I have kind of a sensitive question about dating and morals?
There's this girl that I met almost 2 months ago and we hang out most of the weekends now and started liking each other but basically I said no because I'm a senior and she's a freshman. The age difference is too much, my morals are telling me it would just be wrong. Unfortunately I'm really starting to like her and prom is coming up...I still don't know about dating yet but I'm seriously considering at least asking her to prom. I know the age difference is bad but would that be wrong? I need opinions on this but I'm afraid to ask people because I don't want them to think I'm a creeper or something but I'm beginning not to care what other people think. The fact is I like her, the question is would that be, in your opinion, wrong?
umm definitely nothing sexual will be happening haha yes i'm 18 but the most i've done is kiss and its gonna stay like that for a loooong time, thanks everyone I feel kind of dumb now tho haha :)

I guess its okay as long you don't start making out with her or something. A lot of people would think you're taking advantage of her because she's young. Also, if you're 18, that could be a problem. Good luck buddy. :)

Let me first say DON'T invite her to the prom if u don't plan on actually being a couple...tht will just get her hopes up and make her feel awful. Honestly though, it may seem weird but its not tht much of an age difference. U just gota be careful if ur 18. But as long as she's mature and u 2 like eachother I don't see anything wrong. Seniors have dated freshman wen I was in school. (Which was only 3 yrs ago since I graduated) Although I wouldn't want my daughter dating a senior at tht age lol. U just gota follow ur heart. And if people talk, then they talk...so what. Hope this helps

The truth here is that three years difference in high school is a big deal in some ways.
Once you both turn into adults the three year age difference is nothing.
As long as your intentions are innocent towards her (not trying to entice her into sexual situations), then I'd say it is positive and healthy to take a girl in your same school to a dance. Just to have fun. Innocent fun.
The problems start when you turn into an adult when she is still a child.It seems an increasing number of girls her age are opting to be sexual but that doesn't make it right and there is a huge difference of opinion on whether or not teen sexual situations are OK.
If you lived in my shoes, you'd understand from my recent past, that my daughter's friends did mess around in high school, got pregnant and that ended up in situations that had an effect on our family that was negative.

Age is just a number is like saying jail is just a room.
Being in high-school myself I would personally not date someone that is at least 2 years younger than myself. Next year you will be 19 and she will still be 15. That's a pretty large gap considering you're an adult now and she's still a child. Also considering that if anything sexual happened you could be charged by her parents if they didn't approve of anything.

Ask her out! You can always go as friends. I dont think age matters unless shes a teen and not mature. I would always go out with guys 3 or 4 years older just because they were more mature and had beter morals then a dude my own age. if you do ask her just make sure you have self control and treat her like a friend be a gentlemen that way she knows you dont want to rush things and get her all emotional that shes your date. if people talk let them talk, follow your heart & seems like your a great guy for even wondering if that would be good for your friendship with her.. that shows that you actually do care about her more then you thought. Good luck!

Really its just three years...a 23 year old dating a 20 year old is the same age difference but doesn't sound as bad...If you like her good chances are your feelings will only continue to grow or won't go away. Seriously go with your gut or more like your heart.

NO. There is nothing wrong about that. In hs the kids make it look wrong but that's immaturity. The only point in your life where it will become hard is when you mature and she's still stuck on the childish mentality. Other than that its okay.

It is better to have loved and to have lost then to have never loved at all.
That being said I think you should go for it. However, with the long-term relationship in mind when you are in college she will be in high school. When you are in a career she will be in college. Not saying that this will hurt you but it certainly has hurt me. Answer my question please.

It's what, three year difference? My parents where like twenty years apart, and no one gave them any crap. Hell my hubby is five years older than me. Ask her to the prom! Be a man!

It's not a "morals question". It's a "common sense question". It's easy to see why you're alone.
