Is it wrong for a 13 year old to date a 17 year old?

I met this girl that i am now inlove with online, She told me she was 15 and a freshman at the school I will be moving too in the next month. We've been texting and skyping for the past month and She is just GORGEOUS, mature, respectful, and funny. Well one day this other girl that goes to her school messaged me on Facebook and told me she was lying, and that this girl is really 14 and in 8th grade. So I did some investigating and asked some other people that knew her and they all Said the Same thing, I confronted her on the phone and She admitted to lying about that, then a week later I find out (by stalking her instagram) Shes dating a girl in florida! (I currently am in CT the girl im talking too is in MI Where im moving) I had no idea She was by and She was cheating. I confronted both Girls with this and everyone fliped out. It been 2 days and I told her i still love her and She Said She loved me too and this was all a mistake and that She felt neglected by her gf and that I started talking to her and She fell for me too and She didnt know What to do, She also admitted to being 13! I am a 17 year old sophmore and She is a 13 year old 8th grader I know this seems wrong but it looks like Shes gonna end up with me and Its not against the law if we date I do love her and i know She Loves me Shes very mature maybe even more mature than me but shes so young! I dont What to do.. Haha sorry I wrote a book there :P

    I'm not sure how it's not illegal (particularly after you turn 18), but anyway, I think you should be extremely cautious of this girl. Although you repeatedly say she's mature, her actions aren't that of a mature person. She lied to you, cheated on you, and at the end of the day, she's only 13. She still has a lot of growing up to do. Also, if she's experimenting with her sexuality, you might want to steer clear of her until she's sorts herself out. Otherwise, you're just setting yourself up to get hurt. Hope I helped :)

    You say she's very mature, but lying about her age and her relationship status is not at all mature behaviour.

    It's not a good idea to be dating someone that much younger than you at this age. You both have different needs and obligations. As a 17 year old girl, I can tell you now that even though it might have seemed like a good idea at the time, if I had slept with someone at the age of 13 I would have regretted it so much now. Not because of any of that "waiting for the special one" bull. but because 13 is such a young age and people shouldn't be having sex at that age! I'm not saying you're going to jump straight into having sex, but hey things happen! Judgement isn't exactly at its best when your at the ages both of you are at, things are going to happen that people are going to regret (not just sex) and at the end of the day it's just wrong.

    13 year olds shouldn't even be dating, let alone with someone 4 years older than them!

    Don't do it. If you had to ask the question, obviously some part of you must know it's not right. She sounds desperate and really not at all mature.

    You say she's very mature, nevertheless mendacity about her age and her relationship fame is not ever mature behaviour. It's not a just right thought to be relationship any person that so much younger than you at this age. You each and every have particular desires and duties. As a 17 one year old girl, i'll let you know now that although that it could have gave the look of a excellent proposal on the time, if I had slept with anybody at the age of thirteen i would have regretted it a lot now. Not considering of any of that "equipped for the specific one" bull. However due to the fact thirteen is this kind of younger age and folks shouldn't be having intercourse at that age! I am now not announcing you're going to leap straight into having intercourse, but good day matters occur! Judgement shouldn't be exactly at its quality when your on the ages each of you are at, matters are going to arise that persons are going to regret (now not just intercourse) and on the end of the day it may be easily incorrect. 13 year olds mustn't even be relationship, let on my own with any person 4 years older than them! Don't do it. Whilst you had to ask the query, definitely some a part of you ought to appreciate it is no longer appropriate. She sounds determined and peculiarly in no way mature.

    The girl already a mess and has her issues going on ,don't date her unless you want drama from a bisexual girl and develop trusting issues.Eventually you won't know if she has a female friend or is her secret lover(any of her female friends she hangs with).Just move on and date someone close to your age and that is not bisexual too.Also,you're 17 which is OK to date and have sex with,but things will change once you turn 18 and let's say she's 14 by then,so it gets confusing and a legal matter,as well to cut your sexuality with her which is hard to cut off if you're Involved with her sexually.Then you're going to wish it was better to never had initiated that relationship in the first place.

    Personally I believe it's wrong. Your 17 and I bet you'll be getting urges man, she's only 13 so don't rush her into anything extreme. Treat her well, but I think you should be looking for girls your own age or even older? Final decision is up to you.

    Yes it is illegal if you date her. You need to recheck the laws because if you get caught with her you can go to jail. Also, she has lied about everything so far, and only admitted her lies after being caught in them by you so how could you trust her? It also sounds like she is very immature, and isn't sure what she wants, male, female, younger, older etc. I suggest when you move you find a girl in high school that you can trust, and not have to go to jail for. Good Luck, and I Hope This Helps.

    I think its wrong that she lied to you and cheated, seems like she'll just continue lying, but anyways it is kind of wrong that youre 17 and shes 13 but if you love her than there isnt much that can be done, its still wrong though, but hey, your life , do what you want

    Date her fair enough, but with all this lying how you know you can trust her. But having sex with her is a bad idea as then it gets illegal just take things slow and wait a while but date her by all means

    Well it is against the law to speed things up. but you should know what feels right or wrong. you just need to inform her about some of the consequences.
