She's sweet, and always nice and caring. I talk to her about everything all the time. Her cute laugh and her smile. The way she can be light hearted and silly. I'm also physically attracted to her, but obviously I won't do anything regarding that.
Allow me to put it in simple terms:

YOU ARE AN ADULT

SHE IS A CHILD

It doesn't get any more complex than that.

Now go find yourself someone your own age.

Couldn't have said it better.

So, if age is just a number, and you and your GF have an age difference of 5 or 8 years, is it OK for a 18 year old to date a 10 year old, or a 13 year old? Come on... your rational is just a cop-out.

That part is true regardless of the ages of the participants

He doesn't plan on banging her or anything, so what's the big deal? If it doesn't work out in the coming years they can just part again.

Not gonna read the whole thread, but:

If I were her father I probably greet you at the door, Louisville Slugger in hand.

The morality is for you to decide. There's countries where girls are married at 14.

Some girls mature mentally far beyond their years at age 16. However, most don't and there's a plethora of growing up that usually occurs between 16 and 21. Think about yourself and how you've changed in those years. There's a world difference between a 16 yr.o. dating a 21 yr.o. and a very mature 19 yr.o dating a 26 yr.o. (my parents, and even then it took a long time for my Mom's folks to warm up to the idea).

The law does not approve, and I think the parents can slap a restraining order on you if they don't either (depending on the state).

I'm sorry, but she's probably just a little girl infatuated with the idea of going out with such an older guy.

Basically I'm trying to say: Bad idea.

[edit]
One more thing:
I prefer my women holy and still innocent.
First: that statement simply sounds molester sketchy.
Second: You've said yourself you've never had a girlfriend, so how could you possibly know what kind of girl you'd prefer. Get some experience first. And no, that doesn't have to mean having sex.

I know how wrong this question seems; an adult asking a riduculous question like this must be crazy. Well, if that is what it is called, then call me crazy. Not yet though. :D

There is this particular girl and she is fly. Very fly, and I'm asking you kind folks your opinion regarding this scandalous topic.

Is it morally acceptable to date somebody who is that young? :eek: It isnt' against the law is it? Hope not. Let me tell you what though, being brought up in a Christian household, i not intend to have sex before marriage and besides, I did meet her at a church. :) But on the other hand, i'm a 3rd year college student and she is still in HS... I kind of feel like i'm robbing the cradle. =( ARgh.. What 2 do?

She is soo fine. She looks like a Korean singer named Boa. Here is Boa's picture.

Well anyways, here is the picture of the gal I like... This is my gal

So what do you guys think? Proceed on or back off? She does have a wonderful personality and isn't stuck up or anthing if that helps. I realized that women who grow older get more corrupted with drinking, smoking etc... I prefer my women holy and still innocent. :D

its wrong. you're too old. giver her 2 years. move on, and then come back. sorry.

I would question everyone asking mature the girl is when the post says he's never had a g/f....it sounds to me like he's the one that needs to do some maturing. You've both at completely different stages in life and no matter what you've made yourself think, you have virtually nothing in common. She's way too young for you, find some girls your own age and spend some time with them.

The issue isn't 5 years age difference, because something like 28 and 23 is fine in my book.

This may seem harsh to you at first but it is what IMO represents reality. There are several reasons why your particular situation is a bad idea. The first one is that while she may be a nice girl and all, girls of that age are very impressionable/insecure and are likely to go out with almost any guy that is interested in them. So she is not old enough to really decide what she wants. For your part, you have to admit that if you find yourself attracted to a 16-year old, then there is very little or no mental connection involved in the attraction. The only thing driving the attration is pure sexual attraction (think about it, evaluate what is going on and be honest with yourself). All the generic stuff that any woman can provide (smiles, cuddling, sex whatever) that you like in her are considered pure sexual attraction. At your age you should be seeing things from a much more mental perspective and nice, sweet and cute aren't part of that perspective. Also disturbing is the fact that you failed to mention any characteristic of her other than the fact that she looks like someone famous. The very fact that you are posting this on a public internet board means that you aren't sure whether this is right. But once you come to realization of what is actually going on, it is up to you to act according to your beliefs.

BTW, If this is your first experience, just do it right and you will thank yourself for it - find someone over 18, finishing HS really makes a big difference.

yeah.. I think it's wrong, and to make things worse..are you sure she is even 16? from looking at the picture, she could be anywhere from ages 6-16

yep, it is just wrong.

If she was 17+, I guess it be marginally acceptable but 16 is just wrong.

Although morally it would be ok... I don't see how much a 24 year old person and a 18 year old person could have in common. Speaking from experience....if the age gap is that big, it's most likely not going to work out. I was 18 and I dated a guy who was 25....BIG MISTAKE...relationship (if you even want to call it that) only lasted 2.5 weeks.

I'm 19 now...dating someone who just turned 22. He's graduating college in 2 months and I've still got 2 years to go. Even though we're pretty close in age...things will become difficult once he graduates and leaves. But one can always hope for the best, right? :)
