<p>Well it will be weird for him to date you. Keep that in mind. Its not uncommon though</p>
<p>It’s intriguing to view responses from both perspectives.</p>
<p>I think that it’s fine though.</p>
<p>Lawl…in either case…the senior, whoever it may be, will be off to college next year. Waste of an emotional investment if you get involved.</p>
<p>Any other opinions…</p>
<p>I…really wouldn’t recommend it. I’m in a situation eerily similar to yours (but I’m the senior guy) and I wouldn’t date her because A. It would look really bad on my part and B. We’re at totally different stages in life. She’s fun to be with and all, but I can tell that I (and most other seniors) are a lot more mature than she is. The age difference is really big because a lot of changes happen in high school.</p>
<p>Not to mention the fact that a year from now he’ll be meeting many attractive females who will be DTF.</p>
<p>i’m a 17 year old senior (turning 18 in december) and if i had a relationship with a freshman girl… i’d feel like a f**kin pedophile</p>
<p>the huge gap in maturity is too much</p>
<p>I don’t understand, there are married couples that are years apart</p>
<p>^ The age disparity represents a smaller proportion of your lifespan as you get older. Also, there is less physiological and emotional development during most 3-year periods than the one between 14 and 17.</p>
<p>What a turn of events. If you’re both for it, then why not? Bear in mind, however, that he will be leaving in less than a year (assuming you’re looking at a long-term relationship), and it’s difficult to stay together in that situation. Males in college are subjected to too many temptations.</p>
<p>It’s whatever. If you guys like each other, go for it. I knew ridiculously mature freshmen and ridiculously immature seniors. Just because of the age, doesn’t necessarily mean a gap in anything.</p>
<p>Just don’t sleep with him. It’s illegal in most states.</p>
<p>^Only if her parents press charges. If it’s consensual, and they’re both in high school, I’m fairly certain there will be little legal consequence. In Texas, for instance, there is a Romeo and Juliet clause that states if the two parties are within a certain number of years in age (three, I think), then it’s legal for them to have sex.</p>
<p>But I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves, eh? ;)</p>
<p>^Actually, that’s not true. Rape (as it’s classified in many states) can be tried without anyone pressing charges. Someone else could tip off the cops, especially in the cases of minors. </p>
<p>They would probably be outside of that three year range- and relatively few states have the Romeo and Juliet laws. Most states just have a 16/17/18 year old consent law. </p>
<p>It was just a statement lol.</p>
<p>I wasn’t talking about sex lol… justa relationship</p>
<p>Lol.</p>
<p>Usually, one eventually leads to the other. Just saying ;)</p>
<p>ETA:
Actually, now that I think about it, that statement only works from relationships -> sex. Sex -> relationships does not often occur.</p>
<p>Bumpppppppp</p>
<p>I have been in a situation like that before (and I was the freshman girl). I do have to say that it is going to be hard to keep it going after the senior graduates, especially if they decide to go to college far away. I don’t think that you should let the fact that you are a freshman and he is a senior keep you from dating. If you really like this person, then there is no reason for not dating them. Who cares what other people think - you should not let that get in the way of what you want to do.</p>
<p>freshman and senior? cheeken anda coww!!?</p>
<p>Dorpheen anda whayre!?</p>
<p>Thank you misplusdich… :)</p>
<p>Parent here.(I don’t think you should link threads between parent cafe and high school life; WAY worse than freshman and senior!)</p>
<p>I see bigger problems in store when you are 18 and she is not. I think you should ask yourself why you prefer someone so much younger, and why you want others opinions.</p>
