<p>Yeah, somehow they just don't look good together. When I see that I think that they are only desperate to be the same as everybody else.</p>
<p>All the senior guys I know would have one thing in mind if they dated a freshman: true love and a longterm relationship based upon maturity and mutual faith in Jesus. Ahem.</p>
<p>Senior guys want some young poon-tangy tang and freshmen girls want attention. The end.</p>
<p>*these are sweeping generalizations, not really fact.</p>
<p>I ALWAYS thought it was really weird for seniors to date freshmen, but last year I had a thing with a 21 year old guy and I had just turned 17. He was cool but it didn't work out, and I think age played a small part...He would be out drinking/partying/"cruising" and would want me to do the same and couldn't understand that I had homework (he just got back from the military). </p>
<p>I think the age difference can become greater as we get older, but in my opinion, a 14 year old is still practically a child, while a 17 year old is practically an adult.</p>
<p>In general I think freshman girls tend to be more naive. They want a boyfriend because they're in high school now and they feel they need one, so it's easy for a senior guy to date a freshman for whatever reason. By sophomore year I think girls tend to be more mature about it. Every case is different though; you can't judge a relationship based on the age difference.</p>
<p>What is the big deal with age? There are married couples out there 10 years apart. That's like a senior dating a second grader. You all are making too much out of this.</p>
<p>^Uh, no they are not the same thing.</p>
<p>No, GinPA, that's the point of the whole thing. As we get older, the age gap becomes more insignificant. However, high school is a period of physical and emotional maturing (completing puberty). Freshmen tend to be the ones more or less beginning to experience puberty while seniors tend to be the ones who are nearing the end.</p>
<p>So yes, when we're all grown, the age gaps can be great, but for now the couples tend to look awkward and don't work out very well.</p>
<p>yea the age gap is a difference and when i was a sophomore i knew a senior that dated a freshman, he got made fun of and i didnt think that it was right just because he was 18 and she was 14, and i still think it kinda wasnt. But here i am a senior now and i like this freshman girl who looks older than 14 and im 17. Maybe it isnt right, but i like her and i think it depends on the person. I mean there are just some freshman that i think look alright, and the others just look completely too young, im not desperate either, if i date her it would be my choice regardless of what ppl think cause i would like her and not for the other reason too... yea it can happen</p>
<p>yeah, there<code>s this girl in my grade (freshman) , who goes out with a senior.. it doesn't look that weird because you can actually tell when you seem them together that they</code>re not just using eachother for things, and they truly like eachother, soo.. it's more like "sooo cute " when you see them together .. not weird.</p>
<p>I'm a junior and I look exactly the same as I did in freshman year (except maybe I've gained some weight). I think if someone dated me freshman year it'd look about the same, perhaps better, as if he dated me now.</p>
<p>physically you might look the same but hopefully you have matured and gain more experiences</p>
<p>Why is this inappropriate? Because most freshmen girls are not emotionally mature for a relationship with a senior guy and most senior guys are not emotionally prepared for a relationship with freshmen girls...'nuff said. </p>
<p>(honestly, it's just a matter of maturity)</p>
<p>I was 14 and dated a 19 year old. kind of. we were more like "close friends'</p>
<p>that's gross...and incredibly illigal.</p>
<p>a kid at my school(Graduated long time ago heard story from teacher) when he was a senior dated a <em>gasp</em> 8th grader(were a 5-12 grade school) NO JOKE! HE Went to UFlorida(Something rare 4 my schooL) On a baseball scholarship almost made to MLB but end of senior yr had a injury that stopped him for playing forever..now he lives in NY and is married to this grl</p>
<p>There is a teacher at my school who is in his early 30s. Two years ago he was dating a girl who was a senior at our school. She graduated and they broke up when she went to college. Now he is dating another girl who graduated this year, although they started dating at the begining of her senior year, and though she is now going to college in Washington, they are "going strong."
BLEHHHHHHH</p>
<p>^ Oh My Gawd. That is illegal and wrong at so many levels. Has no one complained? Parents, teachers, other students...do you all just look away? Seriously that is wrong and I would go to the police...that man deserves to go to jail.</p>
<p>It's not illegal if she's 18+ (most seniors are.)</p>
<p>Honestly, seniors are no more mature than freshmen. They are still adolecants who have nothing on their minds but everything they shouldn't have on their minds. High School dating is a complete disaster.</p>
<p>yeah i have kids that should be college sophmores that r seniors in my grade but thank god theres only 1/2 male teachers one is married and one the seniors dont have and is ugly</p>
