<p>yea i dont like where this is going... i am unsuscribing</p>
<p>As a parent, i told my daughter to watch for junion and senior boys when she was a a brand new freshman, she said, yeah yeah, then a sophmore girl told her the same thing- she believed her....she finds it creepy when seniors are dating freshman regardless of which gender is older....she remembers her naivite as a 14 year old, about older boys lying about what they did with younger girls and how those reputations stuck, thank goodness she never felt flattered by the seniors' attentions. She figured any guy that no other girls his age would go out with had to have some problems. No girls their age or even a year younger would date them? Either they were creeps, they had gone through everyone else, or were so immature what would the interest be?</p>
<p>In response to the title, no way. I wouldn't even date a sophomore.</p>
<p>haha random thought...</p>
<p>wouldn't be weird to like be 13 or whatever and meet this 8 year old or something and be told that they would be your future spouse? (for those that have larger gaps in their relationships)...or like some said...a 6 yr old and a 16 yr old</p>
<p>just think about it....lol</p>
<p>lol, starryeyedgirl, I've thought about that too. I know, it's so wierd right?</p>

<p>My 2 cents is:
It's Wrong. As a senior your mininum 17 (Unless you skipped or what not) maybe even 18. Freshman age in 14-15.</p>
<p>Remember freshmen year... Yea.
Its pretty much statutory rape and people will look down on you. Don't listen to what other people say about it though. If you two really like each other, she is mature and its legal its fine man.</p>
<p>Last year I dated a freshman and it wasn't to bad. My rule is 2 class years.
so 9th=11
12=10th
anything past high-school is your own judgement. This year i dated a sophomore and she was pretty immature and it just wasn't a fun relationship.
If your a senior its so much nicer to have a gf who is 16+ and can drive also.</p>
<p>its not statutory rape unless theres actually intercourse involved. not that i support this kind of relationship.</p>
<p>You guys do realize that a senior (17-18 yrs old generally) dating a freshman (14-15 yrs old) is not as big of an age difference as all you guys r making it out to be</p>
<p>Go by the half your age plus 7 rule.</p>
<p>ugh.........</p>

<p>Yeah, but its a hell of a difference mentally. And the guys usually going for the younger girls are either a.) Horrible at dealing with girls their own age, so have to go lower on the proverbial high school food chain to get any kind of attention from the opposite sex or b.) Using you (the girl) as something on the side. Sorry babe, but your nothing but a play thing. </p>
<p>And I'm sure there is gonna be the usual "My boyfriend is different, we really connect and care for each other, even if I'm only 15 and he's 18" </p>
<p>Your boyfriend is a loser.</p>
<p>hmm.. there aren't a lot of freshman senior couples at my school.. but a LOT of junior and freshman couples.</p>
<p>just my 2 cents =)</p>
<p>I'm a guy, lol. And I don't date freshman, but i have dated a sophomore. I just really think people try to associate maturity with a number too often. Even when I was a sophomore and i dated a senior, people had problems with it. And many people have problems with guys dating girls more than a year below them, which some of the time is justified.
I will admit that the biggest problem with age difference (esp in high school) is that a senior and a sophomore are at totally different points in their lives. As of right now, though, i've been single for 4 months... so i guess my opinion doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>seniors dating freshmen is a little too much of an age gap.. 2 years isn't that bad though. when i was a freshman i dated a junior, and so did quite a few other freshman girls that year. but there are always problems with the age difference. when i was a freshman my parents would not let me go out, so i had to sneak around all the time and it put a big strain on the relationship. i've been off and on with this same guy for 2 years now, and there are still some age related problems, like now he is in college and i'm still in high school and we don't see each other much, which is why we're not seriously dating.. but it's really different with every case, it could work out. But senior/freshman relationships are just not prone to work</p>
<p>what if...</p>
<p>the senior was dating a freshman of equal age?</p>
<p>...hmmm</p>
<p>I know a friend who's dated a person 12 yrs older... very serious relationship, too. That friend was very very mature for his age, yeah, yadayada it might sound weird... but anyway.</p>
<p>I think it depends on the individuals. There is the possibilty of a mature freshman who sees through it all. (but this is unlikely). Otherwise, if maturity doesn't match, it shouldn't be.</p>
<p>I sound so hypocritical. I'm 17 dating a 20 year old. My freshman year, he was a senior but we weren't even considering dating then.</p>
<p>OKay, no Junior or Senior worth anything who has maturity, class, common sense, does not date an naive immature Freshman. I don't care how "mature" they think they are. The Freshman (boy or girl) has no idea what they are getting into. There is noone closer in age that finds them attractive? That to me is warning enough. And if the only person they can find to impress is 3 years younger. Also warning.</p>
<p>Laurenem: What kind of guy would be willing to let you get into so much trouble with your parents? Does that show he cares? Having to lie, sneak around, cheat, what kind of person thinks that is good....Think about it....</p>
<p>What would you guys think about a senior who has dated a good deal of people that are his/her age and decides to date a freshman, and is clearly not just out to get some?</p>
