Dating : Is it ok for a 17 year old girl to date a 21 year old guy?
I’m 17 and my love interest is 21. We are both Christian and have the same views and unique outlooks. He’s weary about being in a relationship with me and I totally understand that. I’m just wondering from other people’s perspective if it’s morally wrong?
There’s a big gap in maturity between 17 and 21. Lots of 17 years olds feel like they’re mature when they’re not. I don’t want to say « don’t do it » but I would advise caution.
As a 22 year old I taught 16 year olds. Honestly, some of them were attractive on a superficial level, but I knew they were really different from me. Even if I wasn’t their teacher I couldn’t date them – they would just be too exhausting. 17 year olds worry about teenager shit and 21 year olds deal with adult stuff. If your friend was in a relationship with you he would have to support you in your life, but you would probably have a really hard time supporting him in his life.
Is it morally wrong? No, probably not. If you’re in a relationship for the right reasons, then how could it be morally wrong? It doesn’t sound like he wants to date you to take advantage of your inexperience.
Like The 1975 would say: « [She can’t be what you need if she’s seventeen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXYSD65UpSg) »
Morally, no. If the age difference is not concerning to you within the relationship, it shouldn’t concern anyone else.
No but it might be legally wrong where you live if you do fun stuff
if you had to ask reddit you already know the answer
I generally go with the rule of: divide the older persons age by 2, then add 7 as the measure of acceptance.
(17 is fine)
no you will go to hell and be put in a hot dungeon with Satan and poked daily with a hot prod.
