Is it wrong for a high school senior to date a freshman?

[Snowball]

I'm wondering what everyone thinks, because I just recently started dating a freshman. She is barely 2 and a half years younger than me. Is this wrong?

 

[Gilder]

Probably the worst place to ask this.

But I don't see any problem with it.

Good luck with her parents though.

My personal opinion is that at best, it shows a pretty big maturity gap. After high school, a 2, 3 age difference isn't as big of a deal, but the difference between an 18 year old dude and a 15 year old girl is significant.

I wouldn't do it, and I don't know anybody that really made that work for much time.

 

[skadistic]

Nope not wrong. Its a standard for years and years of tradition.

 

[Snowball]

Well, I'm only 17, and she turns 15 in a couple weeks. And she's pretty mature for a freshman. But her parents are going to be a problem. Mine seem fine with it.

 

[Trajan12]

Not, inherently. But I will say that the vast majority of the time older guys go after such younger girls it's because they know they're naive and easy to take advantage of. They know girls love attention from older guys.

That's not to say this is what your situation is, just what it most often is.

Not at all.

Yeah it's creepy. There were always senior guys that hit on freshmen girls at my school and I thought it was creepy as . .. .. .. ..

Well, if it's cool with her parents I'de say it's ok, but be aware that if something 'bad' happens yor gonna' get blamed for everything and be in really deep . .. .. .. ....

So in my view it's not wrong, but it's not a good idea either.

And she's pretty mature for a freshman.

I think I know what you mean

 

[LucyDuke]

Right or wrong, I don't know. But it's not going to work out once you graduate.

Depends what you are looking for. Malts at the local soda shop, OK. Anything sweaty, forget it.

If she's so intellectually fascinating that you just want to enjoy her company on a purely platonic basis, go right ahead. Lay a finger on her and you're just asking for trouble.

I've been there. Girls that age just can't keep panties on; they literally catch fire and burn right off. Don't get burned, you WILL regret it. (And I'm talking about 20 years ago. Nothing changes.)

I dated a freshman just about my whole senior year. We had a great relationship on almost every level. It has the potential to be problematic, but it's not.

I was in the same boat as you, 2 1/2 years older. She

That explains a lot

 

[h4ppy]

That depends if freshmen are from ninth or tenth grade in your school.

edit: Also its fine if she was held back a year in the past.

 

[Chris85]

Nope, I have no problem with it, because I dated a freshman when I was a senior too. I was 17 she was 15, it only lasted for 2 months.

 

[nivi]

Yeah it's creepy. There were always senior guys that hit on freshmen girls at my school and I thought it was creepy as . .. .. .. ..

I thought it was creepy too, until I became a senior.

 

[GenMarshall]

I say there is something wrong with a high school senior or any upper class men dating a freshman. They only date underclassmen just to break their fragile hearts.

Then again, this is based on my experience when I was a freshman dating a junior.

 

[Merkinball]

That explains a lot

Oh yeah? What's that explain? Get really, really, really, in depth.

2 years age gap at that age doesnt sound too bad, i heard of much worse when i was at secondary school
