If your parent approve and he treats you with respect definitely not. :)

It depends if he's really controlling. But no it's not. Is there dating age limits? In my country, you can date an adult until your past 18

@Sarah no he's really sweet, and caring, and were do you live?

When I was 15 I had a boyfriend who was 21. We dated for two years. So! Nothing wrong with that. I'm now 18. :) But were not together anymore. Lol but I wish you guys the best. :) Screw what everyone else says, it's your relationship. :)

Ok I'm going to be honest and coming from another freshman I'm going to say that if UR parents are ok with that that's fine. But it's kinda weird how UR a freshman and dating a guy who could be in collage. Now I'm not trying to tell you he's a bad person and that you shouldn't date him I'm just giving you my personal honest opinion.

It's weird. Like your 15 you still are like a little kid growing up and he's 20 starting his life. You Should be with someone your age. Your a high school freshman. He could be a junior in college.

My bf is 3 years older than me and we've been together for 3 years :)
The only thing you have to think about is why he's not with someone his own age. Your age gap is quite significant, and you have to wonder about a 21 year old with the apparent maturity of a 15 year old.

I completely agree with Nadia.

I think aslong as your parents are ok with it, they happy and informed.. and you are comfortable and happy.. continue. If he starts becoming controlling or things feel weird, just talk to someone. Its your life, this is your choice. Good luck :)

I agree with Nadia! The type of problems and decisions that you have in your lives right now are totally different. Think about who you were a year ago - don't you want to laugh at the stupid things you said or did or worried about? Or kids who are three years younger than you - don't their problems seem silly compared to stuff you're facing now?
I'm not saying that you're immature or that you guys shouldn't date, just be aware that things could get complicated when you're at such different stages in your life. Good luck!

As long as you're careful because he could get in trouble. But if you're mature enough to be in a relationship like that and he treats you right and it's okay with your parents go for it. Make sure his intentions are good. A girl in my class started dating a guy 10 years older than her when she was a freshman and they actually go married yesterday.

Dana M.
Well yes, it is wrong. You're in high school worrying about what you're going to wear in summer, while he's in college, wondering what classes he'll take next year. Also, if you guys engage in sexual activities, he can go to jail and be charged as a sex offender. If he really loves you, he can wait until you turn legal (I think 16) and if you really loved him, you wouldn't want to be part of the reason as to why he could ruin his life.

I don't think it's wrong! There is no specified age limit for love! If he treats you very well, and has all the good features of a great boyfriend, then I say it's ok! My friends parents are actually 8 years apart, they dated and got married and they are still happily married! So there might be a future with you guys! And plus, it's your love so I don't think anybody should have the rights to judge it besides you two! Good luck girly!

Honestly I think its pretty creepy, your still a little girl and he's a grown man. That's just my opinion though.
Apr 14, 2013
Kelly M.
Cindy and Nadia both made very good points. I'd be suspicious of any 20-year-old boy who was interested in a girl that much younger than him, rather than girls closer to his own age and level of maturity and life experience.

5 years isnt a big gap if you're 18 but when you're 15 that's kinda weird...not weird of you, but weird of the guy.

I was 16 and went out with a 21 yr old I think you just have to make sure you know the guy make sure he is. not just after one thing but I think if your parents are ok with it then he can't be a complete creep just make sure you don't do anything you don't want to and if he tries to force you just leave straight away I know itd be hard but if you don't you will be the one to end up getting hurt.
