I need some advice, theres this chick that just moved in next door and she`s only 16. She`s my brothers age, but see my brother is gay. So she always comes over and hangs out with him, and she`s always really flirty and nice with me. I`m 22, I dunno if I should just go for it or say "hit the road too young for me." The latter is harder though, cause I`m really startin to like her. Any thoughts on what I should do? Does age really matter? The age of consent in Canada is 16.
Honestly, I'd see no issue in people your ages starting a relationship Most girls are a lot more mature than boys at 16 and are ready for a relationship It depends entirely on both of your characters and maturity levels. She could still be quite naive and vulnerable, in which case you would have to account for this, go slowly, respect it and treat her gently On the other hand she could not be, it's not entirely age dependent I'd say get talking to her more, get to know her, and give it a go if you're willing to be careful. But I would back off if she seems immature for you or not ready Oh, and if the parents are in the picture, get on their good side and show em you mean no harm
Currently about 4 days ago. A whole class of them actually 6 years prior to that of course, I was one I have met several 16 year old girls in my lifetime, believe it or not. Is that so hard to believe? Really? You need to get out more Are you just annoyed because you are a boy? Aw
She's flirty with you because you're an "older man". But if age mattered that much then I wouldn't be with my partner who is about 16 years older than me. Just be nice to her and a gentleman and don't worry about it.
If by "mature" you mean fucking any arrogant asshole with a pulse and getting away with it then yes teen girls are far more mature than teen boys.
Thanks for the advice guys, I went for it and asked her out, she said yes. Lets see how this goes, she is VERY mature for her age, so I don't think it'll be too bad
I think the key to this is "For Her Age"... I am sorry, she is a child..You are not. I agree that the 6 year difference is not a big deal, if she was 22 and you were 28, but 16... Come on, you can use everything you need to to justify "FOR HER AGE" but you are still fighting the fact she is a child... Sorry man, find a woman your own age and let it go. It is just my opinion...
Surely if you truly believed that age doesn't matter and that she is very mature you wouldn't be asking for advice in forums, you would just get on with it.
Not at all. I was just pointing out that in my experience, which is considerable, teenage girls are really no more level-headed than teenage boys. I know a great deal of them, and only a very small number of them have any semblance of maturity. Most have no idea what they want, and take no time to think about anything. I have heard it said many, many times that teenage girls are more mature than teenage boys, but I have never seen it as anything but a myth that people repeat. It was a light comment, not intended with any actual hostility. The neg. rep. was not necessary.
It depends on you two. Maybe the chances that you both want the same thing are a little slimmer but neither of you will know until you give it a chance. If you just want to hear that it's not sick and wrong, well I don't believe it is.
That's good to hear, I asked a couple of my friends about it, and they were just like and "if that was my 16 year old daughter I'd kill ya". Then they were tellin me to set my "standards" a little higher. Fuck "standards", who I like is who I like, age is just a number. It's not like she's 12 or something. I'll never let age get in my way in the future, unless this one ends badly...LOL
I think saying that age is just a number is a bit of an oversimplification. As a rule, age is a pretty good basis for this kind of judgment, but there are always exceptions. It is better to focus on the exception than to try to throw out the rule altogether.
