I’m 18. Is it ok for me to date a 14 year old?

Hey, I'm genuinely sorry that you've been put into this situation, but in the long run it's definitely best if you don't do anything too bad right now. At fourteen this girl isn't in the same place emotionally as you are and a relationship will mean a very different thing to her than it does to you, especially if she's not sure of her sexuality. My advice: give it time. Two years from now if the both of you are still interested in making things work it'll be more acceptable and perhaps even last long term. Whatever happens, best of luck!

I don't think there's a problem with the age gap unless she thinks there is. You have to make sure she doesn't find it uncomfortable. Take things slow. I honestly see no problem in that 4-year age gap, especially if she's mature enough. Don't force her though, ask her out to the movies to see a movie she likes or simply on a walk. She will eventually grow dependent of you :)

As you know society doesn't deem it ok to do so. Because you're 18 you can end up getting a serious charge. I guess it may have been ok if she was 16 (consenting age). Especially how SEX isn't a factor and if you and her choose to abstain I think to save you any possible trouble you should wait till she reaches a consenting age.

4 years is not a huge age gap. I was dating a girl nearly 9 years younger than me and even that wasn't huge. When she is 18 you'll be 22. Does the age gap still seem huge now? The problem here is the close-minded society that will assume out of fear that you have ulterior motives to be dating a girl this young because you are the adult and you know and she is below the age of consent and she is for all intends and purposes technically a moron so you are surely taking advantage of her and all that crap that all they do is make people terrified of their very own shadows.Find out what the age of consent is and talk with the girl. Wait until she comes off age to get into a relationship and do do some research into what constitutes statutory rape in your state/country before you two do anything sexual at all.Last but not least. As mature as she may seem to you, do take it slow. Child sexuality is always in development till late teens so she may think she knows what she wants herself but in reality she may just be discovering her sexuality and sexual identity. She is still at a stage where her level of hormones is not stable yet. And it's not just for her benefit but for your own too. If you get too emotionally attached with her and she wakes up one day and decides she doesn't like girls anymore you will be left a ruin! So do consider these things too.

Well. In theory, yes. It's alright to date her. However, keep in mind that society can be extremely close-minded about age gaps, especially when only one partner is of a legal age. I know from experience that this particular age gap can lead to larger complications and issues than you might be able to handle. That's from my perspective, though. Just be sure to keep this in mind if you two do decide to start dating. It can really easily go wrong if you aren't careful.

I think that it's okay. But you should remember that age doesn't matter, but intentions do. If you're sure that you love her as your girlfriend, it's ok. If she agrees, and you love eachother, i think it's totally fine.

No. That simple. you may find it easier to connect with someone younger but that doesn't mean it is ok. Sorry.

But in a practical situation it is illegal therefore no thought process should go beyond that. Two different ways to think of it from a business perspective.

14 will get you 30...
