She said she is 17 and will be turning 18 in 4 months. I told her I was 19 and will be turning 20 in 4 days (hah.) She didn't believe me and said I looked much younger until I showed her my college ID haha. At that point, I started feeling a bit weird, after finding out that I've been hitting on a 17 year old this entire time. So I finished eating started to leave.
Then she asked me for my phone number and proposed that we should hang out sometime. Apparently she doesn't have a problem with me being older. Well, I gave her my number and took hers as well.
But I still feel kinda weird about this. I don't know if I should be calling her. I mean, she IS underage and I am 20 and have been through so much more. By the time she graduates high school, I would already be graduating from college and going into the real world and grad school.
Opinions? Should I be feeling weird about this?
My girlfriend just turned 18 in June.
She also just graduated in 2008 and I graduated in 2006.
I guess it all depends on compatibility and maturity of her. If she's annoying, then fuck that shit - she's stuck in high school. If she's mature and can have an intelligent convo without flirting - go for it.
She's not underage until you're 21. Then, by that time, she'll be 18 and you still wont be illegal.
Not sure about where you live, but in NYS age of consent laws are 17+ for anyone under 21 and 18+ for anyone 21 and over.
Yeah it's fine. If you like her go for it.
The fact that she is just finishing highschool, and you are looking through grad school can cause problems. She's going to get into college, meet many people, and she's going to start developing herself and finding out who she wants to be and the like. Likewise for you, while you may be focusing on your studies and looking towards the future, she may have her focuses elsewhere (depends on the person). All in all, those things, as little as it seems, can cause problems.
The choice is yours, I don't think the age is that big of a deal. But what your plans for the future are may NOT coordinate for her plans in the future... and if you're looking for a serious commitment, and she's just looking for a boyfriend, then again, there's going to be problems.
It's your call... weigh the scenarios, and think about what you want. At the end of the day, it's your choice to decide what you think is best and will suit your lifestyle and what you want.
I think you should go out with her. Its not like she's going to be with you FOREVER. The college thing, it wont bother you unless you wanna move to some other place where there is more of YOUR type of careers?
One more thing: you will be having sex in 4 months :D
