Is it normal for a 16 year old girl and a 24 year old guy to date?

i am a 24 year old guy and i met this girl one day and i asked her out. we got along really great but then one time we were out she started talking about highschool and i asked her how old she was. she was 16 and i had no clue for the longest time. i still really like her but is it weird and creepy. im not a creep i just think this girl is really cool and we get along, when im with her i dont realize an age on her.

    Believe me, you will get tired of a 16 year old quick. Just bang her every way you can and as often as possible. There is nothing sweeter than some teenage pussy. Cherish it and fuck it as much as you can. You may never get another chance like this again.

    It strikes as EXTREMELY odd that you'd talk to someone then go on and date them without ever having asked her age. I know a lot of people who date people younger than them, but i believe that when someone's 17, they still have a lot to learn. Besides its completely illegal, you best pray that the parents don't press charges.

      Also depends on what state they live in, 34 out of the 50 states the age of consent is 16.

    Lalala Loser!. You were 8 years old before she was even born, wheres the cut off if this is reasonable? can a 24 year old and 9-10 year old date cause they act mature?

    You met this girl where exactly? was it a Chucky Cheese? Elementary school playground? At a Miley Cyrus book signing?

    My hubby was 26 and I was 18 when we got married. 14 yrs later we r still disgustingly happy! It's seriously rare to have it go this well tho, we r damn lucky. I would offer her every chance to grow up and do what she wants or she may end up resenting u later. Is a tough line to walk!

    Im 25 & could NEVER imagine dating someone that young. Its a big difference in maturity, not just age.

    Hahaha so funny to see how everyones opinion is biased by their culture and laws of their country. From death threats to "completely normal man", lol.
    Anyway If the law says it's okay and she wants it too, you should just do what feels right. It's really important to keep the law in mind tho, because if you get in an argument and she presses charges, you could really be screwed...

    Currently, I am 16 and dating a 24 year old. We have been dating for about 3 and 1/2 months. It's a very difficult relationship, especially with my religious and law-abiding father. Both of my parents know that we have had sex, and that we were together. However.. they do not trust me whatsoever anymore, and my boyfriend and I's relationship has ruined the relationship I have with my parents, my brother, and my best friend. I'm lying to everyone, and I can't tell anybody about our relationship in fear of them thinking it's disgusting or anything else. Just be careful. This is a lot of stress on both of the partners, especially the 16 year old. Although the relationship has struggled, we still have managed to stick together and remain loving each other unconditionally. We appreciate each other, flaws and all. He takes wonderful care of me and has never done anything to hurt me. And I mean that. Not once has he done something that I'm uncomfortable with, and not once has he ever physically or emotionally caused me harm. We are in love, and I plan on moving him as soon as I turn 18. We also plan to get married as soon as I graduate.

    Personally I don't see such immense problems with this situation. It's not stereotypically 'normal' as such, because most sixteen year old girls date guys their age or perhaps a few years above/below, the same with twenty-four year old guys. I think the fact that it is so uncommon may make people believe that it is wrong, or even go to the lengths of calling it a crime (I don't know exactly about what country's laws you are bound to but here in the UK, sixteen is the legal age of consent). I think the main judgement in this is her maturity. Nowadays, with family problems and media pressure as well as general life experiences, girls grow up much quicker than they used to, and if by sixteen she is mature enough to make her own decision on something this important then she can only blame her immaturity for any regrets. Conclusively, if it works and you're both confident and happy, the age barrier should only be as big an issue as you make it.

    In my country it's legal to fuck anyone over fifteen so to ME, this isn't strange.
    In her age, however she's NOT at your level most certainly.

    If both of you are serious about this you can still date and hang out- Just don't fuck her because you could end up in real deep shit if she "Changes her mind" and decides to tell people about it.

    ...Then again, two years of dating and no sex ... yeah >>

  • young girls back in the in day would be marry off to men at the age of six or ten years old and I think that is normal so yes it's normal but make sure you marry her before you bed her. The younger the girl the great chance of children.

    Here is to all of you who have responded. I just attended a parole hearing for my nephew who was 24 when he had a 1 night stand with a 16 year old. He has been in prison for the crime for 18 months and we are told he will be serving a 52 month sentence. This is real life. Lives have been destroyed by what initially seemed innocent. Stay away. You are an adult, a 16 year old is not. 49% say it is normal but I can tell you the courts do not agree.

  • Beyonce and Jay-Z are 12 years apart. If she doesn't mind, and you don't, then try it out I guess. And for those speaking about maturity, you'd be surprised how it could also be the other way around ;)

  • Lucrezia Borgia's first marriage was when she was 13.

    OK, bad example.

    Elvis and Priscilla Presley...

    OK, that ended badly too.

    It's a legal threshold. Respect and fear that. For people, it's an emotional issue. Discussing it in a public format is probably not going to get much rational support for your problem.

    Well actually I was 15 and i went out with a 26 year old, he wasnt a creep at all and we got along good too, and it was me that actually asked him out, he said no to me and that it wouldnt be right, but i told him i liked him and that things could be good between us, he always looked after me and i knew it wasnt just about having a young ass to screw because he never asked for it, and only gave it too me when i would want it! 2 years later im now 17 and he is now 28 and we still love each other, and hes a good man to me and thats all i really ever wanted and need!i say its alright unless your gonna look after her!

    Been there, done that. Didn't work out.
    Although we didn't have sex, I still feel kinda uncomfortable about it, but he was a really cool guy.
    I'd say just be friends & when she's legal, maybe give it a try. That's if you want something more than just the physical stuff.

    I think it is not normal that you don't ask her age while going out, but otherwise, that sounds normal to me. Also, everyone saying "go on, just don't have sex", where I live it's legal to have sex when you're 16. Also for x_bby.love, just to have sex with underage doesn't mean it's a rape, because rape is forcing to sex (in other words, you can't rape the willing).

    You are a creep for even thinking to ask if it was normal. Wait ten years and then it would be normal.

  • I don't think it's normal..It's okay if only you guys don't have sex but 24 is too old for a 16 year old..she's still innocent and has her lil kid ways..She's still growing and to me i don't see why you would feel to be with her..Uhm age don't matter unless you have sex with them..Cause if you have sex with person under the age of 18..It's called rape.So it's okay if you do not go any further then this.But still very creepy..lol

  • Teen girls can be pretty mature in presentation & temperament - and you didn't know how young until after you were dating. But now that you do know, you need to step back because, as others have pointed out, she is in a different stage of life. You can still be friends.

    Don't do it.When I was 16 a 24 year old was trying to date me.I wanted to date him so bad but that was only because I was super attracted. That's normal that a little girl will have fantasies of a older man but the older man should not be making these fantasies come true. I didn't date him because I figure there might be something a little something wrong with him if he is not getting someone his own age.Either that or he just wanted sex.

    Doesn't matter how mature she is,she is in a different point in her life than you and probably need different things out of life right now. Let her live her life,she is young. You can be a friend to her and maybe in the naxt two years when she is at least 18 and if you still think you like her then you should date. For now just stick to your age because if she has caring parents,you will catch hell for trying to date their daughter. It's not worth it.

    Well it's illegal for a reason! Robbing the cradle?! I simply would not allow my 16 year old daughter to date a 24 year old man! No way!! What could you possibly have in common? She's a child and just barely has her boobies. Move on and get another one your own age.

    There is a rule you should use when dating younger girls. The youngest they should be is half your age plus 9, (x/2=y, y+9=g).

    Normal. Though I wouldn't really care too much about her being 'cool' or whatever. Just nail her as much as you can while you can. You'll thank yourself when you're 80 years old.
