    I don't mind the "you can legally hold hands"-type answers, which I tried to reinforce when I pointed out that the question itself was not about sex. There are, I think, good reasons not to get into the "age of consent" / "statutory rape" side of adult-child dating.

    If they want to know about holding hands and kissing mouth-to-mouth, or if they want to know about whether the child has to obey mommy and daddy's rules, that's one thing. If they're asking about the type of contact that is covered by statutory rape and child molestation laws, they should consult a lawyer.

    I hate to be the Debbie Downer here, but I think you need a reality check.

    You're 18. She's 16. You probably do feel like you're in love - and I get that. But the chan
    ces of you being together even a year from now are slim to none - and slim just left the building.

    Emotionally she has a long way to go, and a lot more life to experience, before she starts thinking about long term relationships. She needs to do these things herself, without input from you.

    If you genuinely care about her, back off and let her grow up some more. That's the correct and sensible answer. And if you can't imagine having to wait, ask yourself what that actually means. The answer is simple.
    With all due respect, i would like to say that 1) i asked if it was legal, not if it fit your personal moral code because we all have different morals and i know the situation better anyways so it is difficult to decide if it is right or wrong if you dont know anything about the situation. 2) i said that i couldnt imagine not being able to be with her meaning I cant imagine not having her in my life, i never said that i couldnt wait because if it is necessary i could and would wait

    Im sorry if that came off as rude at all but i just had to say my thoughts about your comments. I in no way meant to be disrespectful it is just hard to convey things like that without coming off as rude when you are not able to see or even hear eachother.

    And this is why people don't hang out at the forums after their question is answered.

    How was your original 'opinion' that he just responded to, have anything to do with the legality of the original question at hand.

    Hypocrite much?
