Okay so I was thinking of posting this on the Random Discussion forum but I decided to post this here as this random question pertains to romantic relationships.

Okay so this question has got nothing to do with me but just out of curiosity but what do you think of a boy who's below the age of 18 dating a girl 1 or 2 years older than him and is 18 or above? Personally, I'm at a lose on whether this is acceptable or not.

I don't see a problem with it. The only thing is in some states, sexual relations between someone under 18, and someone who is 18 or over, even if it's just a one or two year difference, is illegal. I don't think most teenagers, young adults worry about this, but I did know one who did, mainly because he was on probation and paranoid. He was 19 and his girlfriend was 17.

Perfectly acceptable.

There's absolutely nothing wrong; the age difference is not large enough for there to be significant differences in your life experiences and maturity. The only obstacle would be the arbitrary legal one, so for her legal protection, you will want to wait until you are 18 -- or whatever is the legal age of consent where you're living -- before having sex.

You really have to check the age of consent laws in your state or country. Some U.S. states have the age of consent set at 16 (though 18 is a nationwide legal limit to appear in porn). Many other states have close in age exemptions where a 1-2 year difference does not trigger the age of consent issues, precisely so that your situation would be legal, while the much creepier 30 year old banging a 15 year old would be illegal.\

Edit: according to wikipedia (link), the age of consent in singapore is 16 for heterosexual and lesbian sex.

Doesn't matter imo. And 18 Year old with a 16 year old, thats nothing.
