Too young for a non-sexual relationship

I have a hypthetical question related to something that just happened to me.

I just got home from the mall and I was really close to asking this girl if she was at least in high school (to be sure) and then asking for her number. She looked very young and I was worried she was too young, but I couldn't tell. She looked sophisticatedly dressed teenagerish, but young at the same time, the only reason I was considering it was because she looked exactly like the face and body I would want on a girl. She was just so hot because she looked exactly like I imagened my mirror match (mirroring my own features), that is why it was hard to say, no, she is too young for me.

Anyway, I almost said something to her but lost track of her. See, I just turned 24 and I can pass as 17 and sometimes people think I'm even younger than that, so it was really hard not to still notice her since she looked younger than me by only a few years. Which is natural for attraction of guys and girls. I was thinking if she was at least a high school freshman and I look like I am in high school, could she be old enough for a non-sexual relationship with a guy, what about me? With a guy, yes, but if I am that much older, even though I only look a little older than her, it was a confusing idea. When people get older it is not unusual to have even an eight year gap in age for relationships of course. My sister looks like she is 16 and she is 22 so my family has very young biological age and for a guy we normally want the girl to be younger than us, not older than us so it can be tough for me to wait.

You see what I'm saying about me looking really young and willing to date a girl in high school? It would be awsome too, and bad because she would be immature emotionally, but I'm not looking for actual sex. I would never have sex with a girl if she was under 18 and I'm in no hurry to have actual sex, instead of just a relationship with a very nice looking and friendly girl.

This is just a totally isolated idea that happened by chance and I told myself not to do anything. I could have at least found out how old she was first and then I would have known. oh well. Some story...

 

After about 19, you should not be considering dating a girl who is still in high school.

Stay away unless you think you'd like to spend some time in the grey-bar hotel (aka jail).

 

Be careful about high school girls, they are so clingy and emotional, not that most girls aren't anyway. Now, I'm 18, so I was in high school not too long ago, but yes, the maturity level is very very low on most girls, me and a few others seemed to be the only exceptions. Anyway, after high school I dated a 30-year-old. I had a lot to learn about an older relationship after high school, but I learned and I'm glad I date older males.
I would say just wait.
Usually people become more open-minded after high school and you don't have to worry about the girl's parents as much.

 

stay away.....it just sounds dangerous

 

yeah, id stay away if i was personally you.
but then again, ive beaten up and disowned <b>two</b> people i <i>know</i>...for being 19 and looking at 16 yo imagery.
thats just me though, im probably wrong.

 

I have a 13 year old sister who looks 16.

If I found out any 24 year old guy was going after her, I'd kill him.

Err on the side of caution. You never know if the girl you are trying to get with's family will be angry. Or if they will call the cops. You could get in alot of shit.

 

yeah i agree with everyone else. you might be able to have a really great relationship. but there's too much that could go wrong. the worlds too fucked up for things lyk that too happen. which i find really sad but oh well. just being friends might be sound, but again you might still have to be careful

 

i agree with every one here, don't go there there's just too much that could go wrong you know?
she might not be ready for anything to happen because her mind/body might not be all there yet, it will take her a wee bit of time to catch up with her self
nah man, if i was you, i'd just stay away!

 

does she have a little sister ? i think you should go after her little sister .....

 

You want to stay away from any potential jailbait... just not a good idea. Look at poor Kim in home and away and he didn't even do anything.
