I hope you're not being serious. Anyway, you might want to find out if her dad has a shotgun. Any decent father knows how to protect his daughters.

I don't think that it's against the law for you to be hanging out and such. The legal age of consent in Mass is 16, so I wouldn't do anything other than go to the movies.

I think you should let that child grown up, and then maybe when she/he is an adult, try a relationship. It is Illegal, if you have sex. Statutory rape is characterized as non-forcible sexual intercourse with a person who is younger than the statutory age of consent. Massachusetts is 16/18 - Age 16 if the man is 21 or older.

I can't say that its against the law to date someone 6 years your junior. However I am of the opinion that a relationship between a 21 year old and a 15 year old wouldn't be a particularly healthy one. I am sure that if you guys had sex, you could be reported as a rapist or child molester by the 15 year old's parents if they ever knew about it and didn't approve, and there would be nothing you could do or say in your defense about it.

Not a very good plan. Age difference is very relative in teenage relationships and many parents strictly observe this. Kinda of like you would be 17 and your partner would be 16. You've dated all through school. The MINUTE you turn 18 your parents say, "Break up!" Your partner's parents may not care for you and slap you with statutory and it will stick! Then registering as a sex offender is humiliating and it will follow you. It may have been an innocent experience set on by a parent's wrath, but the average public will not see it that way. I have seen that happen with a friend!! Totally innocent with no sexual involvement during a divorce and the Mother asked for the minor to stay with someone older while she tried to get things straightened out. But the father couldn't stand the older boy and that was all she wrote. 10 years of hell! No contest either. CLUNK! GUITLY! All based on the father's false testimony and the Mother and child screaming it wasn't a sexual relationship fell on deaf ears. There is too much influence on statutory and it goes based on the parental decision and hardly ever concerns the child who may have been consenting. It's very sticky. The child gets no say so in the matter and even if standing in court explaning they are consenting - CLUNK! GUILTY! Age really has nothing to do with it as far as your life long relationships. My partner and I are 14 years apart - BUT - we are both of legal age. The age difference comes into play when one of you is a minor. Your feelings for each other may be appropriate and mature and you may even intend on marrying but you have to wait. Sorry. Whatever your state legal age of consent is, I would strictly honor it and not risk it. Know your law and also know the law of any counties, cities or states you may move to. Just because there are state laws, remember that county overrides state and city overrides county. Your state will have the basic law and the county and city can add to it. The state may say 16 is the age of consent but your city says 18. Lets say you live in California and you are of legal consent. Move to the south and it changes. You are not covered by that California law anymore. One state may say the parent can sign for the minor to get married. Move to another state and its not legal and you go to jail. If you guys are serious enough, you will wait even if it means 3 years until your partner turns 18. I would NOT risk it! It's way to easy to get into trouble and you have no recourse.

Living in Mass it is against the law, if the parents don't press charges the authorities can, along with DSS getting involved and possibily removing the child from her home.

Umm I dont think Its a Problem Because Its If You Really Love that Person.. And If u really Love He/She It Wouldn't even Be a question U wuld Noe Juss what too do I suggest Younger The person The Better It is for them too Grow An Understan A seriouse Relationship Age Is juss A Number Dont let that hold you back from the one u love

I wouldn't advise it.

Yeah I'm in MA and that is definitely against the law. Why do you want a 15 year old anyway? Get away so you don't have to spend time in jail, my friend. You're lucky most people in MA don't have guns.

yeah it's against the law and it's sick!!! Find someone your own age to date!

it IS against the law, but I don't think that's wrong because i mean there are couples that are 10+ in years age. and I'm pretty sure if one was 15 the other would be 25. It's just that 15 year old is still a minor that makes the difference. If you both really like each other, wait until he/she is at least 18 years of age. Hope all goes well.

this is my least favorite type of question dude if your over 18 and she isn't it's a crime

I don't care if it's against the law. It's a bad idea. Don't do it. Let her be 15 and not be thrown into an adult world too early. It's not fair of you and it would be very selfish of you. It doesn't matter how mature she seems already or if she's already sexually active. Not to sound mean but you need to have some standards.

Sadly it is, though, after age 16 in most states in the US, I believe it is legal, with parental consent.

Dude....that is disgusting... ewwwwww =( find someone your own age or something....

It is against the law in Massachusetts. And I don't think it's socially kosher, either. You wouldn't be falling for a 15 year old child if you weren't "hanging" with 15 year olds to begin with. I suggest you stay away from children, and find some friends your age.

Bad, bad, very bad idea! She/he is a minor at 15; you could find yourself in a very ugly predicament. Just let it go!

Can you say jail, cause if she changes her mind or anything, you're in deep doo doo... Wait until she is at least 18.

It's not against the law to DATE anyone. It IS against the law for you and her to engage in sexual activity. While it may be a good social status for them to be dating a 21yo, it's not going to do anything for your social status but drag it down. Of course, there's also the probability that either or both of you will want to "take it to the next level" LONG before they reach the age of consent, which will be a problem. There's also the matter of their parents. How do THEY feel about your dating their 15yo? How do YOUR parents feel about it? Again, dating, in and of itself is not illegal, but remember that there are many things YOU can do (sex, drink, DRIVE, etc.) that they CAN'T do by law. I would suggest that you stay in contact, and both of you date people of your own ages. If, when your crush turns 18 (or moves out of their parents' home - NOT into YOUR's - for college at 17), you both still wish to date, then there's little anyone can do about it. I would also suggest that you consider no sex until they are 18. At that point, that would still be against the law in some states.

There are over 6 million people in Massachusetts, half of whom are women. Take away those too old and YES, those too young, that still leaves about 100,000 who may be "right" for you. Find different friends, go to different places, engage in different activities...look her up again in 20 years.

Why don't you see what her parents think about it!!
