Is 21 and 15 cool?

RPatterson · #1 08-12-2004, 04:33 AM

I'm 21 and starting to see this 15 year old I work with. Do you guys think that is cool? I realize alot of people will hate but I think it's alright. What is your take? Also the age of consent in half the states is 16.

i think it's bad.

keep in mind that all my friends think that I'm bad because i would go out with an 18 year old, and i'm 23.

sorry bro but you should cut it off immediately.

Sorry bro, but you are way off base here. She's a sophomore in high school. No way.

while we're on the subject:

does anyone think there's a problem wtih a 23 yr old guy and an 18 yr old girl? one of my friends just couldn't believe i could consider it.

1/2 your age +7.

That's all you need to know and it works with ALL ages.

For 21 (10.5 + 7 = 17.5), you've got 2 and a half years to wait for that 15 year old. Sorry.

Let's apply my equation. 1/2 of 23 is 11.5, add 7 and you get 18.5. So you're right on the cusp here but some people choose to round down in situations with a .5 at the end and in general I have no problem with that policy.

Strictly by the book though she would have to have been born before February 12th 1986.

here's a funny story... this took place like 2 years ago. that might be important. anyway..

i was at this wedding and met this girl. this was like an early wedding and early reception, got out at like 4pm. anyway me and this girl fooled around a bit after the reception. we were all in the same hotel so obviously she came to my room, and we fooled around some more.

anyway then we go to bed. i wake up in the morning and i'm looking to brush my teeth. i go into my suitcase and i have this old ass travel kit from way back in the day. i open it and there's a toothbrush and toothpaste. hey why not right? i notice the toothpaste has the classic old colgate logo on it. you know how you can tell stuff is from the 80s? like remember diet coke cans? anyway...

this toothpaste is old as hell! i check it out to see if there is some kind of expiration date on it. there it is, AUG 85.

i tell this chick.. i'm like, wow, this toothpaste expired in august of 1985!!

she's like, oh, that's when i was born!

I've always used a round down version of the rule. No half years necessary.

I really don't think so. She should at least have graduated high school to be dating a 21 year old. I think it isn't fair to her. Plus you could get in some very serious trouble in many states. Just being close to the age of consent isn't good enough in the eyes of the law and you could end up with major problems.

I don't see a terrible problem with say a 24-year old (or even older) dating a 19-year old: a bit odd but not nearly in the same ballpark as what you are talking about here. Also, she is still in many ways a kid emotionally speaking and in her place in life at this time, and your world and hers are too far apart. In a few years things just might be different but by then you and she will have probably gone your separate ways.
