It's acceptable.

I would only frown upon a couple where one was greater than 18 and one was less that 16.

Go for it.

Age is just a number. I'm nearly 25 and my boyfriend is 22, he was a teenager when we hooked up.
If she likes you, then go for it, but you may get a few raised eyebrows.
Just don't try and take advantage of her... Prove the doubters wrong!

It's completely up to you. yes you will get comments on the age difference, but if you like her enough you can put up with it.

you shouldn't care what anyone else thinks, don't let others dictate your life and keep you from doing things you want.

In ten years time, that age difference will mean absolutely nothing. think about it that way.

Half plus seven rule, aka the rule of social acceptability:

Half your age plus seven is the lowest her age should be.

EDIT: Major error in memory recall there :smile:

Go for it, i'd be weary about shouting it around with your mates but it should be fine.

But you gotta remember you won't be able to take her to clubs and the like.

I went out with a 14 year old (when i was 17), worse age difference but the best relationship i've had...

yeah mate nothing illegal about it if you really like here go for it! but guaranteed u will get enough stick for it depending on what your social circle are like.
personally in my circle it would be hugely frowned upon... a uni bloke going out with someone who just did their gcses? bit....to much

Half plus seven rule, aka the rule of social acceptability:

If half her age plus seven is more than or equal to your own age, it's considered OK.

What's that all about, my parents are both 48, so in your opinion that's not OK. :confused:

When is she 17? You will be 20 so 17 and 20 sounds fine.

So two 18 years olds are socially unacceptable as half plus seven is 16 :s-smilie:

it depends on their maturity not on the day they were born

we're talking about a relationship not sex (yet) 18 15 is fine in my eyes

Shes 16 and im 19. Alright pal?
