I actually appreciated it because it allowed me to focus on me, without getting distracted by something for which I just wasn't ready emotionally. That's probably where a lot of my point of view comes from. But, truly, while I know there are exceptions, the vast majority of males ages 14 to 22 scare the heck out of me in terms of their lack of maturity!
Thus, there's no way I'd let an older one near my kid. Plus, I personally find it odd that a 21 year old legal adult would dip into the high school dating pool. Surely, there are other college girls out there, and thus no need to seek out high schoolers. First special delivery - April It would very much be about the maturity levels.

I would assume, however, that most 21 year-old young men had fully matured senses of their sexuality, and take into account whether the seventeen year-old in question could cope with that.
My brother was that year-old dating the year-old. I didn't like it because the girl was manipulative and whiny, but my brother's an awesome guy. It would be a case-by-case basis. Originally Posted by hermionesmum.

I think we are making the same point, here. I certainly didn't mean to give the impression that sexual expression in a younger, female partner was inappropriate. Just that a naive girl would benefit from her parents' guidance. Here is what I have to go by: DP and I met when I was 17, we have 11 years difference.

One of my sisters is happily married to someone 9 years older than she is. They have three kids, and as far as I can see, her and her husband fit each other to a T and not the "trouble" kind.

If so I'd be interested in the responses you got. If my dd wanted to date him then I would not have a problem with it. At 17 most of the people I hung out with outside of school were IME most 17yo's have had sex with at least 1 partner. DH and I have been together for 17 years, we started dating right after my 17th b'day, he was He was certainly more sexually experience than me, but then again, he started when he was He is an amazing DH and father. I'm sure my parents worried about him as much as they would have with anyone else no matter the age.
I'm not sure why parents would automatically feel more comfortable with a 17, 18, My DH had all of his well most partying, experimenting, etc. I am very glad I did not meet DH when he was his younger self, I don't think we would have made it and I would have missed out on the amazing family I have today. I am glad my parents and I looked at the person, not the number when we met him.
I think I'll do the same for my children. First of all, by age 17, I can't imagine "letting" or "forbidding" my child from dating. I definitely plan to keep an open dialogue about dating and sexuality, and my kids already know that I'd prefer if they didn't date until they were ready to think about marriage- but I wouldn't absolutely forbid something like that.
Nor would I say "OK, you can date this guy but not that guy" especially not based on something as arbitrary as age.

I was already making life decisions at that age and with my now DH. I also think that while parents of a 17 yr old can and will have opinions about who their kids date, they ultimately can't be in charge. I would have just snuck around behind my parents back if they had forbid me to date at I think feedback and respect for the choices a 17 yr old makes makes more sense to me. I feel that dictating or disallowing a daughter to date someone due to age or whatever would only drive my daughter further away from a respectful grownup relationship with me, ya know?
It would tell her that I think she is incapable of making important decisions for herself in the most intimate way and that I don't think she smart enough to judge a partners intentions on her own?
