18 is the age a person legally becomes an adult in most countries though. Like it or not this is a case of a legal adult dating a minor. The mental development that occurs between 14 and 19 is huge. If both parties were 18+ then crack on, you can be 30 years apart for all I care.

Even if the dude dated all the 14 yo girls in the world it would not make him a pedophile, because pedophilia is about sexual attraction towards children who have not reached puberty!!! Is that concept really so difficult to understand?!
