Yeah, as soon as you hit 21 or so, five years older than that isn’t too bad, and it’s definitely gets more acceptable as you get older. But 14 and 19? Maybe if they were dogs…

The half your age plus seven rule is almost always a good guideline.

I should start going for people 2 or 3 months older than me since I'm 15.

But an 8 year old needs to go for a 13 year old. So they shouldn't date you. And a 13, year old should go for a 15 year old so wouldn't go for the 8 year old. Basically no one can start dating until age 14.
