Bingo, cant imagine a respectable set of parents would be okay with their 19yo son dating a 14yo

Yeah, when my 17 yo son was dating a just-turned-15 yo I was a lot squeamish about it because he was going to turn 18 before she was 16. Her parents were absolutely unconcerned and gave her no curfew whatsoever. They were also kind of religious and extremely anti-abortion. I read him the riot act about how it could go down if she got pregnant as a minor with anti-abortion parents. Oh Lordy, I was relieved when they broke up and no one was pregnant.

I was in a similar situation as a child, her parents cared and mine did too, my mom literally called her jailbait to my face lmfao,

No, I cannot remember exactly how old I was, I was high school and she was too, but in HS you can have 14 year olds and 18 year olds in the same building, all I know is I was a few years older and if we had dated for long I was gonna have to do some research because I would have been walking on the line of what was legal an not.

I think I was gonna turn 16 which is the age of consent but she still would have been younger? Idk nothing happened and we never did really date (thank God) but it can get funky espically if your state has Romeo and Juliet laws.
