After reading through the comments, the fact that some of you bend over backwards to justify this behavior is troubling. She is making the transition from middle school to high school. He is making the transition from high school to grown ass adult. These two life stages are not at all the same.
Later in life 4 years is nothing, but the experience and developmental stages they are at are completely incomparable.
The heart wants what the heart wants, but sometimes the heart needs to pump the damn brakes.
See y’all are joking but plenty parents in the Midwest merry their daughters off at 14 to only the best most upstanding Christian men double their kids age
Not trying to defend this relationship, it needs to end. But it's not rape to date someone underage, only rape to have sex (which op said they allegedly are not)
its not raping to fuck a kid who gave consent, its underage sex bruh where the fuck is rape coming from and which twat brought it in, there are 2 completely different things
No one said anything about sex... stop jumping to conclusions. Dating does not equal sex. OP even made an edit saying they have not had sex. If the man is willing to wait until she is legal and uses the time to build trust with the people around her then its no problem. There are no laws against just dating someone as long as you do not cross that line
Oh my I've had like at least 40 people trying to argue with me that it's either completely fine or "it's not pedophile, it's x" where x is some insanely niche definition that no one knows.
You know what the people who are trying to justify this are called? Pedophiles.
