Re: legal dating age
Until the age of sixteen it is not wise for a 19 year old to date you because a statutory rape charge is possible. I believe you are actually
asking about sexual relations with this young man.
Secondly, you should consider that
sexual relations lead to childbirth and can lead to diseases rampant in society. Once you have taken a misstep in sexual relations you will live with it the rest of your life.
