He's only a year above the legal age limit but idk If it's okay or if I'm being stupid.

If you two genuinely like/love one another and he's not taking advantage of you or hurting you, then I believe it's alright. Be careful, if you two become intimate with each other there's the risk of him being charged for statuatory rape.

You should make sure to ask your parents if it is okay. When i was 15, i dated a guy who was 18. It was a serious relationship and everyone in our families thought it was okay as long as we didnt do stuff together. We obviously did but only told our close friends. We really had to be careful because of his stepmom. She has threated to call the cops tons of times and so forth. So just make sure you are careful and make sure this boy is serious about you.

At first look I think he's too old for you. But if family is ok with it after meeting him, then it's ok I suppose.

I'm seventeen and my boyfriend is 19. My parents are okay with it, and his parents don't make any comments about our small age difference. I would say as long as it doesn't cause problems with your family or his, and you two have a healthy relationship, it's fine!

When I met / started dating my now fiancé I was 16 & he was 19. If you're comfortable and happy with him then give it a try

i dont think its okay because your a still a child and he is an adult .

okay well your age difference is only 3 years, mine is 5. currently, I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 23. we started dating when I was 15, and he was 20... but we both knew what could happen if we got caught, BUT we both knew we were serious about our relationship. I think you should make sure that you BOTH are committed to your relationship, and if everyone you know is okay with it, then go for it.

oh, and be safe.
