Does he like me? Would it be legal to date?

Answers:

Dear Confused,

He likes you.

He likes you not.

He Might Like You

Hmm... The evidence you present seems to imply that he does like you and if I had seen what you describe I would lean to that side. But don't take my word for it. I can't read people's minds.

Ask Him If He Likes You

Carl She is probably too shy to just ask him. I think she should try indirect communication.

My advice would be to maybe ask him. The direct approach is often the best, although if caught off balance by the question, he may just deny it. I think if you came out with your feelings first it might be easier for him to tell you his. If the answer proves t'be undesirable, I'm sorry.

Find Out Your State's Age of Consent

If it doesn't however, that would be a good thing. But that brings me to your other question. Is it legal? The thing is, I don't know.

Read our article about age of consent and statutory rape laws.

Laws dealing with the age of consent and things like that are different all over. You'd have to find that out somehow, and since you didn't supply us with the state in which you live, I'm sorry to say I can't look it up for you.

For now, let's say it is legal.

Age Difference Matters When You're Not an Adult

Regarding the age difference: He's nineteen and you're fifteen. I know that age difference while you're in school really makes a difference and as you get older it starts to become less of a big deal. I mean, some adults are nearly a decade apart from their spouses.

Mr. Post-Sensitive Yes, but so is he.

However you are not an adult and you still are in school.

Your Personal Preferences

Being only eighteen myself, I have trouble imagining your situation. The thing about this is that you are friends from school. It is quite possible that the age thing really doesn't matter to either of you. Like you said you didn't even know his age before you started liking him. That you guys seem to know each other pretty well would seem to remove any other problems prone to starting a relationship.

It's Up to You

I figure if

  • he does like you, and
  • it is legal, and
  • no sex is not a problem for him,

then all that's left is for you to make your decision.

Have a nice day.
Buddy
