How do we get her parents to lighten up?

Aaron said:

The experience levels need to be in the same ballpark.

Elsie Responds:

I agree because I've experienced the same situation as Aaron. I am 20, and going out with an almost-24-year-old. Three and a half years difference in age, and a bit of an experience gap too – he's two years out of university, and I'm just two years into it.

As Aaron says, by 20 - 24, an age gap that size isn't so much of an issue – but even I was worried at first that our ages would be a barrier.

She Needs Less Serious Relationships

Aaron is right; at 15, she needs to be able to have lighter, less serious relationships – meet, get together, break up, meet someone else, gossip about boys with friends.

Being with someone, however wonderful, who wants to spend the rest of his life with you will put huge stress on the relationship even without her parents' qualms.
