Dear "Me..."
I don't exactly know the legal age of consent in Pennsylvania,
but from what I recall, very few states have an age of consent under
16 years of age.
He Is Breaking the Law
That means that in all likelihood, he is breaking the law by having
sex with you.
Why do we have these laws? Well, as I wrote in a previous question,
we have these laws to avoid situations like yours: one in which
an older person (usually male) preys upon someone too young to have
developed the wisdom and judgment ability in order to make reasonable
and sound decisions about their sexuality. You're vulnerable and
confused, and he is taking advantage of that.
This Is Not a Loving Situation
All illegality aside, this just sounds like a bad situation. Here
you are, obsessing about him, believing that you're in love with
him – there's no commitment, and you're not even sure if you're
the only person he's with at the moment. I don't care how old you
are, that's NOT a loving situation.
This Creep Knows It's Illegal
Yes, this is a very bad situation for you, one you must get out
of immediately. I don't care who you think he is, how sweet you
believe him to be – this guy is a creep. Think about it: this
guy must be so impossibly inept at forming relationships with people
his own age, that he must prey upon people too young and inexperienced
to understand what a creep he really is. This guy is taking advantage
of you, and I'll bet you he knows exactly how wrong and illegal
his actions are.
He Could Get in Trouble without Your Cooperation
That said, I now present the answer your question: yes, this guy
could definitely get in trouble for what he is doing. Sounds like
your parents are on to him, and since they are legally responsible
for you for another four years, they could press charges against
him even without your cooperation any time until you turn 18.
Parents Are Wise
Your parents have rules about dating for a reason. I know they
may seem unfair to a 14-year-old, but parents are a lot wiser than
most teens give them credit for. Listen to them, and respect their
wishes instead of sneaking around behind their backs. It'll make
growing up a lot less confusing and infinitely less difficult.
