When I was 16 I dated a 23 year-old guy for 6 mnths.It was the best relationship both of us ever had.My point is that you should never ask if it is appropriate,especially when it comes to dating.If there is a chemistry between you 2,than what others think should not really concern you.For the record:Is it better dating a teen you enjoy being with or a girl at your age you don`t relly like just to satisfy the "moral norms".Btw,if anyone minds you 2 being 2gether,just don`t tell them about your relationship.GO FOR IT MAN!!!

There are no laws regarding dating only regarding sex which in this case is strictly illegal and would put the adult in prison. Parents who would allow their 14yo to date a 22yo is not using their good judgment and the 22yo would always risk being reported by anyone for statutory rape.

Intimate (sexual) relationships, it depends on the age of Consent in your area. In the state of Kentucky it is 16, in Florida it's 18, in Illinois it's 17, etc. Be sure to find out what the law is in your state.

A six year age difference is not significant if the two people were a bit older, but between the ages of 16 and 22, a lot of mental and emotional development takes place. The 16 year old should be ahead of their age bracket in development and wisdom to date a 22 year old. The 16 year old should also take into consideration why an adult would be interested in dating them. The most common reasons are that the 22 year old lacks the self esteem to interact with their own age group or the 22 year old is counting on the naivete or gullibility of the 16 year old. Just think that over.

The common legal age (found in the majority of states) of consent (whether it be sexual or not) is 17. If you end up dating a 22 year old, and you two become intimate, it is still legally considered statutory rape. Because at the age of 16, you are not an adult. It is much wiser and safer to date someone around your own age, preferably by a year or two.

Opinions will vary on whether a 16 year old can date someone that is 20. Legally, the 16 year old is still a minor. The 20 year old can get into legal trouble for this situation.

Yes, a 18 year old can date an 16 year old. There are no laws against dating but there is about sex and that is only legal if the 16yo has reached age of consent in her/his state.
