Wow it's interesting seeing such a wide variety of opinions on this. Thats why I LOVE this place. To put in my $.02 worth, I can understand a physical attraction between parties of different ages as normal. It's not a MORAL situation, it is merely nature and the physics of reproduction. Science has shown that when two people are sexually attracted to each other(assuming both parties are of different sexes), that most sexual attractions are designated in the parts of the brain involving reproduction (meaning that it is the basic need to mate and reproduce that brings about a sexual attraction).
Personally I have had to deal with my part of being pointed at, because I am 38, and my wife is 27. We met when she was 17, and I was 28, and we haven't been appart since. She is very nurturing and attentive to my kids that I have, and we just "clicked" the right way when we talked. Our relationship is the most secure and comfortable one I have EVER been in. I trust her explicitly, and have no worries or concerns. To be honest, I feel like she is the part of my soul that was missing...I know, corny, but its the truth. Now is everyone going to sit there and say I am wrong in pursuing this relationship? Personally I don't care. It all has to do with the situation, and how BOTH parties feel. Now I do agree that someone that is trying to date a girl that is underage, i.e. say under 16, and that person is 21, or 22, then it DOES bring about some question to their intentions....But I say it should be on a case by case basis.
