I have to say that at 15 she isn't even finished becoming the start of the adult she will eventually grow up to be. Heck, she probably is still physically growing!
If I had a 15-yr-old daughter, I *definitely* wouldn't want her to be dating an 18-yr-old. She still has a lot of live to live, and getting overly-involved with romance at that point would only hinder her development as a person. I realize this is not a popular view, I don't care. Boys wil always be there. The ability to go to school, college, discover herself and her opportunities may not. Sorry, there are just a lot of things much more important than dating at 15.
And folks, don't bring up the "mature of her age" schtick, I graduated from HS at 15, bought my first car with my own $ and started working 60 hrs. a week to save up to put myself through college. I highly doubt there are any others more mature than myself at that age, and frankly, I had more important things to do.
I would encourage bluedot to explore the very wide world of "Your Age and Legal".
