How young is too young?

How young is too young to date?

Met this really amazing girl the other day. Very mature. Working whilst still at school, extremely young and really not bad looking.

NO PICS!

I asked her if I may have her number to call on her and she gave it to me.
Now this is purely for entertainment purposes at the moment. (movie, night out etc.)

But how young would be to young to make a move on and start a relationship?

She is 17 at the moment. I'm 31.

If you look young then there is no need to worry about your age. If she's a hottie never let her go...
 
My opinion. I dated a guy that was 29 when I was 17. It went on for 2 years then it all went to schit. If she's worth it or if you're that sad/lonely, go for it!

I am not asking the legal status of said engagement. I am asking the social acceptability of possible future relationship. Noting that social values went out the door a very long time ago!

Legal sure, but the guy will look ridiculous and gross and the chick as if she has major issues - true or not. And as the guy you'll probably lose the respect of your peers...

...imagine having to introduce her to your boss at a function or to your patents. WTF would any guy at 30 want to date a teenager?! :wtf:

You are assuming she wants a relationship with you. Don't create an ideal dream in your head. Your mind is your own worst enemy... you will only set yourself up for hurt later on.

The "chief" of the one clan in Kwamhlanga was in his 40s and dated a girl of 16. Needless to say someone found it fit to shoot him in front of her shack.

Social acceptability aside, the biggest hurdle is maturity. Of which at 17 compared to 31, there is likely none. With the social aspects you have described, you will likely end up a replacement father-figure or a "get-away-from-home-issues" thing.

Depends on what you want from it, also add to the mix when she gets out of school and go into college. Remember there is going to be a few changes before, during and after that starts to happen, then you should be asking yourself are you going to joll with the students and actually fit it? She might be mature, but you might need to ask mom to have sex.

True that.. But if she's hot you've got to pay less attention to people's opinions. Does she even know you're 31? Are you into her? Is she into you?
 
Touching and DECIMATING does not fall into same context....:p
 
What kind of parent lets a 17 year old out for movie nights and dinner with a 31 year old would be my question.
