A year ago, I liked a 16-year-old boy. I didn’t date him nor say I liked him for obvious reasons (I was freshly 19.)

I’ve been looking for girls to experiment with to explore my bisexuality and get over my attraction to men, and there’s this one friend I have online. Not going to lie, she’s hot. But… she’s 17 and a junior in high school. I’ll be 20 in April.

Do I risk ruining the friendship and possibly have something more if she says yes (and finally see if I like women) or get over it?

Our years of birth would be 2005 for me and 2007-08 for her.

I’ve heard 17 and 19 is alright though, and that’s the age I am now! Besides, it may not be anything serious.

    17 and 19 is a two-year gap, that’s totally fine. Don’t listen to the Twitter-damaged weirdos who say otherwise.

      Might want to check the laws in your local jurisdiction. In the US, in some States this may be OK under Romeo and Juliet Laws (check your local laws if the whole “kill yourself from a misunderstanding” bit of the story is required). But, some States do not have such laws. No idea if/how this applies in other countries.

        Most of Europe has consent age in the range 14-16. I think Cyprus is the outlier with 17. Most don’t have the equivalent of “Romeo and Juliet laws”.

          Sex is basically inevitable.

              Have you ever seen, met or been a teenager?

              Cause for 95%, that’s impossible

      she’s still 19, but i think they don’t like that she’s almost 20 (maybe the other girl is almost 18 tho)
