I must say if I had a daughter of this age wanting to be with a man of my age I would not let this happen. I also know how I feel for her now and what I believe. I would not know how he feels or if I could trust him either. So I do see where they are coming from. When I was a 16 year old I would have no problem being with a 21 year old woman. I had plenty of different things on my mind back then though. I learned to control my self from back in my teenage days though hehehe. I do most of the same things now that I did when I was 17 or 18 but I am still a little young (besides the going to work instead of school and the paying of taxes). I guess this will change in time also. (Not paying of taxes but the other activities)

I turned 21 3 months ago and she turns 17 in 3 months. I like her very much and she seems to like me but I believe her parents do not approve. They have no problem with her talking to me on the phone but I think that's just because they know nothing can be done over the phone. Every one seems to think that when two people are together that they are having sex. I think this is the reason they don't approve. I mean... They don't even trust her with guys her age. So my age makes it even worse. She wanted me to talk to her parents about it but I am not sure how I tell them I want to "go out" with their daughter and I won't have sex with her yet so don't worry. I know she is under 18 and I have no problem waiting... As long as I can be with her till then... For some reason no one seems to believe me? Do you all think that the age gap is a little large to be trying to have a relationship?
