That's too big of an age gap right? She's not 16 till' July.

He's a "really nice boy" according to a Mum I know. But still. He apparently said "I"m just going to get to know her...maybe when she's 16 we could get together if it works out"

What do you all think?

Should I be worried? DD is very mature....she's had a couple of light romances...not boy mad at all...more than one boy in her friendship group have had crushes on her but she's never shown interest.

When I carefully asked her about this young man she very carefully answered "We've been talking."

Hmm

In the past she's always been very open with me so I don't think she'd sneak around to see him. We're quite easy going....but 19!? He works part time, has graduated high school (we're in Oz) and is apparently starting teacher training soon.

Oh dear. I'm worried. Why can't she like one of her boy friends who are all 16!?

While not a huge age gap, at the ages they are I would say it is inappropriate. She is still underage and as a 19 year old he should probably know better. If I was her mum I would be uncomfortable with it. It’s a hard one as you don’t want to push her away
