My friend told us tonight that her older daughter (16) is seeing a guy who's 24. They both share the same hobbies like cultural country dance and both into farming like. Apparently it's "ok to date when the when the guy gets the parents permission" because she's under 17? 17 being the age she can make her own decisions fully.
I'm astonished really. I've got two 13 year old girls I have no problem dating and what not within their year group.
AIBU to think an 6 year age gap at 16 is too much. I didn't know what to say back to my friend. I think I was in shock. I didn't meet the boy but my friend seems to think highly of him. They met back in February
