I'm 17 right now and the girl im dating is 14 when as long as there is no sex involved is there any reason why I can't DATE (not have sex) someone three years younger than me?
(shes actually more experienced in terms of dating... already having 2-3 boyfriends before me while i have had no girlfriends before her)
Update:Thanks for all the comments

I think as long as her parents and your parents are ok with it, and there really is no sex involved....unless you want to go to jail, then it is appropriate. However, you should probably stick to public places and only go over to each others houses when the parents are around. That way you are not tempted and it is very obvious that you are not having an inappropriate relationship.
Well hon let me tell you this , girls these days and age are more experienced and developed and so have the laws developed. Im sure you like her but how about date a girl your own age. As a woman I dont believe girls mature faster than boys, they are just better at hiding things and worse when hurt they are vindictive. If you stay with her and in a year you think you are ready, you'll be 18 she'll be only 15,which means if her parents find out you could be charged with statutory rape. Worse if you dump her and thats not what you want whats to stop her from lying, and even if you prove your innocent who will believe you and why would you want to put yourself or parents through that? plus im sure her parents dont even know your 17. Date girls your own age hon, is a piece of @ss or future piece worth it, i mean im sure thats not your intention but it will come up, the topic and subject of sex once you've been together long, plus you'll be in college when she is still in high school the chances of it working out are slim anyway. Back in the day it was normal for Juniors and Seniors to date Freshman girls, things have changed, is it worth it? wouldnt you much rather have a future?
I guess it comes down to what you are looking for in a girlfriend. You're young and there are a lot of people and experiences for you to experience. I wish you wouldn't tie yourself down to one person. However, that being said, I would think a friendship with a person of any age is always a good thing. You say she is experienced already at age 14 with 2-3 boyfriends. Think carefully about this one, she may be more than you bargained for. How much experience has she had and are you proud to be seen with her and her past? Would she fit in well with your friends and your family? Would she encourage you to pursue the things you like or would she try to tie you down? Would she be possessive of your time and jealous of your friends? Would you be willing to give up your friends and the things you enjoy doing if she demands all of your time? She is very young and and will demand these things from you. You're better off staying single or dating someone your own age or waiting for someone who is more mature to come along.
I don't think your maturity level is the same. I would just be friends. The reason is when you are 20, she will only be 17. That's a big difference because you are still both in the adolescent stage of development. But as of now, she has much growth and maturity yet to go. So do you, but you should be ahead of the game. I wouldn't date her. If I was her parents, I'd forbid it.
There is a big problem with dating a 14 year old! You will be 18 and then even more problems! Find someone your own age! Leave the little girls alone!
14 is too young for you. It's different when you're older if there's a 3 year age difference, but in the teen years, 3 years is a big difference in maturity. Soon you're going to be 18 and if you touch her in any way that is sexual (even just feeling her up or anything like that) you could end up in jail. It's just not worth it.
There's nothing wrong with it as long as sex isn't involved. But it may be better if you looked for someone a bit older. 14 year old girls may be mature in some ways but stupid in others. It would be better to find a girl your own age who would respect the fact you havn't had a proper girlfriend instead of just laughing in your face. But if she is mature its ok there nothing wrong.X
I would have a talk with her and her parents to let them know now (before you turn 18) that your motives are pure and that you like her for her (not sex). That should put everyone's mind at ease about the age difference. Until she is 16 or so it should be that there is very limited alone time with you to keep her parents minds at ease. I just wouldn't make any radical changes in the way you go out for awhile. (for example if you go and hang out at her house, I wouldn't start wanting to hang at your house alone all of a sudden)
Just think of it in terms as your 25 and she's 22. Doesn't seem so different now does it?
Girls mature quicker then boys when going through puberty. Boys catch them up.
There would be a big age problem if there were 10 year difference between you in either way.
But 3 years is nothing.
Good luck mate.
The age gap isn't big, only 3 years. So continue dating this girl if you think that she's the one.
Good Luck =)
