What age gap is acceptable and what is not?

[storm ore]

So this is not a vent but i was curious to know people's thoughts on age gaps and im talking which age gap would people be labeled a pedo for? Asking as a teen so I want answers referring to teen relationships

honestly it really depends. if you’re 16 dating a 14 old— that would be weird. if you’re 16 dating a 17 year old— that would be fine. it depends on maturity levels really

if you’re 15 i’d say dating a 14-16 year old is fine— but anything older/younger than that is weird lowk

2 years is fine imo.

Imo it really matters on when you met so thats why I said only referring to teen relationships because 4-5 years age gap is fine if people meet at 20 and 25 right but imagine a 10 year old and a 15 year old

So I feel like me personally 2 years as well

Like 16 n 14 ehhhhh i mean honestly depends but

Its not 2 bad

But then 17 n 14 is way overboard

I've seen people say that 18 n 15 is fine and honestly I think thats just a situation waiting to turn into a disaster

maturity levels also play a giant role— a 14 year old and 16 year old are on total different wavelengths and stages in life

in my opinion

[dense wren]

no that’s insane

Yeah so thats where i think for me atleast its fine because I've always had the same maturity level and im not trying to say im mature or wtv but talking to 16 year olds to me they seem to be at the same level

I do think there is some difference in opinions but on a relationship level i dont think its pedo danger
