What's the youngest a 16 can date?

There aren't any laws around being in a non-sexual relationship where one person is under 18 and the other over. Once you turn 16 it's not illegal for someone to have sex with you no matter how old they are.

Hi there,

Age differences can be a big problem for lots of young people - especially in their late teens. There can be a lot of anxiety around what is okay and what's not when it comes to one person being older than the other. There is no set answer for all situations and although there are some laws that are about sex and consent, these don't always cover everything. As long as you are aware of the risks, the best judge is you. There aren't any laws around being in a non-sexual relationship where one person is under 18 and the other over. Once you turn 16 it's not illegal for someone to have sex with you no matter how old they are. This is true only as long as you give your consent and as long as they are not in a position of power over you, such as your teacher. Parents might be cautious about someone who is a few years older wanting to date their son or daughter. There is a danger that someone older is trying to take advantage of a young person and parents will be aware of this. The best thing to do is to check with the person you're hoping to date if they are okay with your parents knowing about it. Someone with good intentions should have no problem with your parents being aware. Something else to think about would be how the relationship is going to work. Whilst three years isn't a big difference when someone is 28 and 25, it is quite a big difference when someone is 19 and 16 years old. There are a lot of big life changes between 16 and 21 and you will be experiencing them at different times. This doesn't mean it can't work between you but you should talk about this difference and what effect it might have on your relationship. I hope this has been useful but if you want to talk more then you can chat to a counsellor anytime you need to.

Take care,

Sam

How can I attract him to kiss me?

Flirt with your eyes. It shows that you're confident, but also that you can play coy. One way to clue him in on the fact that you want a kiss is to look him deep in the eyes, slowly drop your gaze to his lips, and then move them back up to his eyes. If the guy catches on, this is his cue to kiss you.

Article Summary

X

If you want to get a guy to kiss you, freshen your breath first. Brush your teeth and swish some mouthwash or use a breath mint. Put on some lip balm or gloss to make your lips soft and kissable. Pick a time and place where you and your guy friend can be alone together for a while. Once you’re together, be confident and friendly with him. Chat for a while and wait for a moment when you’re both feeling happy and relaxed. Then, move closer to him and see what he does. If he moves away, he’s probably not ready. On the other hand, if he leans in, he might be interested in a kiss. Touch his hand or arm, make eye contact, and move your face close to his. He might take the hint and kiss you right then. If he doesn’t, try saying something like, “You know what? I’d love it if you kissed me right now.” To learn how to get a guy to kiss you by flirting with your eyes, keep reading!
