Obviously I’m talking about two adults, I’m just wondering when it goes from okay to “a bit iffy”, either older or younger

      Romeo and Juliet laws are fairly common. 24 states allow a 2 to 5 year age difference. AFAIK, federal law allows up to a 4-year age difference.

      The other 26 seem kinda stupid. Two kids can be in the same class and dating since 6th grade, but for 6 months in their senior year, it’s rape. How does that make sense?

        There’s gotta be some stricter “rules”. Because 19 dating 15 would be weeeeiiiiiird. It’s always iffy because the older you get. The larger the gap is acceptable. Like 25-10 is gross AF right. But 55-40 isn’t a huge deal.

        (Saying “25-10 is gross” and getting downvoted for it is concerning on so many levels. You know who you are you fucking weirdo
