Can a 12 year old date a 16 year old?

Hi = ) I'm 12 and I ended up dating a 16 well 15 year old. It didnt go to well. We talked and we wer into the same stuff and we liked each other. But it just turned out he wanted sex. So we broke up. A girl I knew who set us up dated sum1 around 16 and It didnt go well either. i hope this will help. Ur guy might be different. u should go for it if u feel comfortable with it!

Answer:Date? Yes. However, there is little a 16 year old would have in common with a 12 year old. The previous answer bears this out. In the event that it was purely platonic, even the suggestion of any sort of sexual contact could potentially put the 16 year old in jeopardy, for life.
