Name-calling isn't necessary, he is not a creep or a pedophile. Also, the girl is not a child, she is an adolescent; a teenager. Using age as a deterrant as it has been used for the sake of argument against the relationship, let me explain an example that makes that sound less appealing:

At one point in my relationship, I was 18 years old and my girlfriend was 17. I was an adult and she was a teenager, similar to the situation described. It sounds dumb to say that a 17 and an 18 year old can't be in a relationship. Without sex involved, why should a 14 year old and an 18 year old be any different. We aren't talking about marriage after all.

In this situation, age is just a number. I personally think everyone is blowing this way out of context. Oh well, BG, if I were you, I wouldn't worry about what the people who come on here just to flame have to say. I would be careful and heed the advice that others have posted, but don't take anyone's insults personal.

If you choose to enjoy the company of a 14 year old, so be it. You aren't harming her in any way, so just treat her and yourself well, be smart, and responsible.
