when i was a senior in high school i had my own moral rules, i only dated freshmen girls and up, any 14 year old was out of the question, not only because they were young but because the anything below 15 was a big turn off for me. I was 17/18 at the time.
Shortly after turning 19 i met this 15 almost 16 year old girl, i was not in high school anymore and she was a sophomore in high school, i gave it a shot... asked alot before seeing her, every adult of whom i got advice from were ok so it was basicaly depending on me so what i did is found out if she was mature enough, if we had things in common, at first she was very mature she surprised me alot of times and her mom approved me because she used to like me alot. But things didnt work out it was a complete different world , i was in college and she was in high school, complete different goals and toughts, after a while i realised i was too old for a 16 year old, and moved on.
In conclusion, iam now with girl older than me and its much better, if you ask me if i would date a high school girl or a girl 18 or younger the awnser is NO.
the same i think for guys who are 22,23,24 who are with 17,18 year old girls, i dont think its a good idea, even tough they may be ''legal'' the difference is alot, (not the age difference) unless youre into playing video games all day.
