The thing that troubles me the most about this thread is not the fact of an age difference and whether it's socially/morally/legally acceptable....but the fact that you guys all use the word "dating" synomymously with "having sex". I'm sorry but if I go out on date with a guy, no where in my mind at any point of the night am I thinking "We're gonna have sex tonight thats why we're out on this date". If I'm dating a guy, I'm doing just that DATING him. We're goin out to dinner, to see movies, to the park, shootin pool, whatever...we're not having sex. If I'm F**KING some guy then we're doing just that f**king. These words DO NOT mean the same thing. Maybe it's the fact of a gender difference and thats why there is a different meaning to these words. But by girls/women not knowing that you males think that dating=sex, thats when the issue of rape could come into play with an "adult" (someone 18+) "dating" (as you males would use the word) an "adolescent" (someone >18).
