4 years difference= possiable korean relationship?

Question

Hi my sister likes this guy who is 4 years older than her. She is currently 15 and he is 18 and a half. She totally likes him and there both koreans, in my town each Kore an knows each other very well and the parents doesn't care what they do. (cuz we all trust each other)
Anyways.... He seems to have alittle intrest of her and she has a intrest of him. Do you think this is a good chance that they will go out? Do you think the boy will not care the age difference? Should she go out with him?
(Idk my sister wanted me to post this up on Yahoo Answers.... so deal with me..)
If you are korean then you would totally understand this!!! <3
>,< Un-Young!

Answer 1

Why would I "totally understand this" if I were Korean? If you're so sure it's okay, why ask about it on Yahoo Answers?



I'm not Korean. I just lived there for five years and went to their schools, and worked in their economy.



Four years is at the upper limit of acceptable age difference in Korea. Traditionally it was considered optimal.



That's what traditional Korean culture says, but frankly, an 18.5-year-old guy (probably graduated from high school and worked in some capacity) and a 15-year-old girl (still a complete dependent of her parents) have nothing in common. And it's illegal if this is in the US. Let's not forget age of consent laws. Of course, I guess that doesn't matter much to your sister since it's not her who would be thrown in handcuffs and gang-raped by big, burly inmates in a maximum security prison for the next 20 years.



I'm 22 right now. I work full-time. I've been living overseas continuously without my parents' support since I was 19. I've graduated college. What the hell do I have in common with an 18-year-old high school girl, really?



And when the people are younger, a four-year age difference is even worse than that.



Unless the guy is exceptionally immature, or the girl is exceptionally mature (oh, and they all think they are, but are they?) I can't see how this could work.



Of course, I'm sure your sister will do it anyway. Nothing makes a girl more interested in a guy than knowing he's dangerous.

Answer 2

ok, hm. examining a number of those comments is remarkable me. I stay in Kansas, and that i began relationship a guy this final February whilst i replaced into 14, and he replaced into sixteen. not too huge of a deal good? nicely a month later he became 17. i'm a freshman, and he's a junior. Aeh, this is extreme college for you. nicely, I turn 15 on Dec twenty third. so because it extremely is a 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days difference till he turns 18 on Feb 18th. 2 years, and a pair months makes us unlawful. we're not going to break up, there is not something that could desire to destroy us up besides. all people has tried. we've long previous by way of much extra stuff than maximum "widespread" youngsters do and we've caught jointly. Him turning 18 would not make him some intercourse craved extreme college guy that is going to make a ''harmless'' freshman woman to do ''undesirable'' issues. i think as though this is bigoted, by using fact i'm mature for my age yet i'm unlikely to spill my life tale out to furnish you a concept or to purpose and instruct that i'm. what is going to happen to us whilst he turns 18 and that i'm in basic terms 15, and we've been relationship in the previous he even became 17? I have not got any concept. besides the shown fact that it is not in all danger that significant of a deal. If its comfortable with the two the mother and father, the regulation shouldn't additionally be sticking their noses in peoples love life. In extreme college or not.

Answer 3

Shinchon's answer is pro. And, i agree with the comment above me as well.



Just another note, if you think 'if you are korean then you would totally understand this' then you really need to get out more. Everyone "understands" this, and hey -- it's gross, no matter how more 'normal' you think it is in your culture. Should the 18 year old have any interest, that does not say anything good about his character. Bottom line: 4 year age difference is much more when the two people involved are younger, as all ready stated. Get it?

Answer 4

He will break her heart and move on.

No. She will get hurt, I guarantee it.

If he's not interested now, he won't be interested later, even if he pretends to be for a while. He won't maintain his feeling.



4 years difference is not a problem anymore. The age difference is getting bigger as women become more desperate. My friend's boyfriend is nine years older. She is 24 and he is 33. They're happy and have been for 3 years.

Answer 5

Possibly. Why don't she just talk to him?
