I was thinking of posting about being leery of age of consent issues myself,
but you have hit it on the head, James...

The age of consent in Michigan is 16.

Unless you're both 16 or older you are in a world of trouble if they want to
*make* trouble for you. And it's not the normal juvenile trouble that gets

The age of majority in Michigan is 18.

Unless you're both 18, your guardians and theirs have a fair bit of say
about who you associate with, when, where and how, and there's not much you
can do about it.

At 42 it's easy for ME to say be patient but 1 year is a lot less wait time
for me than it is for you.

(...) My advice to you would be to "tread lightly." If you have a serious relationship that could last long-term, then with some patience and discretion you should be able to last until you are both 18 and she is free to chose whom to see. Trying to (...) (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
