    Yes. As long as you two are both okay with this level of intimacy, then this is okay for 15 years olds, and is an example of how a young couple can be physically intimate without being sexually intimate.

    Is it appropriate for a 14-year-old to be in a relationship with an 18-year-old?

    An 18-year-old is legally an adult, whereas a 14-year-old is not, which can create a significant imbalance in the relationship. The differing life stages, with an 18-year-old potentially entering adulthood activities such as work or university, can pose risks for the younger person. It’s important to evaluate whether the relationship is healthy and appropriate, and it would be wise to discuss it with both sets of parents to gain their perspectives.

    In most places, the age of consent is 16-18, which is the legal minimum age to have sex. Some areas allow it if both parties are 14, but 14 is generally too young, as most are not emotionally or physically ready.

    It's neither inherently good nor bad. Some 14-year-olds choose to date, while others do not. You should only date if you genuinely like the person and want to be with them, not just for the sake of dating. As long as you set clear boundaries, it's okay for a 14-year-old to date if they feel it's right.

    As long as you are both comfortable with it, then yes. Keep in mind that at your age, you may not want to engage in more intimate kissing like French kisses.
