    If you're not having sex I don't see what the police would do about it..perhaps look at you a bit funny...but then it might be different where you are.

    If her parents know about your relationship, and openly support it, there's not a lot that the pastor will be able to do outside of his parish (that I am aware of).

    Don't worry. I think you'll be fine. :slight_smile:

    Do her parents know about the pastor knowing? They might have something to say to him if he's threatening their daughter and her girlfriend.

    Again, I'm 95% sure there's nothing that he or the police can do seeing as her parents approve of the relationship, but I don't know every law out there, especially ones specific to your area's jurisdiction.

    I don't know the laws where you are, but at least in my area a 16yo and a 18yo can cause legal troubles if you actually have sex, as well as other places. A 18yo girl in Florida got arrested for having sex with her 14yo girlfriend.

    Talk to her parents though, because they can definitely help with the police. And they might be able to help you figure out what's going on with her because they know her.

    In Florida, I believe that 16 and 18 is just fine.
