Interesting responses so far - yeah I'm definitely not comfortable with just agreeing to go out with her right now. I'm more than happy to be friends with her at the moment, but nothing more. The challenge is now getting my parents to get off my back about it -.- Still gobsmacked to see them so in favour of it.
For those wondering - I'm from the UK (Northern Ireland). Legal Age of Consent here is 16, so that isn't an issue - otherwise there's no chance I'd be considering it - it's just more the fact that I could be her teacher that irks me more. If I was actually her class teacher, then anything physical would be straight up illegal. I'm not, but it's the fact that I could be. I'd really rather wait until she's at least 18 and has left school before I even consider dating her as an option.
