And if accusations are made and believable, and police do get involved, then it can be hard getting out of the justice system intact. At a minimum it would cost a lot in legal advice, at worst see you in prison/youth detention.

I like Rob's advice of a chaperone at ALL times.

Keep in mind girls/women can often change their minds, and if she takes a dislike to you for any reason, and if only a temporary argument, and police are called, then you will be the one needing to defend yourself. This kind of situation is often one where you will be considered guilty until proven innocent.

Recognise you are on very risky ground here. Think of the relationship like swimming across a wide river full of 4 m salt water crocodiles. It only takes one to have an interest in you and chances are you won't escape with your skin intact.
