Josh and Maya

No she didn't just turn 16, she just turned 15. She's a freshman in high school, he's a freshman in high school, legal or not it won't be appropriate at all for more than 4 years, when she enters college. And when she enters college, legal though it may be, they'll both still be starting two entirely different worlds and it's ll still be inappropriate - if you want appropriate, you"ll have to wait 8 years - she'll be entering the real world and he'll have been there four years - She'll be 21 and he'll be 24. They will, then, finally be in the same world. Until then - it's a doomed long distance relationship. They're doing it absolutely correctly. They'll both be out there - waiting..

He's in college and he's 18. Their ages aren't really relevant except for legality . They will never be in college together - she'll be graduating high school at the same time he's graduating from college. Any relationship between the two of them is totally inappropriate - until she is a freshman in college and even then it would still be a long distance relationship since he's graduated and entered the real world. In short - there's no real future for them - unless they're both still single when she graduates college and each is ready for a relationship with the other.

Whether they like each or not has absolutely no relevance at all to "inappropriate" - He is a college Freshman, she is a High School freshman - that fact alone,makes a relationship between the two totally inappropriate for at least 5 years and in reality for a minimum of 8 years. He's graduating from college and entering the real world in four years. In four years, she's a freshman in college - entering her final playpen. I n short, they are still in two completely different worlds - do you think she'll give up the playpen and instead socialize in the real world ? Do you think she'll even be able to do that ? Asking the same question about right now - do you think he'll give up the playpen and instead socialize in the high school world ? Do you think she'd be able to socialize in the collegiate world ? The answer to all 4 questions is a resounding no. That relationship is inappropriate from the start.

The real life age of Sabrina and Uriah means absolutely NOTHING about Maya and Josh. The character Josh is a freshman in college - that means he's 18; Maya is a freshman in High School - she's 14. That is all that matters. There is a significant age difference between the characters whether he is 17 or 18 and she is 14. As previously stated - the fact that he is a college freshman and she is a high school freshman makes their dating totally inappropriate - and it will remain a major difference between the two until she graduates from college. When she's a freshman entering college, she's a young lady entering her last playpen (Josh is entering his last playpen right now - think he's going to be able ignore all of those women and all of those parties ?)- he's a college graduate going out into the real world. That's two entirely different worlds. That's two completely different stages of life. if they want to date then - they can - but why ? They live in two completely different worlds.

No, it won't be laughable - it'd be legal, but it would be ridiculous - she's a freshman in college (her first year in her last playpen, so to speak) and he's out in the real world - they couldn't be further apart. Once she's out in the real world,too - it'd be a different thing altogether.

She's not going to be old enough for more than four years - and when she's a freshman in college, he's graduated - it'll be legal then, but they'll still be in different worlds and unfit for each other.

Freshman in college and a freshman in high school ? A MAJOR difference in age.

Grade levels have nothing to do with the age difference - The major difference is COLLEGE freshman and HIGH SCHOOL Freshman - Totally inappropriate - I have to ask you - does logic mean anything to you ? A good father would threaten Josh with real physical harm if he ever spoke to his daughter again (Shawn will not only be a good father, he'll feel a strong need to make an immediate good example of Josh - and Maya will love it - she finally has a father.. In four years - legal, yes - but still two different worlds. In the reality of the story line - not a chance.

Unique doesn't change the fact at all - Josh and Mayas College Freshman and High school Freshman - any relationship between them is completely and absolutely inappropriate and will remain so until she's in college. In two weeks Maya will have a father - I'll bet that he makes that clear to Josh - if it's necessary.

You're assuming that Josh finishes college in 4 years. About a third of underclassmen even achieve that.
