What advice should I give my 18 year old friend that his 15 year old girlfriend is too young for him?

He is 18, she juuust turned 15. She is in grade 10 and he is out of school getting ready for college. Her parents do not want her having sex at all, he is already thinking about it becuase he has a box of condoms there. I do not want to see him getting in trouble with the law just cause he can not keep it in his pants. She is not as mature as him and she obsseses over him already. They have been dating for almost two weeks, and I want to try to tell him this may not be the best idea on his part but without him getting upset with me. Her curfew on school nights is 8:30pm, she's way too young for him! I realize three years is not a big difference, however when the girl is 15 it is. If she were 20 and he 23 I would be happy for him! I like her, but she is not for him. He wants a good relationship so badly he is not thinking straight and this will just bite him in the *** later in life. He specifically said before he met her, "I do not want to date immature young girls anymore. I want someone who is at the same point in their life as me. Young girls are too dramatic", however he did not listen to himself.
Just to show you how overly affectionate she is so early in the relationship...we were all at a family Christmas gathering and she had her legs on him, they held hands where ever they went, she moved her chair at the table closer to him and said "I feel so far away from you, I'm used to us being all over eachother". This just really concerned! Please help! I need advice to give to him without him getting mad at me!

well sometimes there is no way around getting people mad or upset. This is a concerning situation. Jeez, well pull him aside and explain to him you're 18 and she's 15, you're not in high school she is. If you really like or love her you'll wait until she is more mature. and with the whole sex thing you know with immaturity comes responsibility and she might open her mouth and then you're screwed. Just something like that may work hopefully. Good luck!!

I don't know what the "age of consent" laws are in Canada, or if they even have them. Only place in the US that allows legally for a 18 yr old to date a 15 year old is Indiana, and that's just kissing and hugging, no sex. Every state here has "age of consent laws", which say if you're under that age, it's illegal to have sex, and in every state it's either 16 or 17. Canada may have the same thing. So, before your friend goes ahead with a sexual encounter with her, maybe have him or you check the law. Else he could get in big trouble including prison and be on a sex offender's list.
