With another 15-year-old?  Sure.  With a 22-year-old?
(and, I have to add, a married member of the UK military
shagging a 15-year-old foreign national in the UK)  If she
was a child (as you say you were) he was *definitely*
an adult in a position of some power, though the act
was certainly consensual.

I've no problem with similarly-aged people; the laws
here address that situation specifically.  But a lot
of promiscuous young girls are looking for attention
and not sexual gratification.  Also, this was a one-hour?
night? stand; you mention a girlfriend.

As I said:  IMNSHO, you ought to know the person *well 
enough* to know their approximate age.
