No dude, you ALWAYS round up.
Anyone who makes the distinction using half years, is proably to young to date for anyone, so you always round UP.
The best case for this is someone who is 21 years old.
By our system someone who is 21 (able to drink anywhere) can still date soneone who is 17 (unbale to drink anywhere).
By mine a 21 year old can only date an 18 year old, so there is still a little bit of overlap.
Another rule of thumb is that you are only allowed to date someone who is one life stage behind you.
These stages are as such.
Highschool
University
Working at your career
Middle age
Retirement
So someone who is in University can date someone who is still in high school, but someone who has graduated university cannot.
