There is no such thing as a "pedophile" legally. The legal terms for sexual activity involving underage minors include "child sexual abuse", "statutory rape", "sexual abuse of a minor" and "sexual assault".
According to the American Psychiatric Association, a pedophile is an adult or an adolescent aged 16 or older who is primarily attracted to prepubescent children (generally aged 13 and under). In order for one to be classified as a pedophile, there must be a 5 year age difference between the pedophile and his/her preferred partners.
If you are talking about the age difference in which someone is considered off limits to have relations with, that will depend on the jurisdiction you are in. In many countries/states, there are close-in-age exemptions that exclude punishments for sex with underage minors if the older partner is close in age. For example, in Canada, the age of consent is 16, but those aged 14-15 may have relations with partners no older than four years than them. There are no close in age exemptions in jurisdictions such as California and the UK.

Dating is legal but the parents will have to be OK with it since he is a minor. The big age difference though, where he is still a child and she is old enough to be his mother, could indicate she is a pedophile and the CPS might get interested in this. The age of consent is 16 unless she works in a school, then it is 18.

In the strictest sense of the law-yes he would be considered a pedophile. Most states recognize 17 or 18 as the age of maturity. That is incorrect. A Paedophile is an adult person who has sexual desires for pre-pubertal children. There would be no stigma attached to a relationship with only 3 years difference. In most areas around the World a 16-year-old is above the Age Of Consent in any case.
Am 13 want sex with 40 year old what do you do?
Sounds like you have a crush on someone. At your age that usually passes and if he has sex with you that makes him a pedophile in the eyes of the law. He can go to prison and be marked for the rest of his life. There's no difference if he is taking responsebility for it or not, it's his responsibility as a adult to not have sex with children. Wait til you are of legal age.
