U.S. Customs

[Jowii]

Hi! I'm planning to visit my SO somewhere in October. She lives in Tucson, Arizona and is 16y/o. I'm from The Netherlands and 19y/o. We've been dating for 3 years now.
My simple question is, what am I going to say to the customs? I've been in the United States 5 times before, so I know how they can be.
I'll be travelling on my own and I don't think they will let me through by telling them I'll visit a minor and stay there for 2 weeks. Staying at a Motel btw, not her house. LONG story...

There are many many threads about this, try looking through them.

But do the same as you did before, just say visiting friend, only for holiday.

Honestly...don't worry about customs too much - I was 17 when I first travelled alone from England to see my SO and I just told them i was going to visit a 'friend' who I met online. I provided them with proof of return and where I would be staying. In your case the only thing that would cause an issue is the age difference, you need to find a way to get around that.
Best, CC.

Hey, thanks for your reply. May I know how old your SO was when you traveled?
