It's funny. I read the latest maxim magazine where they interview the actress who plays her. She said and I quote:
"In the cartoon she's always chasing after Goku. the leading man. She flirts with him, but he's always running away. It's similar in the movie."
DID YOU EVEN RESEARCH THE PART BITCH?!
What the fuck.. Flirting? So ChiChi was a pedophile. Goku was like 7 in Dragonball.

He was 12 if I remember correctly, and i thought ChiChi was around the same age. She definitely had an early pubescent shape when she is first introduced.
Often times the way they are drawn you can start to assume a character is an elementary age kid but in anime/manga (as well as in real life) Japanese people usually stay looking rather childish until their late teens. I remember last time I saw some High School Japanese exchange students, they were SOOO tiny in comparison to Japanese college students.

Never watched the American Version of dragonball, but in the Japanese version, ChiChi asks his age and he says 14, which is what he thinks he is because it's clarified in the tournament saga that he had trouble counting. Turns out he is 11. Chichi is supposed to be 16 when she first shows up.
But still... Chichi never, ever flirted with Goku that I can recall. The only time I can remember that might be considered 'her taking interest' is when he shows up all grown up at the final tournament in dragonball and she blushes when she realizes Goku has turned into a man.

Also Goku met Chi-Chi early then that, but then they met again that age 16. There last meting was around the end of dragonball when Goku was 20.
Umm that not really true, Chi-Chi flirts with goku lot in the old Dragonball. It happens really fasted, but the only reason why she doesnt keep on bothering him. Is because he promsed to marry her.

Maybe that explains why the upperclassmen in high school look 10 years older than the freshmen when depicted in anime.
