I have a crush on this guy...
I think about him sometimes, I'm preparing for an important college entrance for which I have joined a coaching. He's my classmate...and I really like him. Thre...
IMO
I did this at 19 yo, I dated a 55 yo.
Although it was consensual and nobody was gonna stop me,poking back, I wish HE had stopped it. I trusted him massively and knew that he would never let me down or take advantage of me. But the issue was that I was not mentally mature enough and couldn’t ever really understand the scope of the situation.
It was fun, I know that nobody would have convinced me otherwise, other than him. I wish he had made that decision. I think he feels that way too, looking back.
But hey, I know nothing I say will change your mind, just letting you know how we both feel, ten years on.
ReplyLooking back* not (poking back🤣)
ReplyYou go on and poke back girl!!! 🤣
ReplyIn my early 30s dated an early 50s guy. I think he was frustrated by my immaturity in some areas and I was frustrated by feeling too much like a sex object. It can work but watch for mutual respect. That is why similar age matches tend to work best, because there tends to be the most common ground and sense of equality generally speaking.
ReplyTotally agreed. I've dated many women way younger than me and they were solid relationships but my job always was a factor and a major roadblock.
ReplyI was 15/16 when I was with a guy in his 30s.
I got pregnant at 17 and he hasn’t supported his son, who is now 29 and successful.
I’m glad he’s not around and his family were no better, my family supported him.
ReplySorry to hear that. I guess somethings seem good on the surface but always underlined with disappointment
ReplyDepends on how old the girl. When I was 13 I had friends dating men in their 30s, and it was flat out grooming and always abusive and uneven. Even at 20, I have friends dating men in their 40s and 50s. They’re always unhappy
ReplyI wonder what makes them unhappy? Like what are the circumstances that dictates the unhappiness.
ReplyUsually the guys hold it over their head that they’re older or more experienced, or hold it over their head by having a car or buying them things and threatening them with losing that if they were to leave. There is also that most of the guys do understand on some level that they’re dating someone way younger than them because they can’t pull their own age, so they’ll be hidden from family and friends, and that’s never good. The isolation aspect also plays in as well because they’ll tell my friends that they’re simply older or more mature than their group, and slowly isolate them from family and friends. That’s what I’ve seen anyways
