funny how many are squeamish about 18. where as here you could have left school by 2 years, be in full time employment, have a mortgage, legally drink and lots of other fun things considered adult.
This, pretty much. When I was in high school, I had friends who were seventeen and dating dudes in second year university. Like, what the fuck do you have to even talk about? You live in such different worlds. Likewise, when I was in grad school, my at the time twenty-four year old friend ended up dating (very briefly) a seventeen-year-old girl, whom he met when she was hosting at a restaurant. We were like, dude, why? He kept carrying on about how she was mature for her age because she was living on her own while finishing high school, but we all knew that was kind of crap.Addendum_Forthcoming said:Seems weird to me. At least wait until they're full-time working, or studying, or both.
You know ... when people actually begin to get interesting.
Well, I started seeing this 19 year old I met in a bar when I was 30. Then I had a birthday and we were still seeing each other after that.McElroy said:Interesting. Tell us more.Squilookle said:Considering I've dated a 19 year old at the age of 31

Not much else to it really.
Wait, are you saying a college freshmen with HS senior wouldn't work then?Chewster said:This, pretty much.

Realistically, even if you met in high school, once you're off to uni your whole world opens up. How you could maintain a relationship with a high schooler during all that tumultuous transition is beyond me.
I'm not saying it couldn't, anything is possible. I'm just saying, I couldn't really envision 20-year-old me in first year university having a hellova lot to talk about with a 12-grader.BloodStalk said:Wait, are you saying a college freshmen with HS senior wouldn't work then?
Yeah... I imagine it's like having a pet.Chewster said:This, pretty much. When I was in high school, I had friends who were seventeen and dating dudes in second year university.

That's kind ofthe point I was getting at. I don't really care if other peopledo it ... I have enough problems of my own to start worrying about trivial crap like that (so longas notactive paedophilia or in a situation that is professionally compromising and even then not really unless it involves my affairs) ...Fischgopf said:Weird, my experience is that with every year I get older the line between Kid and Adult just kinda moves. When I was around that age, 18 was a Adult. Now that I'm 30 I find myself hard pressed to consider anyone below roughly 25 to be an adult.
So, a High School Kid and a College Kid are both equally clueless Kids to me. I see no issue with them being clueless together.
When you're under 14 there's no range. It's people of your age only.Addendum_Forthcoming said:So it's thoroughly unacceptable to date anybody if you and they are under the age of 14? :/Souplex said:The formula for what's acceptable is Older Party's age/2 + 7. At 20 your minimum is 17.
I would high five the 18-yo dude in a reverse situation also. Though maybe I'd be too envious to.Lufia Erim said:i like how all the comments are about guys dating younger girls and not the other way around.
I knew a girl who at 18 dated a 15 year old boy. No one bat an eye. Hell people were High fiving the dude. Fuck you double standards.
In my first post I wrote how my mum is 6 years older than my dad.Lufia Erim said:i like how all the comments are about guys dating younger girls and not the other way around.
