age gap
- klarawieckposted 12 years ago
0 Take no notice - age is just one of the other things that make us different and it can enrich a relationship beyond anything 'normal' people can imagine. In my case we have a gap of over 30 years and all it does is provide us with an amazing array of attributes that we can give or lend to each other.
On the other hand you do need to be more like a kid and he needs to be more like an adult for it to work
If it happens, go for it without fear and enjoy the game.You backed up your opinions with why I think them - so you're backing up your opinion with another opinion?!
And you accuse me of empty moralising?
Oh, thanks for the laughs.
or crazy
This is the only really important thing, along with how you 'fit' together generally.
I am not so sure about winning your man in a poker game, what did you have on the table as collateral !!! Well, you know, that's what happens when you get too cocky about your A/Q full house and the other person is holding the fourth ace

Joanna...I know it can be a bit different when he's the one that's younger, males often (not always) mature slower and it's not nearly as common to have a younger male instead of a younger female when there's a big age difference. However, just because it's not common, doesn't mean it doesn't work...again, it all comes down to an individual thing. I have a very good friend who, at the age of 18, right after graduating high school, married his 32-year-old girlfriend who had two kids from a previous marriage. Wouldn't work for most guys just out of high school, but like me he'd had factors in his life that made him grow up fast long before he met her, and by time he got out of school he was ready to move forward with the next step in his life rather than sit in the relative stagnation of parties and "hanging out with the guys."

He is under 18, and you are 27?
Where I live that qualifies for some serious charges and jail time, as still considered a minor !
Sorry, but what would possibly attract you to a young, still not grown nor near maturity, in school, with 17 year old girls, and parents probably an issue, can't legally drink or smoke, socially do you go out for dinner and pay or a school dance and feel slightly overaged, students assuming your someone's mother, homework, will that be a priority, and school pressure for trying dope situations, will you share common interests like skateboarding and wii games, do you both discuss safe sex and when would you have time to, I'll stop but on that last note, is it not uncomfortable having sex knowing he's under 18?
I mean no disrespect, I suppose I am in shock, yet still entered the thread, which seems to be quite supportive. Always best to go with the majority in a forum
peace
kimberlyThe OP did not mention sex once, she talked about being in love and becoming 'sweethearts' the sex and lust element all came from you
And Quark !! you just have dirty minds the pair of you Nor did she mention a country of origin...not every country has the same laws regarding ages of consent
. That said, even if the age of consent is 18, that's not far off in this case anyway.
However, I am kind of wondering why everyone assumes that a 17-year-old will a) be interested in drinking, drugs, and partying, b) make his life all about school aside from the aforementioned, and c) not have a job. Just because a lot of people do live lives like that, doesn't mean everyone does...I know I never did do the partying thing, never have felt like I missed anything, and I've had a job of some sort since I was 10 and full-time since I was 14.Yes, you'll certainly not get me to argue that it is the most common scenario throughout the US, at least...I can't speak for anywhere else...though there are exceptions to every rule. About 80% of the people I know between the ages of 16 and 25 ARE all about beer, partying, drugs, and themselves...but to lump the other 20% in as being the same because of their chronological age would be a mistake, in my opinion.
I'm guessing I'm preaching to the choir here, though, considering the age difference you mentioned between yourself and your significant other too. As my husband likes to say, if I acted anything like the majority of women my age, we would certainly not be together and he likely wouldn't even be able to enjoy my company. Two of his daughters are about the same age as me, but he's stated that he knows many women 40 and older who act more like them...it's all in the individual.
