Judes Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi, I'm not going to tell a long story here. Just going straight into it because it's such a big secret and I can't hold it any longer! I'm a 24 yr old female and I am having this crush for a 17 yr old boy. 7 years apart.. Is that weird? Link to post Share on other sites
Arabess Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Maybe not wierd....but quite illegal. I think you should refrain from moving on your feelings till he is at least 18. I don't consider 17 as being a little boy....but definately under age. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 It's not weird at all. Something happened to you at an early age to freeze you emotionally. For reasons only you or your counsellor (if you have one) would know, you are attracted to younger people. It's OK to be attracted to them but when you mess around with minors under the age of 18 you have to be prepared to go to jail. Even if you don't have sex with them, a lady your age simply kissing a minor can get you a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in most jurisdictions. Try to keep your desires in check in this regard. I suggest you work with a therapist in clearing up your issues so you can seek out more men your own age. It would be in your best interests for many reasons. Later in life, an age difference of seven years will be meaningless but when it involves someone 24 and another 17 it's not a good thing at all.

Darkangelism Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 too young, he would prolly brag about being with a 24 yr old. Link to post Share on other sites
Judes Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I have been thinking about it myself - why this particular interest in younger men. I think I have the answer. I have been with girls when I was in my teenage years and have been missing out on dating men then. So now I'm sorta "going back" and looking at what I have been missing out. Also, probably, younger men makes me feel young and they don't seem to be so caught up with the material world. I am feeling weird just saying it here. But lately, I noticed that he has been SMSing more stuffs (like why would a teenage guy bother messaging a mid-20s woman) and from my theory that it is nearly 99% not possible for a guy and girl to have platonic friendships, I think something fishy is going on with him too. Okay, I understand there are too many CONs in dating younger men (esp. one that's still in the teens)... that's why I am embarrassed to even tell my friends about it.

Darkangelism Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 It is possible to have a platonic relationship, just not likely, any 17 yr old, thinks with his alternate head, maybe a 19-20 yr old guy, could have a platonic with a 24 yr old...i know its possible i have one with a 27 year old. and im 20 Link to post Share on other sites
