You're an adult in a legal sense. I wouldn't suggest trying to jump into a relationship with a man that much older than you when you're only 18. Don't be in such a rush to grow up.
I still haven't gotten any impression from you not to support your relationship with your "boss", OP. As for the age difference, I'm even older than your heartthrob and I'm with a partner "around" the same age as you. Seriously, age ain't nothing but a number, and Aaliyah(R.I.P.) even sang about that. The world today somehow wants to regulate even love, but I disagree with that. If you two are mutually attracted to each other, then why would it make sense to give up on that potential? I wish you all the best Bonita.
Good point. OP, idk. I've always been into men older than me, so I get where you're coming from. I agree, "age ain't nothin' but a number." I also think a teenager (in most cases...) doesn't have the life experience to be taking on a 31 year old man and his kid.
Just to put the age gap into perspective, dad is 31. Babysitter is 18. Child is eight. If babysitter pursued a younger person with the same age gap, she'd be going after a 5-year-old.
Couples with WAY bigger age differences MARRY all the time, just to offer my own opinion on the matter.
