just be careful. for what i have seen.. much older men that have relationships with girls before they are women only want to use the girl for sex or to boost their self esteem. with that being said, my boyfriend is 15 years older than me. we are a perfect match, but i had to go through a LOT of horrible relationships with guys of all different ages. i did get "used" by a creepy guy when i was 23.. he lied about EVERYTHING... including his age. he turned out to be 38 not 33.. and a teenage boy molester. just be careful.. DON'T IGNORE YOUR GUT FEELINGS.. especially if you feel something is not right. i always hate when i see threads like this.. then a little while later a new thread about the same couple, but the guy has turned out to be a huge creep.
Have you been with anyone else? What sort of chap is he? What do you hope for being with him? Have you asked him the same? How do you feel about yourself?
hahaha,, who wouldnt love a girl 20 year younger...:smilielol5: , the reason that u cant be seen together is that he would be arrested :cheers2:
Let me first explain my feelings that it is not a good idea to bone someone under 18 years old regardless of the situation. I do not think at under 18 years old that it is healthy psychologically and emotionally. I hope I made that clear. That being said, you people do realize she is living in Puerto Rico? Different countries have different ways of looking at things than we do in the USA. In Puerto Rico- The legal age of consent for sexual activity is fourteen (14) years. Now before some asshole asks me for a link, all you need to do is go to Google and type -Age of Consent in Puerto Rico. It is right there clear as can be from the Government of Puerto Rico. I did not make the law but that is the way it is. The whole world does not follow the laws of the U.S.A. Do not hate me for pointing out the facts. In fact if you are interested in the age of consent in various countries go to http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm You might be surprised at some of them
Yes, taking that into account, I still say it is a bad idea solely based on the student - faculty thing. She would be best served by waiting until she gets out of the school, and then she can reassess her feelings at that time.
I totally agree. The faculty member should be fired. As I said: Let me first explain my feelings that it is not a good idea to bone someone under 18 years old regardless of the situation. I do not think at under 18 years old that it is healthy psychologically and emotionally. I hope I made that clear.
Crystal. I just wanted to comment because you brought up a valid point. I'm not as hardline about "18" necessarily, although in the US I am because that is law. I think a person's capacity to understand the impact of having sex will vary based on many factors that go beyond the day they turn 18. But I feel 18 (at least in the US) is a good age to base the laws here on. In fact I'm not so sure that 21 wouldn't be better, because of the wrecklessness of the general "college" population, but I digress. I also don't want to turn this thread into another big arguement about when a "child" is mature enough to become a "consenting adult"... :cheers2:
Not much left to be said here. If the guy is really into you and wants to expand the relationship for other reasons beyond sex then he would be willing to wait for several reasons. His job for starters. Age not being the factor most schools and colleges have internal rules regulating issues of staff and student. Second to avoid issues of any possible legal issues. If its love then love can be tough and if its love then its worth the very short wait.
20 year difference is huge for your age. You're still developing. I am glad you are happy about this man but I get the creeps over any older man going after the likes of a teenager. To me, its just wrong.
