stunningly, sometimes 2 people from different social circles meet and are attracted to one another. The age difference is not a hard and fast rule, it's an indicator that pops up in this thread all the time as it is such an indicator of immaturity.

However I have met plenty of people in my life that have perfectly normal relationships with age differences. Once you get out of college, the difference is not as stark, as now you can have people whose goals mesh. Some people want to start a family ASAP out of college, others want to wait till their 30s and develop their careers. If a 31 year old meets a 22 year old that wants to settle down already, and they are ready to settle down, there is no reason that is 100% not going to work. It's something to be aware of, not a law that must be followed.

they were in the same demographic of "looking to gently caress people on tinder". I dunno how you personally use tinder but everyone I've ever known who has touched the app just swipes through all their daily options for anyone they find attractive and then sorts out the matches later. Apparently they found him to be one of the more attractive matches they ended up with (and vice versa), they hosed.

That's not really how I date either so I just don't use tinder, for people who just wanna have some casual fun while they're single tho it's there and there's nothing wrong with using it. Apparently he can date within his own demographic, cause the lady freaking out about his past sexual encounters is around his age.

at this point I'm pretty sure half this thread is nowhere near neurotypical enough to grasp the idea of observing a trend without codifying it into invariable law

I swear to god I'm not searching for these, they are just coming up with my search keyword
I [19 M] feel like there's a connection between me and my friend's sister [16 F] but I don't know how her parents would react.

quote:

She's made a few comments in the past to mutual friends suggesting that she might be interested in me, as well as me noticing some signs when we've spent time together in familial happenings, but I'm not sure how her parents would react if I were to ask her out a) because of the age gap and b) because of her and her family being friends for 11 years.
No tl;dr here, but what would you do if you were in my situation?
Edit: I should mention I don't personally think she's too young for me and as I understand it she feels the same way. The only concern is if her parents do. Personally, I'm far from mature for my age, and she's generally more mature than most 16 year olds I've met. Should also state that I'm in the UK and the age of consent is 16 here unless you're in a position of trust to them (i.e. guardian/teacher). Even if it weren't legal and the age of consent were 18 I'd be happy to maintain a platonic relationship until she turned 18.
Edit 2: Christ, I hope you guys realise you're downvoting a throwaway. Too many of you people are making the 19/16 age gap seem bigger than it actually is.

here I was thinking the dream of drawing a comfortable living purely from abusing children had died with the Dickensian orphanages

isn't the same couple that forged their custody papers and told the kids their biomom had ditched them because she didn't love them anymore

Honestly the second one sounds like the million other cases I encountered of seniors dating freshmen. Was it kind of weird? Sure but it was also highschool.

Why are dullards so fixated on the idea that physical age has anything to do with emotional maturity? As sheltered perma-children you'd think we'd all realized by now that it's what you learn in your time, not how much you have, that levels your Adultyhood ranking to Max.

The issue is that teenagers are in the Dunning-Kruger bracket of emotional maturity: you're a weird hormonal mess but you think you're a well-adjusted adult. This fixes itself for most people somewhere around mid-20s.

thats what the abusive manipulative parents are saying to make their monstrosity seem less evil but you absolutely do not ever purposely cause your children to cry and freak out. you can't destroy your child's trust and love and then get it back by claiming "it's just a prank bro". that's not how it works

Let's pretend the kids are "in on it." let's assume that, much like professional wrestling, the circumstances are faked but the physical damage, which we can see in the videos, is real.
