Do You Think It’s Okay For Older Guy’s 35+ To Be Dating Legal Teenagers 18/19 ?

[Salty80]

Or it’s not good idea?

[youngmafbog]

Well look at Macron. If its ok for the woman then its ok for the bloke.

This thread has reminded me of a happening many, many years ago.

MrG wanted a jacket so we went to Stamford. Stamford has some very snooty Men's Outfitters...we ended up in the snootiest. First and only time.
MrG found a jacket he liked and asked me if I liked it. I said yes...well anything to get out.
The outfitter....daren't call him a salesman said...There you are sir. If your daughter likes it your wife is sure to like it too.
I replied...I'm not his daughter. I'm his mistress and his wife will really hate the jacket.
Don't know who looked more uncomfortable....MrG or the...salesman.

May have posted this before....but hey. :-)

Why do you ask, unless you don’t think it’s ok??

[rowanwitch]

I was sometimes mistaken for Redman's daughter, always corrected them with 'he's my lover'

[Canary42]

Addressing me, a waiter once referred to my Mum as "Your good lady wife".

Have you seen my question , in food and drink ?

Please have a look

[Hazlinny]

If the people involved are happy, then surely it must be OK. I know two couples where husband is quite a bit older than his wife and, to be truthful, they seem to be much happier than same age (or around) couples. I remember how Barbara Windsor and husband, Scott, always looked happy and very much in love and she was 25 years older than him.

Depends on the maturity, not the age. At 18 and 19 I was far more comfortable and found older guys much more interesting to date. I never liked boys of my own age. Married someone of my own age but with maturity. Nowadays I have a crush on Sam Ryder. About 40 years my junior!!

Nice work if you can get it.

[gness]

We have quite a lot in common, Rowan. ;-)

[rowanwitch]

I think perhaps we do, except I like short ones, they try harder!

[gness]

And of course you were more familiar than I was with Red's bottom. :-)

[magicbeatledel]

There's no law against it. However, they may not be too popular with the girls parents, or siblings. Whoever it is should tread very carefully. May be more trouble than its worth. Especially, as it probably won't last.

[MissTerious2]

I don't class 17/18 to be that young. My parents had no input into who I dated at that age. That was almost 50 years ago. 35 isn't that old either. I still maintain is maturity that counts, not years. At 18 ì took myself off to work in France!

I think it would be very wrong if he knew the girl when she was little and as she was growing up.

[barry1010]

There was a big age gap between my parents and there is an age gap between me and my wife - both marriages worked out very well.

[MissTerious2]

I think it would be very wrong if he knew the girl when she was little and as she was growing up.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but why Barry?

[barry1010]

MissTerious, there are strict laws about step siblings marrying including the younger must not have been treated as a child of the family.
There is something icky about an older person lusting after someone they treated as a child for years. How long have they been having those sort of feelings, did they switch on overnight when she turned 16, 17? How about when she was 14 or 15?
In my hypothesis, they may not be step siblings but could be a teacher, or close friends with the parents and been called 'uncle' by the children.
It would never cross my mind to think of anyone in that way in those circumstances, someone I become fond of when they were school age or younger.

[MissTerious2]

But it might be somebody who hadn't seen the girl for years . It often happens. The child has developed into an adult and will be seen in a different light. I'm supposing most men that know young girls don't last after them, but when those young girls change to lovely young ladies and are a different person things can change.

[barry1010]

I did say 'knew her as a little girl AND growing up'.
