[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Okay, am I "robbing the cradle"? (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 1/5/2006 3:47:36 PM EDT

I got some text messages from a girl that I was a councilor to at church camp a few years back. Expressed an interest in going on a date. However, she's a senior in high school. She's cute, sweet, and pretty. Fadedsun is a Sophomore in College.

HELL NO! You aint robbing the cradle.

All your doing is getting to her before some zit-face, garlic-breath, snot-nosed punk can.

Go git it!

But bro. Serious. Don't bother with that. Sure the body is prime but the brain is VERY under-developed. If you can handle the young brain, well more power to ya.

Senior in high school and sophmore in college is no problem age-wise (unless you are back in college after a 20-year career in something else)

The only thing that even tingled my red flag was that you were a councilor (sp?) to her in a camp. While you are no longer in a relationship like that, it might be a little iffy - but that's a bit of a stretch. Then again, I know several professors that are happily married to former students, so I guess it doesn't have to be a problem.

That makes her about 17 and you are about 19?
Only two years of difference so no big deal... go for it.

BTW my wife is 7 years younger than me

What brings up warning flags is the possibility that she might not be ready for a real relationship. I've got 3 years on her-I'm 20, she's 17. I'm pretty sure she could use a more mature guy in her life than the morons she's dated.

Yeah, I need some naked pictures of her for evaluation. A video of her stripping may yield even sooner results.

Seriously, if she's 18 and you're under 24 I think it's acceptable.

If she's mentally mature enough to be a booty-call chick, then go for it. You certainly don't want to be getting into a relationship with a girl that young. Do you really want to be going to her Prom?

Check it out carefully. Stalkers aren't fun.

Now looking back it is amazing how much I didn't know when I was 20

If she's in the habit of dating morons, you'll want to stay away from her.

What are you talking about? At that age her mind is susceptible to all sorts of suggestion.

If she is still in high school and you're not, nothing but trouble.

When I was 18 I had a reversed situation.
I was a freshman in University and she was senior.
I was 18 but she was 31

It was fun while it lasted

Just ensure she is 18 +1 Month. That way it's legal.

I met my wife when I was 20, she was 17. When we were married, I was 22 and she was almost 19. We've been married a long time and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

You have to know if you are emotionally mature enough to handle marriage, if you take it that far. Other than putting a ring on her finger down on the isle, what's the problem? There isn't the same commitment as getting married. If you want a serious relationship and think you are ready, go for it. You can aways learn from it and can always part ways if it doesn't work out. If you get married, I personally, would suggest taking it WAY more seriously. Dating and getting serious is a lot different than when you are married.

Just go out with the girl, you have no idea what could happen. You might enjoy her company.

No. Only what, 3 years difference?

She'll be the cool chick who's dating a college guy.

I don't have a problem going to her prom. I've been the prom date of many freshman HS girls before.

I've also dealt with stalkers before. Fun.

My wife's 7 years younger than me.

We've been together 8 years so far.

I couldn't be happier.

Your worried about a 3 year age gap ?

Thank you ,please drive through.

Posted: 1/5/2006 5:40:19 PM EDT

[#46]

So she's ONE grade behind you. Unless you've waited FIFTEEN YEARS to get from high school to college, I don't see a problem!

Heck, even 15 years isn't such a bad gap....if she's pretty.

No matter what your age, a three year age gap is NOTHING. And the older you get, the bigger
an age gap can be without a problem.

I'm 40. I'm open to dating any girl between 18 and 45 or so. I like them about 35 best of all.

The five I know (or know of) are all in business schools. Three married MBA students, and two married Ph.D. students. Which I suppose is somewhat less disturbing than undergraduates!
