*hugs* In a few years, the age difference won't even matter. Are you sure this person wouldn't return your feelings?

(Anonymous) 2012-03-08 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know any 16 year-olds but I'm 26. This is what I'd consider if a 16 year-old really asked me out:

- Can you wait until you're legal? Our laws are very tough on pedophiles and put complete trust on the minor. Kids are smart enough to abuse this to ruin an innocent person's life. I wouldn't dismiss their feelings but need to make sure I'm covered. So it's best to either hide it until you reach 18, or make it clear that you can wait and are able to let go if I end up with someone else before then.

Once you are legal and still have feelings for me,

- Can you settle down with me? Personally, I'd like to marry before I turn 30.
- Are you capable of settling down? I understand you'd be barely out of high school, so you need to make an extra effort to show me you're capable of making a decent living on your own, or getting an education that enables you to do that a few years down the road. I'd like to own a house with my SO. Both of us will contribute to the mortgage.
- Do you know how to behave in a relationship, or will you take advantage of our age difference to get me to baby you just because I'm supposed to be more mature?
- Would we enjoy sex with each other?

Those would be my first concerns, among many others.

I was going to say, "At least you know it'll never happen, not like those dumb Hope/Lightning fans," then I see the comment above and I die a little inside. Kind of laughing, too. Like, a lot.

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER BUT LOVE IS ETERNAL, RIGHT?

PS: Meant the first comment, not the one that makes complete, utter sense directly above.

...Wow, you're kind of a jerk.

There's a difference between "shipping it" and "thinking that they will be 100% canon" at some point.
I mean, Square Enix gave us Final Fantasy XIII-2 and a GROWN UP Hope, while Lightning is basically still the same age. If that isn't fan service, I don't know what is.

And Age IS just a number. I know a lot of couples who are now both over the age of 18, but have ten or sometimes even more than ten years between them. It can work.

I don't know what to do.

First, you can try to think about how creeped out your friend would feel if some sixteen-year-old told her that he had a mother complex for her. Second, you can try to think about how your friend's friends and family might be totally creeped out if she actually did decide to date a sixteen-year-old.

It's an adorable little crush you have there, but I would back off until you get over it.

EDITED to say that I'm sorry if I incorrectly assumed that the OP is a dude and the friend is a lady. Still, no matter what the genders, the relationship would still be problematic.
