Eighteen may be the "legal age" of becoming an "Adult" in some areas but knowing how to act like a responsible, mature Adult (at any age!) is a whole other story.
I remember when I was 24 and I would NEVER think about dating some teen-aged kid.
He's 18-A KID!!!!
What's a 24 year old doing with a teenager?!! The word "Pedophile" comes to mind..... | |

And as unfortunate as it is kids are growing up faster now days.
And when did you becoome an old maid at 24 now?
Yes she did things wrong and is very uncomfortable with it but she's still just a girl too.
But calling her a pedophile???????????? | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 1:48:04 PM | Pedophile?! Wow that is really, out of line there, there is no reason to consider a 24 year old dating a 18 year old a Pedophile. The fact is, there are a lot of factors that come into play when trying to judge if a person is a "adult" or not, some people become much more mature at different ages then others do.
Comments like that are what stopped me from dating that 17 year old when I was 20, because I was afraid people would jump to conclusions right away. I wish I would have now, because she was a really fun person to hang around with. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 1:59:20 PM | Um, yeah...
this was a poorly thought out plan, OP.
I'd write him a note or a letter and send it off, then cease and desist all contact unless he initiates it.
You may not hear from him and so be it. He may be terrified! LOL
Chalk it up to a learning experience. In the future, realize you don't need to be so forward to get someone to like you. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 3:08:16 PM | You have a child?
Does he know that?
Because if he does, I'm sure at the age of 18 he wants to stay as far away from you as possible now that you've made him aware that you're interested. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 3:22:51 PM | | You can't take it back. And if you try to act sorry you're only making it more of a big deal. Get over what you did and don't let it phase you. Maybe you'll connect later, but if not, get over it. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 5:02:49 PM | | I agree with that. I am 22 years old, and I am not really interested in anyone who has any kids at the moment, maybe later down the road, but not right now. If he is like 18, I am sure that is the last thing he would like to think about. | |

How do I let him know, I don't really do that thing to strangers?
Ah, except you really do do that thing to strangers.

Posted: 11/27/2007 2:45:39 AM | | OP men respect women who respect themselves. Throwing yourself at a man shows a lack of self respect, and that IS the biggest turn off, and I'm afraid there's no way back from it. Ignore what your so-called 'friends' say. They are obviously young and not expert yet at relationships, either that or they are purposefully trying to put you into embarrassing situations. You need to figure that one out for yourself and work out if they really are your friends or your enemies. As for the man, I would just appologise to him and forget all about him, because if you do anything else it will only make things worse for you. Put it down to experience, we all make mistakes, and I'm sure if you just let it blow over he will eventually at least be able to be friendly with you again. | |

Posted: 12/2/2007 10:44:51 AM | Ok! I appologized to him. He was less than charming. He said that he lost my phone number. But I just found out that he wrote down his number and gave it to my friend to give to me. But now, I'm the one with the jitters about calling him. I confronted the friends who told me what to say, they said I take things to literal and serious, they were joking. They tell me now!
I have noticed the learning experience, thank you!
And for the record, he knew about my son, before we even met, and he had the initial moves on me. I just thought that perhaps he would bring some fun into my life, not the disgusting stuff, just old fashion fun, and that is what I am aiming for.
thank you all for you input! | |

You may have taken your friends advice too literally or you were set up. Be careful next time. | |
