I’m an adult - 27 years old - and I met an amazing girl this past weekend. The problem: she’s 16.
There’s obviously a lot more to this story, but at risk of giving out too much personal information we met each other at a neutral event and hit it off. She ended up adding me on facebook the next day (we shared a common Facebook friend that was at the event with us), and then we ended up talking on the phone for a while and later hanging out, which ended up with hand-holding and feeling a lot more like a date than a hang-out.
Though she looks 16, she just blew me away with her maturity, humor, and candor - the total Juno effect, and then some. Precocious doesn’t even begin to touch it based on our first and following conversations. I can honestly say that she’s more intelligent, mature, and adult than any woman I’ve dated in my age range, and she frankly puts them to shame.
I know that there are any number of issues at work here, our legal/age difference actually being the least of them. I mean, HOW can a working adult man who otherwise passes in polite society have a teenage girlfriend?
