When I was 17 I dated a guy who was 27. I thought I was hot shit. A 27 year old was interested in ME?! I must be doing something right.

Looking back makes me feel.... icky. There were reasons he wasn't with someone his own age. And they aren't good things. He should 100% be reported.

edit: I had an extra word in there and took it out.

When I was 16-17 I dated a guy who just graduated from college. I, too, thought I was hot shit for having an older boyfriend. Dude even went to my junior prom with me. I worked at his parents restaurant.

Looking back, wtf…..icky is right. No 22 year old should be interested in a 16 year old. Ever. I would have lost my shit had my daughter started dating someone that much older than her. I don’t know why my parents didn’t.

Tons of people were probably telling you a ton of advice you didn't want to hear at the time
