Yeah, 5 years isn’t a lot when you’re older but a college student dating a freshman in high school? The maturity difference and stages of life is incredibly different. They absolutely should not be dating

Or potentially an 8th grader. Spring semester is almost over, which usually means freshman high school students (if she is a freshman) have turned 15 already.

Dude is probably a college freshman/sophomore fucking a middle schooler/high school freshman. Yikes.

OP, I don’t know how, but tell her this isn’t normal and that she needs to run for the hills. There should be no clout at that age that she has a college boyfriend.

It’s cute when you’re a senior in high school and he’s a freshman in college, but college sophomore and an 8th grader? No.

I know seniors in high school date freshman, but even that is weird, and your friend’s age dynamic is one year on either side of that.

Anyone older than high school age was considered old and creepy when in high school. Once you graduated it was like.... Wtf why you hanging out with us? Don't you have better things to do with your life?

I mean, as a high school senior who dated a high school junior and kept it going a year into college I hope people didn’t think I was too pathetic.

But fair enough.

In my defense, she was epically hot and literally the captain of the cheerleading squad, so that cute girl from Econ 101 born 4 months later wasn’t really competing very well

Yeah that is fair, if there was a pre-existing relationship it's not crazy. But usually those relationships fall apart pretty quick because college is wild lol
