[quote=Anonymous]When I was 17, my boyfriend was 27. At the time, like you, I didn’t feel negatively about it - felt very mature and felt that I was just as mature as him. We got together midway through my senior year after I was dumped by my first love, and it was totally a rebound thing. I didn’t even like him that much and we had almost nothing in common. But he was super sexy and I liked that he wanted me and that I got to be grown up. There were aspects that were not good, such as being unable to take my boyfriend to my prom (or having him give a damn about my prom), but mostly I was hurting and he made me feel better.

In retrospect, I feel suspicious of a nearly 30yo who wants to be with a high school girl. I would assume he was immature and in the case of my boyfriend, that was probably true. I knew that when I was 17 too. I just didn’t care then. I wonder what my mom thought. She’d basically accepted that I was moving out in a couple months and never told me not to see him or anything. My dad didn’t even know.

That said, I’m happily married to someone who is 8 years older than me, and occasionally I freak him out by reminding him that I was in 4th grade when he was a senior etc. I don’t think we are all that different but we definitely would have been when I was 17 and he was 25. [/quote]
