[quote=Anonymous]When I was a 17/18 year old senior I dated a 28 year old man.We had sex. Turns out he was on a break from his long term girlfriend who he ended marrying around age 30 and later had 2 kids with. Things just drifted apart at the end of my senior year and I went on to college and dated a guy my own age.  I honestly came through the entire thing pretty unscathed--I think because emotionally i knew it was temporary as I was leaving for college so I never allowed myself to get too attached.  In my mind I was moving on to bigger and better things the next year (moving away from home).  In fact, I have quite fond memories of sneaking around with him. He was hot, rich (in my mind) and it was a giant ego boost for an 17/18 year old.  We would go to hotels out-of-town. It was pretty darn exciting.  
Now that I have a 16 year old I wouldn't be thrilled if she did the same and I'd wonder what was wrong with the guy but I can testify that it really did me no harm to be the child in this situation.  [/quote]
