[QUOTE]Originally posted by faifai: [QB] Honestly, my immediate reaction was "whoa." He's 16 years older than you/twice your age, and you really can't say that there won't be major differences as to where you are in your lives. The power imbalance between people who have such a large age gap can also be a huge deal. Obviously you know this, because you haven't told your parents because they wouldn't approve. How are you dating if you say you need your mom's permission but they don't know? I find it a little strange that you've known him "forever" and that when you were "little," you helped him through a really hard break up. If you've known him for even 4 years, you'd only be 12 and he'd be 28. That's a situation that really doesn't sound normal - your average 28 year old is generally not on level terms with a 12 year old child, even if you were precocious. However, most people don't think of 12 as "little". If you were even younger than that, it gets progressively more questionable that someone his age would need help from someone your age. How did you meet him and how long ago? Lastly, we don't know your location, but the age of consent in much of the US is 18. If you're engaging in sexual activity with this man, you could be putting yourselves at risk for having him labeled a sex offender. Looking into such laws would be wise before you do anything if you haven't already. [/QB][/QUOTE]
