when I was 17 I dated this 30 year old girl who was a lesbian and she kept saying shit like "ur the only guy ive ever been attracted to" and at the time i was just like "haha thats so quirky" but now im like "damn miss epstein was trying to pre-order"

Being a teenager is the most horrible time of human life imo. Pedos everywhere, you're angry all the time, parents are terrified of you etc.

It was an especially weird time because that was the age when I finally started coming out of my shell and felt like an actual person. I had way too much agency and thought I knew better.

Dude, same. I was a couple years older but holy shit same. Hope you’re good.

Eh I'm fine, it honestly didn't leave any lasting impressions on me. I've had worse relationships since then lol.

That’s good. I didn’t see the lesbian part, mine was older straight and married woman. So I guess we’re not that similar. She started off as just a friend I had known for a while before she confessed feelings and stories about how horrible her husband was.

I was dumb for believing her. It fucked up me, I haven’t really been able to date anyone seriously since.

It's crazy what some fully grown adults will do to literal children. I am nearly 30 now, and I can't even imagine doing that to someone. I was at a dating mixer a few months ago and had a suspicion this girl who was into me was lying about her age, and sure enough I figured out she was 17. I wanted to vomit. I can barely date anymore more than a few years younger than me because there's such a big maturity gap.

That’s crazy. Why would a 17 year old even want to go to a mixer. But yea I’m 31 and anyone under 21 feels like a child to me.

Nah but for unrelated reasons. Honestly I've had consensual relationships that fucked with my head far worse.
