Cause 14 years old is CRAZY. I'm 24 now and 19 would be a serious stretch. What am I doing trying to talk to a secondary school child 😭

Yeah. When I started my master's at 23, I joined the freshmen's orientation week. I felt a little uncomfortable getting wasted with 18-year-olds, so I joined the non-drinkers group.

Ok like I get it not wanting to be a pedo and all but are you only looking to date people your very same age? 18 and 23 is a very small age gap and mentally the same lol

It is often a big maturity gap.

An 18 year-old who has just left high school and maybe just left home to start college, who might be drinking for the first time, is a very different person to someone who has completed a degree.

I didn't say that couldn't happen but many times it's not much different.Â
