Let the kid have some fun, SYnapse...

If CM is 17/18, it's perfectly legal and not unusual at all.

18 is pushing it.

I'm not just talking about legality. If he is 18 and truly in love with a 14 year old there are other concerns there

Why? They're both in high school.

SYnapse, you are an idiot.

Maybe you should use that "brilliant" but confused and solipsistic mind of yours to do something constructive instead of wasting it trying to... well I am not really sure what positive work you are contributing here.

Conservative Man,
You will want to liberate yourself of the excess energy in your body by doing regular and intensive sports. Personally, I recommend running on inclined terrains such as hills, with a soft soil, which is better for your feet and knees than concrete/asphalt roads. Study hard and seriously. You will become more attractive to this young woman, while wasting less time on her.
Profit.

CM...seriously, how many 14 year olds marry their boyfriend/girlfriend. More to the point, how many 13, 12, 11 year olds marry their boyfriend/girlfriend. She "cheated" on her past boyfriends? No...that's simply ridiculous, because 11, 12, 13 year old's can't (shouldn't!) have relationships so serious that anybody can be considered to have cheated. If I recall correctly, she isn't allowed to even "date" you alone -- so how is she going to "cheat" on anyone when she is never alone with anyone?

Here's the deal...she's 14...she's not supposed to be in "committed" relationships, because she hardly knows who she is herself, let alone what she is looking for in a mate.

Just hang out, have fun, flirt with her....but leave it at that, man. If you are destined to be botyfriend/girlfriend, it will come when it's ready....sounds like you went from "hardly talked" to "I'm in love" in about 2 seconds flat. Cool your jets, Pancho...there's time enough for love when the two of you grow up and figure out who you are.

Dude...how old are you?

I ehm...

I don't know how to put this but...

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH KRELLIN

There. I said it. It's done.

bo you don't think an 18 year old and a 14 year old dating is a bit much? jesus christ we have some potential pedophiles here

redhouse...I recommend gargling with vinegar and giving yourself an enema...the terrible feelings you are currently feeling will be washed from your body.

"I mean, this is a short term relationship. I'm going to college at the end of this school year, so our relationship is going to last 10 months
max."

Aww... True, unconditional love...

*IF* CM is actually 18....then he better stay the fuck away from miss hotty-totty 14 year old. I'm the father of a 14 year old....first, 14 year old girls are batshit crazy and don't know what they like from one day to the next. Two...if you do *anything* to touch that girl, you can count on a visit from Mr Policeman, and then you can enjoy your record as a Sex Offender for the rest of your life, because Daddy *will* prosecute...and your hotty-totty 14 year old will assure you she will never tell...right up until you fight and break up and she tells Daddy everything in tears...

Grow up, CM...find someone your own age. If you are 18, you should be near that girl.

SD: A bit too much for the 14-year-old, yes...

*shouldn't* be near...

Red flag warning signs that CM is fucked up:

“She seemed interested” – should read “she seemed interesting”, more interested in himself than her
“I was really starting to like her of course” – “of course” implying that he would like anybody who reciprocates
“so our relationship is going to last 10 months max. So if she cheats on me, while that would suck, it wouldn't be the end of the world” – beware the logician
“i want a girlfriend too much to throw it away over this” – …
“I've decided I am going to still pursue a relationship” – does she have any say in this?
“I know its not real love, but this is still the only phrase to describe my feelings” – no it’s not. You’re afraid to describe them.

Add this to the prostitute thread where CM was trying to send money for sex (bear in mind he was 15 at the time) and you have a really fucked up individual. Tell your new girlfriend that you tried to pay for sex with a Phillipino woman and see what she says. Better yet, go and speak to her father.

Tl;dr CM is exploiting a younger girl for his gratification, he justifies it through a guise of normal language but the words “love” “relationship” have warped and twisted meanings to him - CM is also borderline narcissistic or at least has a personality disorder

+1 me

I always pictured CM as being 50, maybe 55. If that's the case, I advise you to start a cult and get her to join. Then you can convince her parents that if they don't consent to a marriage, the earth will be consumed in a fiery pogrom by a 60-foot-tall flame-breathing demon-giraffe name Zanphyrithus, Melter of Faces.

Everybody knows cult leaders get all the girls.

^But be forewarned: if you do the above, I'm going to start a rival cult that claims that Xanphyrithus' name is properly spelled with an X, and that he is actually 74 feet tall.

"Death! Death to the z-spellers!" we will chant. For lo, it is the will of Xanphyrithus.

Hello darkness our old friend, he's come to talk to us again......

Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

And CM,
went to jail
for a girl
a young young girl...

If Conservative Man was 15 when he posted in April 2012, then he is either 16 or 17 now. It's still possible that he might graduate aged 18, though.

Didn't CM skip a year or two in high school? He might not be that much older than the slutty 14 year old.

Conservative Man: Don't take that as an endorsement.

"OH CM! When I saw you sitting in the pew listening to the sermon, I didn't know if that was a communion wafer in yoru pocket, or if you were just happy to see me? Wanna see my naked selfie?"

Gotta love horny church girls...

A high schooler dating a high schooler doesn't seem outrageous to me. Four years is a pretty big gap but still within reason in most cases.

18 year old guy going after a 14 year old girl? No...not acceptable.

When I was a kid, Junior High went through 9th grade...so this would have been a Senior in High School going after a junior high girl. He would have been laughed out of school.

Well that's not the case anymore is it krelly...

((Your Age)/2)+7=The Youngest Person You Can Date

Doesn't get much simpler than that.

I think 2WL might be right, so CM could be 16 going on 17 right now. That's not two big of an age difference. There were no freshmen dating juniors when you were in high school?
