Do you regret not dating jailbait when you were jailbait?

I was busy with school work and housework and bullies and I forgot, to ask anyone out until prom.

Huh?

Not really sure what you’re asking, so I’ll answer the few things this might mean.

Yes, I do regret not having an active social life, dating in high school. There was a very nice, smart, cute boy who said he loved me, and I shut him down because he didn’t go to church. Still kicking myself.

No, I don’t regret not dating older men before I was of legal age. I started dating my husband when I was twenty and he was thirty-five. That was complicated enough.

Jailbait was interested in older men when I was jailbait. Jailbait now whispers incredibly filthy stuff in my ear and I try to ignore it because female friends of mine will never forgive me.

Well, for 12 days in August of ‘09, I was 17 and my boyfriend was 18. Pretty scandalous…

@DominicX I too was romantically involved in high school with someone less than a year younger than me. I wonder how much age difference needs to separate two kids so one doesn’t technically become a rapist the day they turn 18. It seems pretty absurd to say the act they were engaged in yesterday was legal, but because one had a birthday and the other didn’t, it’s not a serious felony. I know what age of consent laws were intended to prevent, and agree with that goal. But it seems there need to be some exceptions where relations begin before either person has reached the age of majority.

I was scandalously involved with a 20 yr. old guy when I was 16.
We hooked up again when I was 44 and he was 48. Oooh baby…best sex of my life, before barely legal and certainly long after. lol

No way. My first girlfriend was 19 when I was all of 15, and I loved it. I found people my own age to be too immature for the most part. I was always one of those 14 going on 40 type kids anyway, so my non-romantic friends were usually older than me as well, usually 20–25.
(I fucking hated teenagers, basically.)
