KnightofChrist Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) :| No comment. I'm guessing you have no children. *Nothing* makes a man more attractive to a teenage girl than having "Daddy" say "no." It's a sticky situation. One size does not fit all. No children yep, but I do have a little sister. Some 21 yr old tried to holla at her numerous times when she was 15 my brothers and I informed him what would happen should he continue his pursuit, we never had to worry about him again or any other creeps like him again. Sure not one size fits all and all that stuff. But it's not something I'd put up with, creeps like that aint cool with me and btw my sister got over pretty quick.

theculturewarrior Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) She's 16 and thinks this is "adult" and "cool." That's her rationale, Miles. But he's 22 and should be dating within his own age group. I don't know what would possess a 22-year old man to pursue a teenager, besides the hope of taking advantage of a naive girl. I easily found him through Miles' Facebook. It seems he only made it to middle school and is unemployed. Do I know him, no, but I do question his maturity and his direction in life based on the information I just found. I've known people in my life who are harmless and just don't know the rules, but when an older man actually knocks on the front door, I might reconsider the life of non-violence that I have chosen. This should not be. If he was 18 and she was 16 and they were high school sweethearts maybe I would tolerate it. I would put a stop to this if this was my daughter. I would tell my daughter that I really liked her boyfriend. And we would go fishing. As much as I hate fishing. And her creepy @#$ boyfriend.

theculturewarrior Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) And then drown him in the lake where there are no witnesses? I am peaceful, kind-hearted person. I would probably just make fun of him in a passive aggressive way until he decided to leave on his own.

theculturewarrior Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 PS if you keep putting stuff like that in print, people will think you're a serial killer, and nobody will know you're innocent except the government and your family. :hehe2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="curiousing" data-cid="2526460" data-time="1356197876"><p> I think one makes a rather hasty judgment when one automatically assumes that any 22-year-old dating any 16-year-old must only be in it for the bum. Most men in their early 20s these days are not that mature. (Geez, most men in their THIRTIES these days aren't that mature!) For all we know, he is a totally decent, respectable, and respectful young man who happens to like her for her personality. If you're rolling your eyes right now, you're cynical. Get that fixed. ;-)<br /> <br /> I'm not saying it is definitely the case that he's a great guy who loves her and all. I'm saying you can't possibly know what is the case until you've met the guy.</p></blockquote> That's true. It is possible. But in a case like this I vote guilty until proven innocent. Anyone 22 year old who wants to date a 16 year old should be viewed critically. I'm not saying to refuse to let him prove himself. If he's a good guy then he'll rise to that challenge. But chances are that he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But chances are that he won't. Thank you. A twenty two year old generally has no business dating a sixteen year old, especially since he's from frickin' New Jersey and has probably not lived in her town that long, so no one knows his life story except for what he tells them. I am praying this is a joke and I will believe it is until proven guilty, but as for this guy, he is guilty until proven innocent in my eyes. And when the floopy did we start agreeing with each other on these things? Slowly you are Hasan-izing me post by post. Soon I will contemplate majoring in math and I will volunteer to work with a democrat campaign... Did you ever end up talking to her? And that alarms me. My Confirmation sponsor is 7 years older than her husband, but they started dating WAY into adulthood, so it's different. I'm curious to know if her parents know... No, I didn't. We haven't spoken to each other since the phone call since she is with her sister right now. I decided to call off the phone call because I realized there was really nothing to apologize about. She had been dating for four days when I found out. How was I supposed to know? My father is seven years older than my mother, but they started dating when she was twenty three and he was thirty. That is completely different than being twenty two and sixteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 rotfl Miles, it's good to see your sense of humor. (Don't let it get to you....) I appear furious in my first post, but I really wasn't. My version of "furious" is me feeling kind of angry but smiling and making jokes about it. It just doesn't come off that way through text is all (After all, you can't say something like "What the floopy is she thinking?!?!? Hahahaha!"). I honestly do not get angry much, and when I do it's very mild, but this is one of those times where I got into my version of angry, and I believe it was justified. I care about her and I am concerned about this entire situation. And as for the question of "Do her parents know?", her sister knows, and knowing Gina, if she knows, her parents do too. Gina is at least mildly level-headed so I cannot imagine she is okay with this, and I hope to God she is expressing concern. I at least hope her fiance is intervening (He is really close to Emily, so he would be able to, unlike me). CAUSE YOU LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE HER. :hehe2: If he was some guy from her high school I would be okay with it. But he's not. He is statistically a creepy guy from New Jersey that didn't finish high school and has no job who now lives in Kansas for God knows what reason, and is pursuing a sixteen year old girl.
