Even in 'The Graduate', the ending was rather ambiguous.

musiclvr - And WE are taking this entire situation very seriously. I think that you are starting to see that the your situation is considered "way out", by a number of people on this site. We are of varying ages and experience, yet you have not heard one person even consider that this affair might be appropriate.

In the words of Ann Landers, (or was it Dear Abby?), "Wake up and smell the coffee"!

You are playing with fire.

Personally I don't see what you could find attractive in an age group with its pants around its knees and underwear pulled up to compensate. I was at a mini-amusement park over the weekend and saw exactly one attractive female, with class and some fashion sense (and no tattoos), and she was about my age.

Actually I understand how serious it is and that everyone is against it. I honestly don't have a problem with that at all. I just see that the majority of the attitudes appear to be centered around the assumption that sex is involved (i.e. Mrs. Robinson and our favorite school teacher Mary Kay). I have not had sex with this kid. Ok..is kissing considered 'sexual contact'? I honestly did not think so, but I have no problem admitting if I'm wrong. Anyway...I appreciate all the responses, helpful or not Smile

I think kissing is considered "sexual contact", yes.

Think about it this way -- you are working in an office, and your boss, who you don't like, corners you in the elevators and kisses you. Would you call this sexual harrassment?

Actually he doesn't wear his pants like that but that's completely irrelevant. It is not merely a physical attraction as some would think. BUT I know it matters not at this point.

In the mind of a 17 year old, kissing would be considered, let's say, an invatation to sex. You are leading him on because you are conflicted. You have to make the decision regarding what you are going to do. You are the one in the position of power here. Make your decision, for better or most likely worse.

Don't assume that I assume you will make the wrong decision. Otherwise, you would not be asking the question. :wink:

i'm stunned.

i think you should not be trying to justify any of this mess. he's a young kid. when 18, he'll still be a young kid.

AND if this were MY young kid, and i found out you were on to him, i'd walk over to your trailer...and put gum in your hair.

Believe me if I've gotten nothing else from this it's the 'NO TOUCHING' part! I didn't consider that kissing fell into the 'sexual contact' category..i really didn't Confused

Oh yeah. Moving across a state line is a good idea. Make it a possible federal issue.


ehbeth, I was just joking. Razz

I agree with the others. I don't why someone her age is worried "if kissing is legal." I would think the question should be "how do I stop this relationship a.s.a.p." I don't think just because he hypothetically has a birthday tomorrow makes a difference.

Let us say for the sake of argument that there is no sexual contact. But there IS emotional manipulation. YOU are in a position of power. He is not.

So, what is the attraction? I mean, his life experiences are not your life experiences. He hasn't lived very much yet, probably not on his own holding down a job and paying his own bills, making his way in the world (as I would assume you have.) He probably hasn't read the same books you have (unless you aren't fond of literature, or he is an exceptionally precocious reader.) He hasn't participated in any national elections. Do you share common interests? What are those (besides kissing, since you mentioned that one. Confused)

That is my main burr: the disproportionate age/life experiences... Suppose you were interested the other way... 42/17 is, um... 2.47 and some change... So, instead of you being interested in someone 2.47 times younger than you are, suppose it were a person 2.47 times older than you... He would be, um, lemme see... nearly 104 years old... Now, let's suppose that he were interested in someone 2.47 times younger than himself... that would be 0.40476... um, if the object of your soulmate's affection were a young thing of 6.88 years old, would you be ok with him kissing her the way he kisses/ed you? No, of course not. Why? Because the disproportion between the ages and the life experiences which accompany age...

Yes, kissing is sexual contact and I'd be very careful. I'm not judging you by any means, but I'd hate to see you get in serious trouble.
