Current Events > Could you date a girl who you knew as a kid when you weren't

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like, say you knew her when she was 10 and you were 17. Fast forward ten years, she's 20 and you're 27, would you date her if she started becoming interested in you?

I mean I COULD. I don't have a problem with it. But I don't think I'd be interested. Maybe if she was 30 and I'm 47.

it would depend on the relationship, I think.

like, if she was basically someone I considered a younger cousin or niece, then probably not, but if she was someone I didn't really interact with, then maybe.

Depends. If it was like my little sister's friend that I didn't interact with much then sure. Otherwise I'd view her as more of a little sister.

Seriously, seriously. Doubt it. Can't imagine that at all frankly.

Sure. If we both liked each other.

My fiancee is 10 years older than me. I think I met her when I was 27 originally.

It might be a little weird if I had met her when I was 10, but not I think a deal breaker.

One of my exs little sisters apparently moved to my city and popped up on a people you might know thing. It honestly creeped me the fuck out.

I remember her as a little kid, not some 20 something covered in tattoos.

She looked totally CEs type though.

I'm in my 40s, that age gap wouldn't matter at all now.

No. I don't like girls being so much younger than me. The perfect age for me is my age to a couple years older. I'd go down maybe 4 or 5 years if the girl was spectacular or something, but no more than that really. And I'm 31. I cannot imagine dating a college aged girl.

Generally speaking, I don't think I'd have a problem with that age gap, or the fact that I knew her as a kid.

But I still wouldn't see her as a potential partner at 20 years old. Like with my best friend's little sister, I've known her since she was 10 and she was annoying as hell. So for a long time I just saw her as an annoying little sister. Now though, she's 30 and honestly kind of cute.

nah fam dats creepy

Nope. Rather Im a good or bad mentor can be up for debate, but I always get in that headspace when it comes to people significantly younger than me. I don't force my views on them, but I express my views to them to see if they find anything I theorize valuable while seeing them as still being more innocent than me. Rather they are or not, that's how I process it. I show them the respect of an adult, but I'll always see them as a child. It gets imprinted and becomes unmovable

Before you even think about asking me that, why would anyone ever want to date me?
