i want to start...
... by saying in general i have no problems with age-gaps. the happiest couple i know is my dad and his girlfriend and theres 16 years between them...

however, i seem to have a'freak' magnent and past experiances make me doubious of the intentions of older men...

1/ At 16 spend most time at the local arcade as 16 year olds do. Thought nothing of the lovely chappy that managed the place and always found him to be a decent bloke, even if he was an oldie (about late 30's i'd say)
And that was how we ended up just the two of us one evening with the doors locked.
Looking back now he was a groom-er and theres no way he should be working in an under-18's arcarde. give me the creeps just thinking about it. Just because its legal at 16 doesnt not make it right - you got to have some morality judgement somewhere.

2/ okay im mainly to blame but when i was till at school i told a guy i was seeing that i was 18, but in my defence only an idiot would of fallen for that line. He wasnt old-old but at 22 he should of konwn better. We saw eachother for a few months but he tured out to be a little to weird for me... and when 6 months later i find out he was at her majesties pleasure for child sex crimes i tried to reproess all memories of him

And just so i dont sound to depressing... If a friend introduces you to thier older 'friend', check they are infct friends, not (ex)stepson and (ex)stepdad. They found it rather funny. I however did not. Still, we had a good few months together :)
