In the past it was okay for an adult to walk past a group of kids and smile at the group. Then, as he was walking away he said, you kids be safe and he kept on walking. Not in this day and age. There's so much paranoia about pedophiles, that parents rightfully so, drill into their kids heads, that they must never ever accept candy from strangers, accept a ride or, sit and talk to them. It's just the way it is now I can't blame parents.

No, but it happens a lot on this website and rarely is anything much done. Of course, if you challenge it you always get the "Oh, I didn't notice their age, lol" response 🙄

Not okay. Why to rob a minor's innocence?
They should learn, play and actually have meaningful love BY NOT getting influenced by perverts and not being persuaded to follow typical western culture of hookups.

Hell no.

Jean-Marie_Céline · Answer

No, it isn't.  It's never okay under any circumstance.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Kids and married people are OFF LIMITS!

I think this is horrible for any grown adult to flirt with minors but I knew a website that no longer exists and there were teens who came on that site along with adults and it's shame that it lasted as long as it did the name was   but the owner did not put Moderators on that site too but this guy requested to meet who he thought was a minor and he was caught in the State of Georgia and he went to jail for a number of years but a woman police officer arrested him and he lived in the State of Cali

zagor · Answer

Too vague. A 20 year old flirting with a 17 year old isn't offensive. Or illegal, if no attempt to actually procure sex is involved. A 50 year old talking dirty to a 12 year old is another thing.

loveslongnails · Answer

Who are the "some people" pushing it? I don't know any except for the fringe dwelling pervs that get press.

By "grown adults", I'm presuming you mean someone at least in there 30's, flirting with someone who's 14 - 17 ? No, that's not cool at all.

markml · Answer

Mostly no, except when there's a very close age difference. Like someone who is 17 being hit on by someone who is barely an adult (18-20) is probably okay. Especially if it's just flirting.

There also may be situations where you really don't know someone's age. But no mature adult should want to date someone still in high school.

normalice · Answer

Grey area. It can be fine if the adult is mature about it and is only seeking to entertain the minor's grasp of romance through language. But if the adult is in any way seeking to dip into the fresh flesh that's supposed to be reserved for others within that generation, it's a problem.

Emma9123 · Answer

I’ve had adults tell me I look really pretty or my dress looks really pretty. I don’t take it as flirting, maybe more complimenting? It depends on what the example is I guess but I don’t believe everyone has bad intentions, especially just because they’re a guy.

Celtero · Answer

Seems to depend on one's intentions. Eg, an older woman complimenting a teen boy to boost his low self-esteem.

Perhaps you need to reevaluate the definition of "flirt."

First result on google
"behave as though attracted to or trying to attract someone, but for amusement rather than with serious intentions."

Since you girls think flirt means "try to hookup with."

SupremeWarlord · Answer

To be politically correct I would choose "no", but sometimes when it happens it's pretty harmless. I remember when I was 14 and an adult woman said to me "If I were your age I would date you because you're so cute". It can be considered flirting, but it was pretty harmless, I would feel weird to suddenly complain about that.

Still-alive · Answer

do you have anyone on here in mind? yeah its wrong. It shouldn’t happen

humpbackjack · Answer

I accidentally clicked the first one but I definitely do not think it’s ok for grown men to be hitting on teenage girls

fonduegirl · Answer

It's okay so long they don't fuck them. And if they do date them, they should either wait for them to turn in the legal age or check the country's laws pertaining to legal age. Also, it's stupid to date somebody who's twice your age.

Anonymous · Answer

Nope, not okay. The only exception is if they are really close in age. For example 17 and 18. But I'm pretty sure that's not what this is about.

Anonymous · Answer

I’m on the fence about this.
A minor as in a kid or a minor as in 15, 16 or 17?

I think messing with a kid is wrong but someone almost old enough to be an adult? Maybe if they guy is like 18 or early 20s and going out with a teenager, I don’t see a problem with if she’s almost an adult but if the guy is like 30s or up and hitting on a teenager, yeah that would be weird.

CasuallySamsonite · Answer

absolutely not ok, I would say the same for a 22+ year old who hits on an 18 year old. If nothing else it is immature and preditory.

skaterman · Answer

It is never okay because minors do not have enough personal development to protect themselves from the actions of adults that may be damaging to their proper growth and well-being.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

There has to be a line. You can give a compliment, but it has to be something that would be appropriate for their teacher to say in front of their parents. That's my view.

Blackcupcake · Answer

Fuck no, it’s all types of wrong

Tim103 · Answer

Define flirting. Are we talking calling then sexy or light seductive physical contact? Or just complementing their outfit?

ThePolishKnight37 · Answer

Flirting no, but being positive and motivating to them. Making them feel good about themselves, yes.

EaterPeter · Answer

Who do you consider minor? I mean. I mean age range

EmbraceThePain · Answer

I don’t think it’s okay

Anonymous · Answer

in person I'd say nope. Online? Well, that's more challenging because any minor could be a 45 year old fat bald man and any 45 year old fat bald man can become a minor.

Adam_West · Answer

of course it's not okay. dafuq?

888theGreat · Answer

No but liberals think sex with 9 and 10 year olds is ok.

hotbiguy · Answer

Flirting doesn't have to be sexual, it can be funny and it can show them that it's ok to be yourself and make everyone feel happy about being the person they are

blondfrog · Answer

no I think 18 is a bit young for me to be honest

Grond21 · Answer

I think it's perfectly okay if an adult wants to laugh and joke with a minor. But as soon as sexual attention enters the picture, they have crossed a line

Drege01 · Answer

I would rather the innocent be killed than be sexualised

Fuentes · Answer

No its not i wanna fight them

EnglishEuropean · Answer

I think technically that is grooming.

Chiarac2003 · Answer

NO!…it’s wrong and is what predators do.

rachel776 · Answer

from growing up, they do ALL the time

elizamichale1 · Answer

absolutely not

exitseven · Answer

Nope, it never ends well.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

No, I think it irresponsible.

Sambelfast198526 · Answer
