I accidentally hit on an underage girl. Does this happen to guys or am I a pedophile?

[dpy87]

I apologized and immediately stopped. Girl just laughed and said its ok. I most certainly don't go looking for younger women. It was just an accident.

Totally normal. Just be careful

No thats sus

The age of consent is usually low. It seems hard to miss it accidentally.
What is the age of consent where you live?

Of course, if you want to take a nude picture or worse, it is not just the age of consent you need then...

So how old is she and what were you about to do?

[SnakeBoop]

If you then find out and stop, you're not.
It's when you keep going after finding out that makes you a predator...

[007kingifrit]

incorrect either way. if she has had her first period its not pedophilia no matter what

[SnakeBoop]

... erm no but alrighty troll.

Prepare to join Prince Andrew in a civil lawsuit, bucko! You went fucked up big time!

That's what you wanted to hear, right?

[rjroy3]

Na. Some young girls look older, and try to look older. Several that look cute too. Just off limits. You're good

[kespethdude]

Let's look at it this way. If there is no possible way you would have known she was underage at first, and you back off, you should be fine. But if there IS a way to know prior, you're fucked (as you should be in this case).

A pedophile is someone who's attracted to biological children, not LEGAL children- prepubescents, in other words. You're fine.

[007kingifrit]

pedophilia is defined as attraction to prepubescence. if she had boobs you're not a pedo even if you knew. that's just not what the term means

*Sigh* try to hit women on your own range. Nothing good comes from over 5 year difference for the majority of us.

[andreasderjuengere]

Just don't make a career.
In 30 or so years she may want to sue you for this :D

[ToastyOats]

You betta watch yo self boy, we don't take kindly to young men hittin' on our 17 years old round hyea.

[MIJ0PAPl]

How old is she? You didn't know so you didn't do anything wrong.

[Anonymous]

Its normal, plenty of 15 year old girls out there with adult-looking bodies

[Anonymous]

It will happen from time to time. As long as you don't do anything with her and stop pursuing her when you learned about her age. You should be fine.

[Anno2]

This shit must happen to dwarfs all the time

[REDHOTLINE]

It was only accident. No problem

[Hellams032]

Totally normal. Just be careful

[anylolone]

No idea.

[Anonymous]

What was her age?

[Opinion Owner]

This is why I advice you to hit on age appropriate women you are 33 so your age range should be from 28 to 38 . It is still creepy even though law don't protect them

[007kingifrit]

that's an excuse older women use cuz they are mad they are less desirable
