Search Results: meet the parents 2

So let me give you some context. When I was 16 years old my parents and I drove to the city for a local comic convention going on. I was waking around looking at stuff to buy and getting pictures with people in cool costumes.

Then I saw this girl in an amazing costume from a show I liked, she looked to be about my age. So I asked for a picture with her and she happily accepted. I later posted it on social media and when she saw the picture she messaged me and said it was nice to meet me and eventually we planned to meet up in a group of people at another convention.

That came and went and after getting to know each other better there we decided to hangout just the two of us. So we got coffee someplace a few days later.

That's where we really got to know each other better. Turned out she went to my highschool and we had a lot of similar interests. But I also got the unfortunate news. She was only 14.

Not only was she 14, it would be 9 months before she was 15 where as it would only be 4 months before I was 17. Translation, we had a 2 year 5 month age difference.

I had started growing feelings for her and after considering this for weeks I eventually decided to ask her on a date. I figured that most my friends that were girls were 16 and dating 21 year olds, so our age difference wouldn't be that weird.

I met her parents immediately and explained our situation to make sure they were okay with it and they said they were. As long as we took it slow.

So yes we've taken it slow, but 8 months later I still get comments about how I'm a pedo and going to hell. Am I?

As a 25 year old man, it becomes frustrating to me when I meet women with kids.

At age 28 or older, I would start to expect to see women with kids. That's totally understandable. However... what I don't understand is how there's so many single moms out there, between the ages of 19-25, who already have 1, 2 or three kids. I just don't understand the rush to have kids, nor do I understand why these single parents get mad when people don't want to date them. It was your choice to have a kid, and you made the decision to impact your life/dating life by doing so.

My mom had her first kid at age 16 with one guy (he is now a low level internet preacher)

My mom had her 2nd kid age age 19 with another guy (He has various jobs and has had some mental issues in the past).

When my mom met my dad in her late 20s, they got married and my dad was stuck with 2 kids that weren't even his. My dad slowly began to dislike my moms kids, becauase he said they were very disrespectful. As such, my mom's kids and my dad never really saw eye to eye and he spent a lot of his time having to take care of them and then he kicked them out when they turned 18.

And now... 20 years later, my older brother (my moms kid) has moved back in with my parents and temporarily my dad is working overtime to help him out and get him back on his feet and it isn't even his kid.

This is why I never want to date a single mom. You spend a good portion of your life paying for someone else's mistake.

That sad things is that a lot of the single moms I meet these days are barely in their mid 20s.
