Now before everyone starts freaking out and calls 911 making the Helicopter police crash through the window and bash me with their taser sticks I want to make it clear that I am speaking of a rather specific set of circumstances. First, I am 23 years old myself.
Say you are 20-something adult and one day you meet this young teen at say a coffee shop. Normally we mistakenly perceive the current teen generation as #YOLOSWAG and nothing else. Bunch of dumb airheads who will get nowhere in life. But this one is different, they are one of those rare wise-beyond-their-years or early matured types. The reasons for this could be several, perhaps they were required to become responsible or the man/head of the house at an early age, or they are living by themselves in a paying guest arrangement and are here in the city for higher studies but regardless they might as well be a tiny adult.
You obviously hit it off and the boy/girl wants to meet you again except you learn that they are within the 14-18 age bracket. Do you run off screaming immediately or would you consider dating this person? Now this comes with some restrictions:
1. NO physical intimacy due to them being under-age. Are you willing to wait however long it takes them to reach the age of consent? Your partner never asks for it anyway.
2. You can't be public with your relationship because of the first few lines of the OP, people tend to freak out and with good reason.
So given the above specific circumstances which can be a rare occurrence, would you ever consider such a relationship or it goes beyond your moral limits?
