I’m in love with a 16 year old. I mean.. I’m only 22. I’m not *that* ancient. And she lied to me about her age, said she was 18 when we met, so it’s not like I targeted her for her age or anything. I’ve only dated 20+ before, and had been perfectly happy with that. She struck me as surprisingly mature and intelligent when we met, and I became instantly attracted to her personality. But when she told me her real age, I just didn’t feel any differently. I don’t feel guilty over it. Just don’t see a reason to.

We click on a lot of levels. Music (90s rock/metal please), games, literature, attitudes, life experiences… SHE had been trying to educated ME on some B*** stuff, and her s** drive is about three times what mine is. I’m just not in the mood to text RP all that often, and I almost feel bad about it.

But I’d feel worse if I just abandoned her. Her situation is pretty rough right now, and I feel like she needs me. Everyone in her school bullies her, and her only other friend told her ‘Lol why should I care c***’ when she told him that she was having a panic attack. Probably over her PTSD from her stepdad r***** her, whom she still has to live with. She’s just this wonderful person with a heart of gold, and the least she deserves is one person to appreciate her for it.

For the record, none of our interactions are illegal. I don’t have much interest in n*** photos and have insisted for legal reasons that she send none, and she lives several states away so I won’t be touching her. I just know I’d catch a lot of s*** for this from people who aren’t in my shoes anyways. And if you still don’t approve by the end of this, then f*** you. I don’t care, and neither does she, nor will she. This isn’t hurting anyone. We’ll just keep on having a jolly old time without your green light.
