telling parents dating 13 year older man

Hey girl! I know what your going through cause when I was your age I too dated a 30 year old as well! My Mom knew how old he was because he asked her for permission to talk to me and I didn't know about it til my mom told me he asked her to talk to me!I was so in love with him we dated til I was 18 because we were both going through so things at the time! But anyways I didn't know how to tell my dad that I was dating a 30 year old and I had done falling in love with him! My parents are not together they been seperated since I was 7 months old!But My Dad is very strick and crazy so that's why I didn't tell him still to this day I haven't told him anything! I'm now 19 and I'm currently dating a 40 yr old but I didn'y know he was 40! I thought he was at least 28 because he is very athletic and he looks very young as you can tell! And I think I might be pregnant for him as well My Mom knows about it and she's ok with it! But I know if I am and I have to tell my Dad he would be very pissed off at me and the guy! He did meet him 1 time but that was before me and the guy actually started dating! My daddy will probly kill me if he find out how old he is and if I'm pregnant! I have my own place and I go and spend the night with him all the time. But off of me and my situation! When is your 18th birthday? I would wait til I turn 18 to tell them his real age because once you turn 18 your be consided as an adult! And there's nothing they can do about that!Because you'll be LEGAL!!!! But just do what you think is best for you! I wish you the best of luck with everything!

ok so im in the same spot you are only im 14 and hes 23. my mother knows he loves me as his best friend but thats it, and were not datting but we do stuff together and when i say that please dont think sex bcuz im still a virgen he also knows the consciousnesses if we do have sex so we are waiting till im an adult. he helps me in life, like with school (doing good, staying in school, not droping out, gong to collagee, getting a job etc...) and with my "problems" such as me being suicidal and cutting (and yes i do get help for it.). im falling for him and when im 18 he will be 27 so would it be legal? or no? im so lost and confused.

when I was 13ish I started dating a much older guy - NOT 20s but much much older. I really don't want to mention his age because I know the usual response that I will be subjected to.

I just wanted to say that this was the best time in my life. Fow once I felt alive, I felt my confidence sky rocket. He made me feel valued and his kindness, love, benevolence and beautiful attitude along with his intelligence and maturity was just so lovely to experience. 

I wanted to be with him and we did start having sex - a LOT of it all the time. It felt right, it felt beautiful and it was very gratifying and satisfying. I agree I was naive but because he was such a gentleman I felt really safe with him. Never once did I feel threatened or insecure. My grades started improving and I was on cloud 9.

Contrary to what everyone thinks, I believe, there are good guys out there and as younger teens, we are missing out on those opportunities to have a mature, loving and very satisfying sexual and love filled experience. There is so much negative stereotyping of older guys and this is so unfair. In my experience through seeing what my friends go through, I feel there are more problems and issues with same age boyfriends. They are the ones who get young teen girls in trouble. For one they have no maturity or experience, they are inept and making a girl feel wanted, loved and secure and they invariably get the girl pregnant and do a runner. Happens all the time. I feel as a teen girl we have a lot more to benefit from having a relationship with a much older, mature, well educated and stable guy. 

I dont think parents need know. Assess the situation first. Get to know the guy and make up your mind about him. Try and find out more about him. Make sure he is educated and has a good reputation and isnt into drugs or alcohol. I hope he is reliable and not a rat bag. Good luck.
