Just like our character in this movie, I didn't think I was pretty and was just happy to have someone want me, nobody in school did. I thought then that we were dating and I called him BF but looking back, all we did was sex. I'm glad now we were never out in public because that would've been embarrassing. I became promiscuous as did she and at this point sex became a good past time. It went on for about a 1.5yrs, I was lonely before and thru out, he ended it. Took me few years to realize I was better than him and he shouldn't of touched me. This movie resignates strongly with me.

It doesn't really matter now. It was an experience that helped to shape who you are today. My uncle slept with countless teen girls when he was in his 20s and 30s. I asked him why and he claimed they were easy access and always shown interest in older men, more so than guys their ages. He also claimed to not been able to get them when he was a teen so it was sort of payback lol. But he's definitely right about teen girls showing interest. I get hints of interest from them all the time now since I became a young man, but none when I was a teen. It just seems like they gravitate to me without me having to do anything to encourage it. They are not shy for some reason. Maybe it's the culture now?

Just curious, but why do you think you were better than him? You were engaging in sex just like him. Just because you were younger than him that makes you better than him?

And all the pieces matter (The Wire)

So in your mind, an inexperienced teen and a man 8-10yrs her senior are experiencing the same relationship?

He was 35 and she was 15. There is no excuses! He should of walked away even though she was showing interest! Be the adult and walk the F away! So wrong!

"wit", "shouldn't of". Learn English, dolt.

You are one sad and lonely person to presume that an individual is stupid for bad grammar when we all come from diverse backgrounds and English is not everyone's first language but I understand that you have absolutely nothing going for yourself that you'd resort to stooping to low levels to make yourself feel better. Gotta get that self esteem where we can I guess even if their method make you pathetic.

I did a lot of self reflection of my life in the 70s and currently writing a book about it. The situation you describe is common but not of every boy. I myself fell into the trap of doing things I didn’t like but some people said it was cool. Now I consider it par for the course. I am not proud of what I did but it was part of growing up. Back years ago I had some homely younger girls flirted with me. My friends said go out with them and you can get sex. Well it wasn’t me. Even in my 20s I had young girls flirt with me. I wasn’t in it just for sex and thought what kind of relationship would we have. I knew of plenty of scum bags that would do that and didn’t use birth control.
