Is a
28-year-old dating a 22-year-old or a
A 29-year-old dating a 23-year-old
“Okay?”
Do parents get notified if their adult child is in the hospital?
The fuck is wrong with you
How many times are you gonna ask variations on this question?
Twinsies!
Same but in German.
Welcome to our not-so-secret society. A cult robe will be delivered via DHL shortly.
We’re officially friends now. Yay!
Hey I wonder what my user tag is?
I don’t have a user tag for you either.
I only tag people as a reminder to myself not to engage with them. So congrats, this random Internet stranger is not intentionally avoiding you!
No tag in my recordkeeping, but I’ll have you know you’re at +19
Is it OK for a consenting adult to date another consenting adult? Why is it so confusing?
And it’s also no one else’s business if they are adults. Here’s a new title: Does Grimreaper know how to mind his/her own business?
Why do keep asking these age specific questions?
@Grimreaper@sopuli.xyz, you gonna answer this?
He never does.
OP does reply very occasionally. I got in an argument with them about drunk driving
He’s a 14-year old troll and should just be banned from the whole of Lemmy.
Now I’m jealous. OP, you never answer me! Why do you hate me? Is it the age gap?
I’m turning 34 soon, I’m probably a lot older than OP
I’m betting they’re fawning over someone dating someone older.
OP is obsessed with age differences so you are probably right.
Internet creepyness rule:
(Older age / 2) + 7.
28/2 = 14
14+7 = 2129/2 = 14.5
14.5+7 = 21.522 and 23 both seem fine to me.
That rule is way older than the Internet.
If everyone’s an adult capable of making their own choices then let them. Is this reddit? Get outta here.
No one is going to stop you. I personally found people in their early twenties to be far too immature when I was in my late twenties. Just being on the borderline of different life phases, etc.
I think you meant to ask 50 and 22, Mr DiCaprio
Yes. It is ok. Not sure what you mean my “okay”.
1/2 your age + 7 is the rule.
Well
28/2 = 14; 14 + 7 = 21
So yes. Both yes.
This is the real answer.
Either she’s very mature or you’re somewhat immature if you’re in the same phase in life, but that’s not a crime. Morally, as long as you’re not actively, consciously playing with this young lady then it should be fine, right? You know better than us what your intentions are, and don’t worry that God will hold you accountable for everything. 🤷👍
Yeah, I met my wife when I was 28 and she was 23. Maturity levels for a 5-6 gap aren’t super different at that point.
But I can say that being 23 and dating an 18 year old was uncomfortable for me because of the difference in maturity.
Yes lol
Divide the older person’s age by 2 and add 7. That’s the youngest person they can date without being creepy about it.
This rule is commonly cited, but is also completely meaningless, as a social construct.
Don’t apply that when the oldest is younger than 14 … It becomes weird /s
Taking this half-serious for a second, it still works.
12/2 = 6+7 = 13. Since they’re the older one, the other person is younger than 13, thus they can’t date them.
(Two consenting adults can do whatever they like)
