Yeah.
Long story short: 16 year old ex is smitten with this 30 year old guy who is apparently her idea of a perfect match and she "loved him more than anything", and chooses him, and doesn't love me anymore apparently because of that.
That's an hugely oversimplified, possibly inaccurate summary, but it works.
Oh well, I'll just go on NS and wait for her to be crushed and hopefully fall in love with me again, all the while being there to comfort her.

I wonder if it's because of not having morning coffee yet. But I found this row of posts amusing for some reason.

I think the law in the USA is minors are off limits unless you're within four years of their age. I could have been mislead though.

EDIT: That's NM State law, so ymmv.

I'd have to read up on the specific laws. I was referring to a more general dating guideline. (For instance, went on a date once with a guy who I thought was in his late 20s at most when I was 21 or 22. Turned out he was actually 38 and had a 14 year old daughter. There was a whole lot of mutual "NOPE!" when age came up- he'd thought I was older than I was, just like I thought he was younger than he was! 38/2+7 = 26 = NOPE!)

Round fractions up or down?

Yeah, mostly I was just saying that depending on what the law is where it's happening, the described situation is a potential statutory rape situation.

Yeah, that is a thing, especially if the older gent is engaging with the 16 year old. An unreciprocated girl-crush is one thing; reciprocation is when it becomes a potential problem!

I'm surprised Deian hasn't consulted the police at this point.

Well, along the lines of what Reppy said, he gave no indication that the older guy was actually acting inappropriate.

Eh, even then I'd be worried about a girl that's 16 loving someone nearly twice their age.

It'd be worth keeping on eye on if there is any sign that the guy is showing interest back, but if the only thing going on is the girl pining for the guy, that's.... fairly normal. Teenage girls often get crushes on older guys, but rarely does anything come of it beyond one-sided pining.

The question is, will I actually be pleased once I start, or is this an illusion? Is it a one time thing, or is this going to become normal now?

Also the fact that she's 16...thus technically a minor in most states.

Trust me, I think that people should treat their body as a temple.

This is going to seem out of the blue, but,

Does anyone know where I can download a safe version of the Baidu browser so I can into NS while in China?

Every site I've looked at looks about as trustworthy as I'd expect a Chinese website to look, but I don't feel like fasting Nationstates for my entire trip.

Any help, tech-smart NS'ers?

Is it TET time again already?
