if you are seeking a romantic relationship with them only to move on when they get to old, what is this really? its just fantasy fulfillment. I mean we all out grow ppl but this is something different and I think those cases are the ones we hear about most of the time. ppl will become involved with kids until they are too old...which is why i can't see this as love, because if you love someone, that will go pass the underlying desire for just their body. but i digress...maybe i'm a bit more open minded because i was never molested or raped. but ppl can't sympathize with ppl when the norm that is shown is not about love. the author can say what wants but he can't speak of what would happen if he were to pursue someone.
