    Anyway Jacob I think that from a story-telling perspective the way to deal with a character that has outlived his era is to tell a story about a guy who has outlived his era, not to try to sort of re-appropriate the character into another era's genre tropes.

    I just can't think of a single instance in which I've seen anything like that done successfully

    Joker, I am with Thom. This if goes on will only end in tears and suffering for all involved. The numbers are against you man. And teenagers(which she is) are very malleable to people they meet at the time. Which explains the sense of her getting you. But my vote goes in this is a bad idea box.

    I wish I could give roleplaying a shot, but I don't know anyone who'd be into it.

    And I guess I'd rather not try it out with strangers.

    Because I know this sounds fucked up. I know none of my friends are going to understand. I know that there's going to be a social backlash until she turns 18 at the very least.

    But I think she's really awesome. and it's not an issue for her or her parents. And...and...and...

    I havent found someone who gets me as well as she does. And maybe if a bunch of people I know through the internet understand then there's hope...

    the argument put forth is along the lines of: interest rates let producers know whether customers want the products that are made via long-term investments or short-term investments

    Senj, thought I would let you know I had more votes for me growing my beard out last night at the thing I went to. So my plan is to probably grow it out at least for Halloween and do a Fidel Castro costume and see how it goes.

    Wiki says ephebophilia covers ages 15-19.

    Mature and experienced aren't quite the same thing. And you've got some heavy shit in your life. I'm not saying it can't work. I am wondering if you've objectively looked at it. How will she handle an anxiety attack? How is she gonna deal with you if you have one of those nights where you need to check the doors and windows a dozen times. What you're proposing is improbable under normal conditions but you aren't bringing normal conditions to the table.

    It doesn't even qualify as that. Ephenbophilia is where you're only attracted to 15-19 year olds.

    I'm attracted to a woman, who happens to be 16. I'm not attracted to her because of her age.
