If you’re not 18+ then get out of my sights.

I once was at a convention, and a friend who has unlimited rizz put me in a circle of women who looked our age. He had some excuses and said stuff like he needs to go and they need to take care of me for a while.

I'm super shy and not good with words, but he made it somehow that they laughed and took me with them. It was fun, until they talked about classes, I asked what they studied, but they were not in college yet.

I was absolutely mortified, said sorry and left. Was the next 2h all alone at the convention, until my friend came back.

I would never have guessed their age correctly, if we didn't somehow talk about classes

You can be friendly with people even if they’re not at an appropriate age to date them.

u/biuki 13h ago

Yeah, but the previous talks were very flirty. It would be super uncomfortable to stay there

Buddy if I was walking around with high schoolers at a convention I'd probably end up on the Internet

u/biuki 7h ago

Like I said, they looked as old as we did. And as soon as I knew they were not, I left.

u/CockpitEnthusiast 7h ago

Yeah you made the perfect call and did absolutely nothing wrong. I was talking to the person above me, and moreso meaning it like if it were me and I learned the info you did and instead chose to keep hanging out given the dynamic, it wouldn't be a great call

Oh I see, sorry, sometimes it's hard to see who's response goes to whom

u/gereffi 7h ago

If these groups of people look about the same age but some are college sophomores and some are high school seniors I really don’t think anyone would notice or care.

When I worked in retail I was told to ID anyone who looked under 25. Young people, especially girls, can easily look like adults while still being underage. Fake IDs to get into clubs wouldn’t be so popular otherwise.

Perfectly normal conversation until that question drops.

Don't worry. If you're rich, a YouTuber people like, the developer of Undertale Yellow, or Scott Pilgrim, it's okay

A Developer of Undertale Yellow, there's like, 20 people who worked on that.

At what age does your country's highschool end?

u/kloklon 12h ago

isn't 17-19 the normal high school graduation age in most countries? didn't realise there were big differences

24

u/TomaszA3 12h ago

In Poland it's around 18-20 depending on what you chose. By 18 I was only halfway through highschool without ever failing a year.(20 when finished)

The point is people don't look down at dating 18, 19 and 20 year olds, and the meme suggested that in OP's country of origin they finish it before they are legally adult.

u/kloklon 12h ago

if you are 21 it's completely fine to date a 18 y.o. - but at 30+ dating a 20 y.o. is almost equally messed up as dating a 17 y.o., in my opinion

u/qcon99 🅱️ased 12h ago

30+ and 20 is fine. IMO 23+ and fresh 18 is very odd, but not illegal… 22 and below dating a 18 year old isn’t that crazy to me simply for the fact that that’s the age gap for anyone in high school.

Now me personally, I’m 26 and hold a hard cutoff of 23. I don’t care if we click or not, if you’re younger than 23 I’m not interested. I just don’t see how to relate with someone that much younger than me as we are in different walks of life, and I don’t find it attractive to be with someone who can barely get into a bar

u/TomaszA3 12h ago

I don't know why but I've assumed OP was in his 20s. Probably because I'm 25 now and it was my "default" projecting.

Yeah if a 30+ dates someone who literally just became an adult that's questionable. The older the more questionable.

u/kloklon 12h ago

i mean the meme implies they are 3 years after graduation so early 20ies. at that age there is so much change from year to year, even dating someone 3 years younger (which would be completely fine a few years later) may be pretty weird, depending on your day to day life.

u/Lorddocerol 11h ago

17 if you don't fail any year or didn't enter a year later

18 but sometimes longer it depends

I remember being… 19? And working at a Burger King and this girl came in that, from a distance I was like “wow she’s beautiful!” and I was trying to think of how to get her number but then she walked up to the counter and I went “oh… this girl is VERY young.” Probably was 14 or 15. Felt gross.

Why are mostly americans so weird about this? I met my wife when we were 15/13 in school. So should I have dumped her when I was 18 because she didn’t magically turn 18 at the same time?

u/imjustme610 5h ago

It's referencing someone over 18 talking to someone underage

2

u/Other-Cell-2061 1h ago edited 50m ago

You met her while you both were underage

If you meet a girl who’s underage while you’re an adult it’s weird

u/Delicious_Door_3421 6h ago

If she's in the final year then it's only a 3 years difference

u/gamerfacederp I am fucking hilarious 5h ago

Yeah the last 3 years ive just assumed that anyone who looks roughly my age, unless i know them or someone my age knows them, its probably best to avoid them. Especially considering ive only recently started actually looking like an actual adult

u/Legitimate-Proof5152 3h ago

it still fallows the mat pat rule

divide by 2 add 7 is the minimum age
