Today, I found out that the guy I've been crushing on for months is actually 15 years old. I'm 22. Not only is it gross, but it's also illegal. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned that the guy I've had a crush on for almost 6 months at work is significantly younger than me. So young that I could have been his babysitter growing up. He's 21, I'm 34. FML
Today, I found out that the 19-year-old I've been seeing is really 26, with two kids and a pregnant fiancée. I'm only 17. FML
Today, I found out the 28-year-old I am dating is actually 48. FML
Today, I found out my most attractive co-worker has a crush on me. I'm 53. She's 16.. FML
Today, the boy that I met online six months ago and expressed my love to sent me a picture of himself and confessed how old he really was: thirteen. I'm eighteen years old and holding a steady job. FML
Today, I found out that the girl I've been dating online for over three months is actually a very bored 14-year-old boy. FML
Today, it's been a year since I met a guy online. We clicked almost immediately. Eventually we started dating, after proving who we are through many sources. Turns out he lied about his age after he conspired to make sure I was 100% in love with him before telling me the truth. He's legal but the age gap is uncomfortable. FML
Today, a cute new guy I always run into at work hit on me. Turns out he's only 18. I'm old enough to be his mom. FML
Today, I found out the boyfriend of 2 years is actually 22 years-old instead of the 28 that he told me. I'm turning 39 this year and I'm very pregnant. FML
Today, I found out that the guy I've been dating for the past 7 months, who insisted on keeping us a secret because it was "too soon", is proudly showing off his new 19 year old girlfriend he met a month ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Age is just a number and jail is just a room.

This is mostly your own fault.

Was supposed to automatically know what the kids age was? it's an honest mistake.

"How old are you?"

OP, just wait 7 years and you two will be the same age!

Hey #34, has the thought crossed your mind that people quite commonly lie about their age?

It's not like you had his license right in front of you and as long as you have moved on, dont be so hard on yourself :) lots of other people in the world to crush on :)
greenwichgal 15
15 means he doesn't even have a license
kowsee 22
Haha you have a point, touché
Chibi_Hiroko 18
Well... a driver's permit maybe? :P
KatieJBabe 27
In Victoria you have to be 16 to get a permit.
LegitimateSalmon 12
Ouch. You probably should have known his age if you were crushing on him for months
guesswhatlifesux 14
The way op says "not 22" makes it seem like he lied on social media or something so she had every reason to assume he was older
I_Am_Melanie 15
She didn't say "not 22." She said "I'm 22."

If it was just a crush from afar that never cumulated in conversation until now there ISN'T any way to know. There are teenagers 15 and sometimes younger with full face, arm, leg and/or chest hair. Looks are all based off genetics, not age. Does it make it right for OP to persue the attraction? Not at all. And judging by OP ending with it being gross I highly doubt they will. Relax. Accidents happen. Hell, I'm 25 and am asked on occasion at work "Shouldn't you be in school?" And yes, they mean high school. I take it as a compliment and look forward to looking in my 20's when I'm pushing 40.
Brandi_Faith 34
Ya, I'm assuming this is a crush from far away where they have very little, if any, communication. In which case there was no way op could've known. I'm kind of wondering where op would be seeing this guy. Maybe she works in retail and he comes to her store sometimes?
Swandive235 27
Perhaps wait 3 years. And sometimes love works in strange ways. Anyhow, sorry about your predicament.
yerawizardlizzy 27
Umm, no. Don't wait three years. There is way too much life to live to wait for some kid to grow up.
MariaGiovanni 25
Hopefully in three years OP will have matured as well as they will then be 25 which is still a different mindset than a barely 18 year old. It's one thing if they met as consenting adults but if OP waited for a kid to be legal that's creepy...
vcapelo 19
Or move to Denmark. 15 is The legal age here :P

couple of months legal age is 16 in Australia
John_in_Oz 12
The age of consent is 16 in MOST of Australia, but it's 17 in Tasmania and South Australia. There are exceptions that make consensual sex legal if the two people are of similar ages.
i_wuz_nver_here 31
Age of consent in the US is actually 16 in most states. Look it up

gracehi 33
22, that's not what he said at all.
MariaGiovanni 25
#22 when did he ever say or imply that? All he said was an example of how some people could look older. A six foot tall person with a full beard definitely looks older than 8th grade.
Hilda_x 25
#22 what are you talking about? No one said being 6ft tall had anything to do with being "grown up".
Stephiroth 10
Height seems like a touchy subject for #22
FSGInsainity 15
When I was 14 I looked and sounded 17-18. Can't blame OP here.
itsalanis 25
You think 5'11" is short? Please, that's higher than average. I'm 5'9" and I think I'm perfectly fine at my height. :)
jks0308 22
I'm 5'2... if 5'11 is short I must be a midget

22/37- just stop digging dude. You already hit bottom...
Brandi_Faith 34
I'm curious as to what 22/37 said that made all these comments. It looks like the moderators may have taken his comments right off cause there not showing up here for me. It's actually kinda funny to read everyone's responses without those comments. Makes me want to just agree and go "seriously 22. Grow up" or something. Lol.
Jachin357 28
in all fairness a lot of young teens these days look way older and are more developed than before. I know lots of people that would go for a teenager only for discover their age, then back off.
sturschaedel 27
I first met my hubby when he was 20 and I was 14. After a few walks conversation got around to age for the first time and when we realized the huge age gap we both backed off. (What can I say, he was a late bloomer and had almost no facial hair.) 13 years later we met again, coincidentally. That age gap didn't feel so big anymore.
MariaGiovanni 25
See that's a nice story of a healthy relationship with an age difference. Not all gaps are bad but a child and adult is not okay.
ohkitty 21
if you're 22 & he's 15 what situation did you guys meet in where you wouldn't know his age?
Avatar_Kirra 14
maybe the kid works at a grocery store or something that OP frequents
SpyroMello 29
Why has no one mentioned online dating??
jessmakesamess 9
because 15 year old children don't online date???
utrax 23
You would be surprised if you knew how many kids use Tinder and similar apps, #106.

Nothing illegal about a crush. Don't act on it, obviously, but you haven't done anything wrong by being attracted to this boy.
sandormatyi 25
I don't think it's any more wrong that way... Also, how do you know OP is female?
