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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

I don't think it's wrong at all either way. OP didn't know how young her crush was, and once she found out, she realized how inappropriate it was and resolved not to pursue him. That's exactly the way this situation should have turned out.

I'm 21 and constantly am checking out 17 or 18 year olds. If I don't know that they're young why would I beat myself up? However, 15 is a bit young to go after whether you're a girl or a gay man, (since we don't know OP's gender).

It's only illegal if you have sex. And I don't think it's that gross, it's not like he's an elementary schooler

In 3 years all will be perfectly legal. And when you both are around 90, the 7 year age gap will be something to laugh about.

There is a saying" true love waits true crush crushes" in this case you are crushed.

Having once been a 15 year old boy, I'd say go for it. He'll be so grateful

You're saying OP should risk imprisonment so a child can get laid?!?! Wtf is wrong with you? Yeah that's not worth it.

Plenty of 15 year old boys who were taken advantage of by adults would disagree with you, 42.

That sort of BS attitude is what leads to boys not speaking up about being molested because they'd be "lucky" to have it happen (not saying the OP is doing anything like that, obviously just that #42s comment is gross and harmful). So gross.

It's not creepy at all. I've gone to bars with male friends of mine who flirted heavily with girls and turned interesting shades of red and backed off when they learned how young those girls were. I'd never call those guys creepy, because they did exactly what they should've done in that situation - as soon as they got the information that the contact they were having was inappropriate, they ended it. That's all you can expect from people, since we're not born with our dates of birth stamped on our heads.

How did you not know…

I know, right? She should have checked the number clearly stamped on his forehead.

hey if you think that's bad one of my friends who is 17 is seeing a 40 year old worst part is it is legal where I'm from. I went to the cops they just laughed and told me it's legal.

17 is the age of consent through out most of the US. 18 is just being a legal adult. So at 17 you can sleep with any other legal adults (depending on the state), and at 18 you can smoke, die for your country, see rated R movies, etc.

you can see R rated movies at 17.
