Basically, the way it works is people DM me

as I possibly can right here on BuzzFeed.

I'm a hot mess in virtually every life department,

So I recently got a DM from someone who wants to know

"I'm currently 23 years old and I'm talking

"Yes," in all capitals, "I know what it must

"and moved away to pursue a career in law.

Okay, so let's just do some quick mental math here.

She's 23 years old now, she had him 10 years ago,

which I guess means she was 13 when she had him.

Now she's 23 and he's 11 years older than her,

"He would text me every day, but nothing too inappropriate.

"to see me in real life and have a conversation in person.

So your question was, "Is this a bad idea?"

Could we flip that and ask a different question?

If your question is, "Is this a good idea?"

That one I can answer and I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

perfectly capable of doing whatever you wanna do,

but the fact remains you were 13 years old when you met him.

I can't help. but think there's something

a little bit off about a man who would take on

the very important responsibility of educating young people

in their most formative, vulnerable, impressionable years,

but I am saying it's a little weird, right?

and your teenaged life was long forgotten,

And that's just the teacher aspect of things.

I would also have concerns about the age difference,

even if that man had never been responsible

I call Stephen speaks in sweeping generalizations

that are probably gonna get him in trouble with commenters.

who have age differences with their partners

However, when a 34-year-old wants to date a 23-year-old,

I think it's worth at least asking a few questions.

An 11-year age difference isn't unheard of.

And the older you get the less of a gap it becomes.

between a 23-year-old and a 34-year-old is vast.

to date someone in their very early twenties,

it means there's something else going on.

Maybe they're kind of immature and they don't wanna grow up.

that a partner their own age would know to look for,
