Just remembered this one.
Me - 16
Him - mid twenties

I seriously think my mum was on psychedelic drugs around my late teens. She hooked up with this big, ugly and stupid no-hoper of a DJ, (I say this because she was always a looker in her younger years). Now he had a friend, a skinny, creepy and stupid next door neighbour who seemingly took a shine to me. For some strange reason my mum's boyfriend managed to convince my mum to convince me to go on a date with this guy.

'Now Blousie it's only the cinema', she said, 'he's lonely and just wants cheering up'.

So off I trot, under duress, to go and see Breaking Glass with Hazel O'conner, (remember that one my fellow middle aged B3tans). I knew he was after getting in my knickers but why couldn't my mum see that too. I sat through the whole film not saying a word and just hoping he didn't try to put his hand anywhere soft or warm or both.

Anyway, the film finishes and we go home still in silence. He turns up the next day with a t-shirt and the LP soundtrack to the film as gifts. I squirm as I accept them and hope to God my mum hasn't turned into some 3rd rate pimp and ask me to sleep with him.

Thankfully she seems to now realise his intentions and has a word with her boyfriend about letting him down gently. This seems to work as he never bothers me again apart from furtive glances at my nubile young body. (God! was I ever nubile?)

Now reading all these posts about 16 year olds and their older boyfriends I just don't get it. At that age I would never have touched with a bargepole a guy who was over 20. They just seemed soooooo old. Maybe I was immature but I don't think I was. Maybe it was due to the fact that we grew up a lot slower than young girls nowadays. It was the first and last time an older guy took an interest in me, (that I know of), and after reading the current qotw I'm a little sad now.

what I don't understand
is that at the age of 20 I had only been sans V-plates for a year and wasn't getting much and yet I still wouldn't have been interested in a 16-17 year old girl.

Not to mention the associated piss-taking that I would've had from my mates.

The youngest I've ever gone
was about seven years younger than me. The vast majority have been anywhere from six months to 19 years older than me. (That last one was a waitress I worked with who was a rather harsh looking 39 to my 20. There was alcohol involved.)

I just can't go a lot younger. I think at this point it would be difficult for me to consider anyone under the age of 35. Ten years is enough of a gap. When I see guys my age or older going after 22 year old girls I shudder.

I remember "Breaking Glass" courtesy of my older brother.
I was six when it came out.

You think that's bad.
I almost shaved my eyebrows off to look like her.
