Dear Wynne, I'm 30

Dear Wynne,

Why is it wrong for a 30-year-old to have a crush on a 15-year-old?

Signed,

30 going on 15

Dear 15,

Oh, absolutely it is wrong. The 30 year old is not ready for a relationship (friendship, dating, or sex) if the 30 year old is crushing on a 15 year old. I suggest the 30 year old work on developing maturity. There is no reason on this green earth a 30 year should have anything in common with a 15 year old - unless the 30 year old never bothered to grow up - or the 30 year old only bases a relationship on physical attributes. If it’s physical attributes - well, that’s all part of growing up and maturity - you’ll find out by about age 22-26 that it’s not all about the body - that a mind is something that can be sexy, too. In this day and age of ready information, this should not even be a question. But you are asking it which means you understand it's wrong. Leave the 15 year old alone.

Cordially,

Wynne
