I (20f) was 13 and dated a 33 year old, jake. Here’s the thing, though. It happened 7 years ago but i still feel a bit bad for it.
We met online and jake started talking to me a lot and liking my posts on instagram. I ended up joining his small discord server that he didn’t use a lot.
He never told me his age but he would always show a picture of a teenage boy on his posts and send them to me, who looked about 14. Plus, when i confessed that he looked cute (or the boy did) and i said i liked him, he said yes when i asked him out.
things went well in the relationship. He was attentive to me, funny, I really liked him despite being young, so just puppy love.
he knew i was 13, i didn’t know his age. He, after a month of being romantic and calling me cute, wanted to get back with his ex (m20s) and told me that he was actually 33.
He felt bad and said he shouldn’t be talking to minors my age, and also said that I groomed him and tricked him into going out with me. He also said he said yes because he felt bad because i “guilt-tripped” him even though he never showed his real face and didn’t tell me he was freaking 33.
Edit: thank you for your support!! 🙏 🫂
What? He groomed you, used you, dumped you. Idk what the statute of limitations is, where you are, but I hope filing criminal charges is an option, and that you consider doing so.
I would if i still had contact, i don’t even remember his username. i haven’t spoken to him since around 2018. Thank you
Well it can’t be helped. Best thing you can do is maybe get some therapy and work on healing old wounds, so you can be the best version of yourself, however you picture that. I wish you all the best, because you deserve it. ❤️
Thank you. You too deserve the best 🫂
I barely think about it but I realize what a dick he is.
🫂 You’re so welcome, and thank you, too. That means a lot to me.
We all gotta stick together
🫂 Yayy!!
