Would this be creepy?

[Seen the light]

Hi Lounge!

A couple of weeks ago, my old summer camp counselor from way back found me through Facebook and contacted me. She was around 16 at the time and I was 9 or so. I had one of the biggest crushes of my childhood on her back then. She liked me too, but in a "teacher's pet" type of way I guess.

Anyway, we've been conversing back and forth over the past couple of weeks and I can tell she really wants to meet up and go out some time, but I think she might be worried that it might be strange since she's 30 now as opposed to my 22 and she used to be in a teacher/role model relationship to me.

I'm not really sure about this myself. She's still VERY VERY attractive like she was at 16, but still...are we right to feel awkward about this?

1. You're both adults.

So, at most, it would be awkward. But not creepy.
Just focus on having fun and getting to know each other more.
And bring me some Suzy-Qs when you come back.

:hi:

2. Go for it. I'm not going to go into any detail to explain why I recommend you do that,

except to say that I'm not a young man anymore - but when I was, I found it to be an excellent idea to remember the phrase "faint heart ne'er won fair maiden."

Give it a shot, and see what happens; after all, what do either of you have to lose? If it doesn't work out, you're both still WELL young enough to move on to the next thing, yes?

13. Can I just say something Redstone?

I think you're a kickass person and you're probably my favorite poster on DU. Been needing to say that for a while, but I never venture over to the Lounge to talk things non-political.

3. Still attractive at 30?

Then I'd go for it, dude. :)

4. I advise you to do it in the butt.

[pokerfan]

10. But?

But what?

[MrScorpio]

5. Go for it

Bring condoms!

6. I would hit that like a 99 cent double cheeseburger at McDonald's.

[JVS]

7. Mcdonald's has the $1 menu. Wendy's is the 99¢ menu.

[Danger Mouse]

8. The skinflints at McDonald's charge you one penny extra

for one of their sexy, sexy double cheeseburgers? Shiiiit.

[JVS]

9. hey, the penny is worth it seeing as wendy's sells single cheesebugers at 99¢

If you're lucky you can still get the jr bacon chsburger, but some stores charge more for it.

[Danger Mouse]

11. i'm not much for the bacon. it chafes.

18. Annoying pointless quibble

The dollar menu burgers at Wendy's are 1/8th pound, the double cheese burger at McD's is two 1/8th pound patties, so you do get more "meat".

[JVS]

20. But the jr.bacon cheeseburger has lettuce tomato and bacon, and is generally a higher quality burger

So if one can sacrifice the bulk of the double, it makes a good choice.

[dropkickpa]

21. The meat is MUCH better

I used to work at Wendy's back in the day, and I'll still eat there, so that tells ya something!

[JVS]

22. Was it in Pittsburgh? If so, which location.

One of my friends used to work at the one on Baum Blvd.

[dropkickpa]

23. Oh! That's the scary one!

I worked at the one at the Waterworks mall.

14. Elitist. Taco Bell is where it's at.

:eyes:

[iconicgnom]

12. sounds fun, exciting! enjoy yourself.

[mitchum]

15. Yes... the really good and hot kind of creepy

Actually, it's not creepy at all
don't sweat it

[Left Is Write]

16. No, I don't think it's creepy. Awkward, probably - but not creepy.

I had a terrific crush on my sociology teacher when I was 16 and he was 32. This was, of course, entirely one-sided, and if he could tell I was crushing on him, he never let on.

However, a few years after I graduated, he got married. To a woman my age! :)

[Aristus]

17. Go for it. My wife and I hooked up when I was 26 and she was 35.

Four years later, I married that smokin' hot lady. Do it. If it doesn't work out, at least you tried...

[ThomCat]

19. Have fun.

You're both adults. :)

[MilesColtrane]

24. Only creepy if she wants to Pamper™ you.

I'd hit it like a snowcone of kind bud.

[Mesteryo]

25. if by awkward you mean..

A lucky guy. If I were you I'd definitely not pass this up. It'd only be creepy if she looked like Dick Cheney with a wig.

[Taverner]

26. Go for it and above all, enjoy!
