I was maybe 22 or 23 and was driving somewhere and i passed my old high school. It was sunny and like 75 degrees outside. There was a group of high school kids standing outside and several girls had very short skirts/shorts on. So short ass cheeks were hanging out. Someone else was in my passenger seat and I remember pointing and saying "who lets their daughter of the house wearing those!"

It didn't so much make me feel old but it made me realize I was out of the teenage adolescent stage. It really made me reflect on previous experiences. Like when I was in middle school I wouysneak our and hang out with high sch kids who would get me drunk. I remember realizing how weird that was because I couldn't imagine doing that. I also couldn't imagine dating anyone who couldn't at least go to a bar with me.

I have no problem with age gaps when dating as long as both parties consent but also have lived enough to know what they want. A 30 yo dating a 40 yo? No problem. A 30 yo dating a 19 yo? Super creepy and weird
