Age diffrences with relationships

Question

Ok so my mates bisexual and only 15 but shes in love with this 27 year old woman that she works with, there always messing about and are just like best friends, my mate flirts with her and gets it back, but she wants to tell her how she feels is it a good idea. I've told her she should be care full with working together and the age difference.

Answer 1

i think that the 12 year age gap wouldn't be such a problem if she was older but at the age of 15 the age gap makes a huge difference as she has had very little life experience in comparison to the 27 year old. If however she was say 25 and 37 the gap wouldn't seem so big. Is she sure that the reaction she is getting back is infact flirting and not just wishful thinking? I dont think that is is a good idea to tell her how she feels not only because of the age but it would be very awkward in a working environment if she is rejected.  

Answer 2

This is not appropriate behaviour, and the older woman must take responsibility for it.  It is difficult because I'm sure your friend is a mature young person, and in that respect would not want to make a situation difficult

Answer 3

No it is not at all a good idea. First of all she is underage. Second of all she is too immature. The day of your 16th birthday doesn't mean you're mature all of a sudden. The life experience she has is not comparable to than of a 27 year old. She won't like to hear this but it's nothing more than just a crush.

Answer 4

Its not a good idea, the older woman probably sees her as a kid sister and if she's not happy with the news that a kid fancies her, things could get really awkward at work.

Answer 5

She is only 15 and still a child so the older woman would be in major trouble if anything were to happen. I would hope the older one would be able to act responsibly and not encourage her.

Answer 6

well its up to your friend what to do or not.

but i would give her some advice about how not to get her hopes up because shes only 15 and this lady is 27 soo theres a chance of rejection, she also might feel alittle awkward if she is rejected.
