Serious question, please give your best intput?
A woman of 33 moves to a foreign country, meets a 22-year-old man and is completely smitten by him. This guy is not only charming and gorgeous, kind and funny, very successful and interested in her, he is also a 6 foot 3 190 stone athlete.
He takes her on a 3-day long date since they live in the same hostel and are both about to start working for the same organisation, and the 3 days of hanging out, three best days in her life end up in a night of lovemaking... The most amazing lovemaking...
The next day she gets a text by a mutual acquaintance, who is about to be their new colleague, saying he needs to tell her something very important about Jake (her guy.)
She goes to meet him and is told Jake is 13. She laughs it off since Jake is a grown man and cannot be 13.
She goes back to the hostel and Jake comes back from running errands and she tells him her bizarre encounter with the new colleague and asks for his ID that she knows says 22 but just for laughs let's see it.
Jake then admits to her he is 13. He doesn't work in her new firm, his dad does and he lied about his age so he can be with her....
To make a long story short, after a period of disbelief that a 13-year-old can be as developed as this guy was, this woman had to leave this boy. She didn't want to, she just had to, being a decent person and all.
Eight years later 21-year-old Jake gets in touch with her and sure as Heaven, she is just as smitten with the grown-up version of the outlier boy, if not more...
If she takes up a relationship with him, does the fact they met when he was 13 and had sexual relations mean this can constitute grooming?
They weren't in touch for 8 years from her end. He never forgot about her, she became a bit of an obsession for him, and he kind of stalked her but he admitted to everything wanting their second chance to be built on honesty.
What do you think?
She has made her mind up and she will be with him, forever if he will have her, it's just that sometimes she can't help but wonder if this is anything like grooming.
Thoughts?
