Does anyone think it is really possible for 47yr. old man to love 16 yr. old girl?

I know someone who has told me he has special feelings for a 16 year old girl, but he swears they have never done anything physical together. He said he only wants to take care of her, but he did state that if she wants children he would be willing to 'participate' and have a family with her when she is of legal age. Personally, I think he is going through a mid-life crisis. He has multiple personal problems, and this young girl has been coming on to him for quite a while (I know her very well, and I've watched her behavior around him). She is VERY guilty for her own part in this, but when I tried to reason with him and point out the things she's been doing, he just denies that she has done anything wrong. This is complicated, and she is now on probation and forbidden to see him for at least six months, so maybe they will both come to their senses in time. Anyway, any thoughts or helpful insights would be appreciated, and please no rude comments...thanks

    I believe Human emotions r beyond understanding.Emotions r one things very hard to control. I personally don't know them so i can't tell if they really r in love but to be honest i think it's wrong thing to do by a 47 years old man to a 16 year old kid. Kid is a kid, she haven't seen life yet and probably does not know wat she is getting into but this old man should have enough experience n brain to know that he is wrong.Even if he is truly in love with this girl n marry her n have children with her...how long is he gonna live? Can he do the things that father is supposed to do wen probably he will need someone to look after him by the time he becomes father. Wat will happen to the girl after he dies? If he loves her he should be able to give her good piece of advices and help her to go on with her own life and he should let her go for good.

    Ummm, it is possible for this man to THINK that he's in love with this child. He has issues with women his own age i'm sure. This relationship CANNOT happen. Oh sure, it could happen, but it definately SHOULDN'T! This girl most likely has issues as well...such as needing attention even if it's the wrong kind from the wrong person, she obviously needs to feel wanted and desirable because she doesn't know how to make herself feel that way....the both need a talkin to...good luck, let your friend know...he could end up in jail and would need to register as a sex offender for the REST OF HIS LIFE...is that worth it? This young girl will move on eventually anyhow...GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THAT....i wasn't tryin to be rude either...

    She is feeding his ego big time. She makes him feel young again. This is really common. Not being able to see him is actually going to make it worse. It will only make it that much more wanting. This is a sad situation. He will be robbing her of her youth.
