Wedding Woes

Continuing to communicate seems like a bad idea.

Dear Prudence,
A few months ago I posted an ad on an ageplay-related dating site. Roleplaying with consenting adults is something I enjoy (discreetly). Since then I’ve met a wonderful woman, and we’re currently seeing one another. I recently received an email response to the ad which I’d forgotten to take down—a mistake I have now fixed. The message was from a 14-year-old-girl. I responded saying I was sorry, but I am certainly too old for her, and wished her luck finding someone her own age. Is that a sufficient response? Most of me wants to get as far away from the situation as possible, but I have a lingering concern that I might want to let her parents know that she’d been messaging older men on the internet. I know I’d like to know that about my child at that age, but I also know that everyone’s situation is different. What should I do?

    I agree with DSC but this grosses me out so hard.

    edited bc she is not DCS


  • Contact the site administrator. It's likely she's violating TOS by having a profile on an adult-only site and let them deal with it. Don't message her or her family. 



    Such a great idea to try and do something to protect "supposedly" a child, but without being a random stranger getting directly involved in a "child's" life.

    Do not invite trouble.  Such a bad, bad idea.

  • I feel like the LW wants an excuse to stay involved, and that is super icky.  Move along.

    Yes.  It's gross concern-trolling.

    Why?  Why not give him the benefit of the doubt that he actually is concerned for her well being?  Not all guys are pedo pervs.

    I'm with Mallory on this, though.  Just move on and do nothing else.  I like Charlotte's idea but that could have unintended consequences for the LW.
