Question - (27 March 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 28 March 2008)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So I have this girl who is my best friend by any means. We have always been on and off again. Well she has seen this physical therapist since she was 14. Now she is 18. He is 34. So She has a huge crush on him and recently asked him if she should just give up. She meant if things would never work out between them. The thing I cant get into her head is that he is married and has kids that are 13. What do I do? Im afraid she is going to make a terrible mistake.

A reader, anonymous, writes (28 March 2008):

Chances are that these feelings are just infatuation and will fade with time. It is not uncommon to feel attracted to older people, especially if there is some sense of admiration of them.

If you think that she is serious, maybe you should try to explain to her, as a friend that doesn't want her to get hurt, that this man will not be able to hold a relationship with her. At least not a healthy one.

The choice is ultimately her's, but let her know how much you care about her and that you're not trying to hinder her happiness,but make sure she doesn't get hurt.
