i’m a 26 year old woman, i’ll be 27 in a few days. there’s this guy who’s been 18 since january of this year, not in high school anymore. i met him about a week ago. he’s very flirtatious and i’ve repeatedly stated that i’m not interested in flirting with anyone younger than 21 years old. he keeps making sexual jokes. the thing is, i care about him as a person. because i was raised in a way that makes me dependent on my parent, he likely has more life experience than i do. i’m horrible at telling people no and i’m a people pleaser. we were on the phone and i was very exhausted, hadn’t slept yet and the sun was rising. i like him and enjoy his company, so i was staying on with him all night. he kept pushing the boundaries and saying sexual things even if i said no. unfortunately, i found myself attracted to the things he was saying and it came with immediate shame. i feel awful for liking the things he was saying and feeling attracted to him. i feel like i’ve been pushed into a corner.
