Is love for really blind.

You know the teenager loves are the biggest love. They are led by only their heart. I was in love always with my teachers, for example. Teenagers may have strong feelings like adults have, even stronger, but their mind is childish, unfortunatelly. That's why the liability is on the other side. If she has not spoken about it, it is just because she knows, that it is not normal. Is the man in love with her too? That would be a big problem. The adult men, who are in love with teenagers called pedophile.

I guess there's a possibility it's an innocent relationship but I have to say I can't see why a 32 year old guy would be looking for friendship with a 15 year old girl (or boy for that matter!). What's in it for him? Very strange. I'm afraid if it was my daughter alarm bells would be ringing on this one. I think you need to have a hard talk with her about it and, personally I would be having a hard talk with him as well. At least that might scare him off.

The better question might be "what does a 32 year old guy want with a 15 year old girl?" That is the part that doesn't sit right with me. Could they just be friends? Well I suppose, but it sounds like one of those potentially dangerous situations...not to mention illegal if it is more than a friendship. I think you need to have a long over due talk with your daughter. You need to be a parent not a friend...otherwise you may end up being a grandparent. Children actually like to have some rules and punishment. Sometimes the need to know someone cares enough about them to correct tem when they are wrong. As much as I dislike rumors I think you should tell your daughter what you've heard and that you want to know the absolute truth. If you have to limit her time with this man, only allow them to "hang out" when you are present. I'm sure if you probe into things a little it won't be hard to find out the truth about the situation. Good Luck!

Hmm... seems suspicious. At least they like each other. I don't think you can really blame the girl. It's the guy that's taking advantage here. Since she's still 15 you have a right to prevent her from seeing this guy, at least until she turns 18.

Its not about trust issues. Kids and teens usually don't tell you not because they don't trust you but because they would feel embrassed telling you their secret. Yes a 15 year old can just be friends with a 32 year old guy. Other people will find that unusual since they expect teens to only be friends with other teens as oppose to someone twice their own age. Some rumors are true while others are false. The best thing to do is to trust her.

I don't think that a 15 year old should be friends with a 32 year old man in any case. I think that is a dangerous situation. From my experience, there is some layer of truth to rumors that have been started, so you might want to really check things out. Mom's can be friendly and be open to communication with their kids, but they should be mom's first and foremost. The way you learned might not be the way for your daughter. She may need more guidance than you did in your teen days. This is a big problem and you might want to act on it now. If your instincts tell you that there is something going on, your probably right. Kids don't tell their parents everything and this could be one of those things she won't tell you about, because she knows you won't approve. So, it is up to you to weed out the truth.
