Hi Smiley! I'm glad you found us. I just saw your message to me a minute before it was deleted. :) I'm glad you think I'm a nice guy. There are a lot of nice and understanding people here. I think you'll like the interaction. I first found this place back in August, and it has helped me a lot! You asked how old I am... I'm 30. And like you, I was attracted to younger kids when I was a teenager. My age of attraction is around 12-14 year old boys, which has made it tough for me since that is also the age group I often find myself surrounded by because of my work. But I've kept my feelings in check and have had some very successful relationships with boys. I've known one boy since he was 7 or 8, and now he's 16. I was his spiritual mentor in a way, and up until a year ago or so, he was still asking me questions about right and wrong, the Bible, and how he should act as a Christian. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of man he will become. And I'm glad that I never gave in to my sexual attraction and ruined that for him. I think this is what you need to keep in mind. You have to think about the effect that your actions might have on those boys. Also, think about who you want to become. Can you picture yourself at 30 still doing some of the things you're doing now? If not, then now is a very good time for you to start making some changes, like Forgiven said. There's nothing wrong with hanging around with younger kids as long as you're doing it for the right reason, but it's good to be around your own peers, making friends with them and growing into a man right along with them. I wish you the best. You already seem to have a good sense of right and wrong. It's good to question these things and yourself. Keep asking questions... hopefully we can help. Peace! ~Splash* |
