Q: So my boss and I have an oddly close relationship. He's 30 and I just turned 18.
so it's legal, and that isn't the issue.

We always tell each other about our boyfriends/girlfriends, and everything. We even tell each other the details of our sex life. He's in an extremely bad relationship and I'm single. He told me he was going to quit soon.

And I was just wondering how to take this to the next level? I mean without being extremely obvious, in case I am completely misreading the signs.
You're 18, he's 30- end of story. It doesn't matter how you feel about him. He is in a completely different stage of his life and for him to be going after an 18 year old is just wrong. The fact that you're legal is irrelevant. The fact is that you are too young for him. Sorry to say, but your head is in the clouds. For a 30 year old to discuss his sex life with you...do you not see something perverse in that? There should be no next level. If he is interested in you, he is only looking for one thing. He's in a bad relationship, he sees a young girl...and...he should just leave it at that. Do not take this any further.

When I was 21, I met a 32 year old. He had just ended a relationship. I told him it was nice meeting him, but that I did not want to get involved or get in the middle of things. And that was that. I even told my brother about him. He (and this is a guy's perspective, which can be VERY useful) said something along the lines of..if a guy 30 or above is interested in a girl much younger than himself, he's just looking for a young piece of ass. Even if you're mature for your age, there is only so much you have experienced in your life. There is no reason for you to date anyone that much older than you. He cannot take you too seriously- you are only 18. He is only going to look at you as a young girl he can have fun with- and that is only if he is even interested in you on a romantic and physical level. Leave it at a just friends/coworker relationship. Trust me, you will regret it if you try and take things further.

I respect your opinion, thanks :) Merry Christmas.

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.

I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
