is my dad a pedophile!?
Okay so my dad loves to get on these weird dating websites like match.com or plentyoffish.com
my parents are divorced so idrc about the fact of him talking to women but he's dating girls that are like 19 years old I have a sister who's 18!
I find it creepy for him to be talking to girls who are that close to his own daughters age.
is he just doing this to feel young again?
or what? it makes me creeped out to even be around him! why won't he date girls that are his age? (he's 39 almost 40)

Yes - it's creepy as all hell and I feel bad for you.
However, it's not pedophilia. Pedophilia is about sexual attraction to children - people who are NOT sexually mature yet. Nineteen and eighteen year olds are sexually mature, they are well finished puberty and are physically adults.
Go ahead and let your dad know you don't like it. It's probably not illegal. It's definitely not pedophilia. But that doesn't mean you have to be cool with it. It's not cool.
There are lots of reasons he might be doing this - feeling young, powerful or just sexy. Whatever the reason, you don't have to be okay with the behaviour and to let him know that. He might not change his mind but at least he'll know that this behaviour has an effect on his kids.

As long as he isn't dating anyone under 16, he's not a paedophille.
It may creep you out but alot of men like younger women. They're often more attractive, fitter and more interested in 'young' things like going out clubbing which may well make him feel young again.
Your dad has every right to date who he likes but if it's really making you feel uncomfortable, have a word with him. He might take it on board and bear it in mind in future, he might not. If anything else, perhaps an explaination of why he likes younger women might help.
