A female reader, fishdish United States +, writes (18 January 2008):

fishdish agony auntYou'll probably kill me, but you should try looking this at your parent's perspective...why would this man be interested in going after a highschooler and not someone his own age, would you be interested in pursuing a relationship with a 9 year old? The age gap and your minor status is disconcerting, and I don't see why waiting a little longer to prove to your family that you are mature enough (how long have you been together?) I'm sorry I'm not more liberal on this one, I've surprised myself, but at least, what can benefit you, is if you look it from their end then you can formulate counterpoints to it and show how wrong us oldies are acting.
