Meeting An Underage Girl
Hello. My name is Brian Hardy. I am twenty-six years old and I live in Danville, California. I have Asperger’s Syndrome, so relationships can be difficult with em and I tend to interact more with people who are younger or older than me. My current issue that I am having is with a girl named Rachel. I met a girl who works at my gym named Rachel. She is very friendly, we get along very well, and we are able to have nice conversations with each other. Plus both of us are originally from San Jose. The thing is Rachel is only sixteen years old and I am twenty-six years old. However, there were times when I helped out Rachel. For example, I noticed that Rachel was struggling in Math. I referred her to my former math tutor Mrs. Hom, but Mrs. Hom turned Rachel down because she had no openings available, but offered to place Rachel on a waitlist until she had some openings available. Rachel also bears a striking resemblance to my best friend Sarena and I introduced the two girls to each other one night while Sarena was working out at the gym. I am a brony and Rachel is a pegasister, so we both like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I have a lot of friends who are bronies and pegasisters too, but they are within my age range. Rachel got into the show because her four-year-old brother watches the show on television. I bought a copy of the novel “My Little Brony” as well as a six-pack of My Little Pony socks. Rachel has started reading the book and she really liked the socks. She even gave a pair of the socks to her little brother and he wore them to bed one night. I also own a pair of My Little Pony socks and I often wear them to impress Rachel. Rachel read the first chapter of 'My Little Brony' last weekend and she really enjoyed it, so I know how to make her happy. However, there are some problems. Because Rachel is underage, my father says that I am not allowed to socialize with her outside of the gym. Plus Rachel has a fifteen-year-old friend named Lily who works at Juice Zone. When I told Lily that Rachel watches My Little Pony, she burst into laughter. Plus I met Rachel’s father one night. He is a very muscular-tough looking man who resembles Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I am a little turned off by him. Lily making fun of Rachel for liking My Little Pony reminds me of the novel “My Little Brony.” In the novel, Drew has a friend named Skye. Skye and Emma were the best of friends until Skye started watching My Little Pony, but they later reconciled thanks to Drew’s help. The reason why Emma was against the show was because she had strict parents who would not let her watch My Little Pony or read fantasy novels, so she would read fantasy novels in the library at school. I can see how Emma feels because when I lived in San Jose during my childhood, I lived next door to a Dutch family. One night, my parents went out to dinner and they assigned the family’s eldest son Maarten to babysit me and my brother that night. While my parents were out of the house, Maarten ate all of the See’s candy and watched my father’s copy of the Beatles movie “A Hard Day’s Night.” Because of that, my parents did not assign Maarten to babysit anymore. Like Emma, Maarten also has strict parents who will not let him do fun stuff and maybe Lily has strict parents who will not let her watch My Little Pony either. Because Rachel is underage, I am not allowed to socialize with her outside of the gym. My parents have forbid it. I do have her number and I have texted her a few times, but I do not speak to her on a regular basis. I would like to remain friends with Rachel, but I feel like our friendship is like Romeo and Juliet without the romance. Anyway, what should I do about my relationship with Rachel" She is a very nice girl and I enjoy her company, but she is ten years younger than me.

You discussed two issues, one her being underage and the other how others view the interest in my little pony. I have a thirty yr old daughter who makes her own costumes for anime conventions and similar conventions and one was My little pony. Apparently a lot of 20 somethings and people in their thirties participated which means that it is nothing to be ashamed of if some people laugh at it, they just are clueless as to the age groups of those interested.
The other issue is one you can't do anything about for two years, until she turns 18. At that point she will be considered an adult. You may be trustworthy as a person but all it takes is her parents or some friends trying to be mean and making it up that you slept with her, had sex with her and even if she says you didn't, she is underage and it could be seen as a girl just trying to protect a male friend or boyfriend and that she is the one lying. And so there is alwats a chance you could end up going to jail. Therefore, I side with the law and what your parents are saying, do not socialize with her outside of the gym.
