P.S. Our paths crossed there, Lorel. I just wanted to agree with you that I, too, always dated older guys starting from when I was 14, and not to get all "true confession-y," but I didn't lose my virginity until I was a month shy of 20, in college and deeply in love. I have no regrets about the timing. As with anything else, it depends on the girl and it depends on the guy, but it's entirely possible that the maturity level of the older kids around the GT kid can work in his/her favor. It did in my case. Boys my age were generally intimdated by me, and I was generally not interested in their immature shenanigans.
In the FWIW column...;)
