My Question of the Day: A very attractive, single man goes into a bar alone to have a couple of drinks. While he’s there, he’s approached by a beautiful young lady, and they strike up a conversation. To the man, the lady looks too young to be in the bar, so he makes it a point to ask her age. She tells him she’s 22, and she even pulls out a driver’s license that shows the same information along with a photo that looks exactly like her.

Still a little skeptical, the man begins asking the young lady questions that he’s sure someone under 18 wouldn’t know. The young lady is on point and responds to all his questions correctly without missing a beat. Even with this, something in the back of his mind and the pit of his stomach is telling him the young lady isn’t as old as she claims. He, however, doesn’t see the harm in keeping company with her while he’s in the bar enjoying his drinks.

He notes that she is only drinking club soda and asks her why. She tells him that she drove to the bar and doesn’t want to take the chance of being pulled over for drinking and driving. He thinks to himself that the young lady is at least responsible.

After his second and last drink the man tells the young lady it’s time for him to get home, and the two of them leave the bar together. He walks the young lady to her car, and she tells him she enjoyed his company and asks him if she can follow him home for a cup of coffee.

Although his gut is telling him she may be underage, his mind is rationalizing that he’s being over cautious. What should he do?

My 2 Cents: Dude needs to follow his gut, period.

If something is telling him the young lady’s underage, then it’s better to err on the side of caution than to find out he was right at his arraignment for statutory rape.

If he’s really that interested in her, he should get her contact information and take the time to get to know her and about her. At some point it will become clear whether she’s been bluffing very well or if she’s telling the truth.

A rush to judgment either way isn’t good. He should take his time, if he’s really interested in her.
