This 21-Year-Old Is Dating A Much Older Guy Who Used To Be Her High School Coach And Her Parents Are Furious
A 21-year-old girl is currently dating a much older guy who actually used to be her coach back when she was in high school.
He’s 40, so 19 years older than she is. So, they originally met when she was part of the Varsity football team in high school.
To be honest, she did not play football that much while she was on the team, but she was passionate about the sport and thought it was wonderful just being there on the field with everyone.
When she turned 20-years-old, her old coach wanted to know if she might like to help him coach football.
There were a couple of girls on the team already, and her old coach figured it would be wonderful for these girls to have a woman in the role of a coach too instead of just being surrounded by a bunch of guys.
At first, she started out as an assistant to her old coach while she got more experience, and then after 2 years, she moved up to an actual coach on the Junior Varsity team.
Around half of her coworkers were players that used to be taught by her old coach, so she didn’t think it was weird at all to find herself amongst them.
As she kept working alongside her old coach, she discovered that she had feelings for him.
“Anyway not too long ago through conversation I admitted I had started liking him as more than just a friend/coach, he kinda brushed it off at first as a joke but when he realized I was serious and wasn’t concerned about the age gap, we agreed to go on a date, and we definitely had a connection,” she explained.

“Once we decided this was more than just dating, he suggested it’d be best if I left the team and he referred me to some coaches, and I have since joined a new team.”
Pretty recently, her mom and dad learned that she’s dating her 40-year-old former high school coach, and they’re furious with her.
They did not take the news of her relationship well, and they’re already looking into filing some complaints with the board of her high school.
They also have threatened to call the police on her old coach, and they truly believe that her coach lured her into a relationship though she’s too innocent to understand that.
She thinks that her parents are being way too over the top, and her coach was always appropriate towards her when she was a high school student.
“My fear is they’re going to make some public accusation against him and ruin his reputation and possibly his job because public opinion never really waits for facts,” she said.
She’s wondering how she can get her mom and dad on her side.
Do you think she can, or have they already passed judgment on her former coach that she won’t be able to influence?
