Is it normal a friendship between and adult and a kid/teenager?

Hello, ok like 1-1/2 ago I met my new neighbor who is a 12 almost 13 years old. At first I felt kinda strange that I liked this kid so much, but apparently I didn't care that much of what others might think because I would "hangout" with him and my brother outside the house. We would just play penalties and talk but I don't know what happened that I ended up getting to close to him that I started to see him as a little brother. I would even go visit him once In a while to his house and talk to his parents just so they could see that I wasn't a bad influence for the kid in fact I would give him advice, help him with his homework, and even sometimes buy him things. All I wanted was to to make him feel what it feels to have an older brother somebody that cares for him because he was an only child and most of the time his dad nor his mom were around him they would go some place else and forget about him for like a whole week and he would stay with his grandma. Is it normal that I almost got to the point where I got to see him as my own son? Even though I don't have any.

    I can see that however good your intentions may be, that his real parents might at some point react poorly to this relationship and you could be in for a world of hurt.
    You absolutely must put yourself and your safety first in these situations. The boy has parents and no matter how poorly they are doing their job, it is still THEIR job and not yours, to raise their child.

    How long was it before you were playing hide the salami with him?

      You strike me as having latent homosexual urges, so I made this screen name in honor of you. I really hope you like it. I don't know, maybe it is just wishful thinking for some reason but I'm like 90% sure you are, in fact, gay.

      I'm not gay, so when I say "wishful" thinking I mean I'd like to see that my instincts were proven correct.

        He or she is just a pretentious dick who thinks he/she is smarter than everyone.

          "King" would denote "he" so not much of a mystery there. If your perception is that I'm a pretentious dick that is certainly your prerogative.

          I don't think it would take a rocket surgeon to suss out that I am, in fact, smarter than most of the people on this site. But proving that is hardly my goal, I just waste time here between my performance sets. No more, no less.

          I also happen to think most of you are right wankers yet still, my humanity makes me tell you the straight truth, my apologies if you've led a sheltered life and it stings a bit. Toughen up, Sunshine.

            Nah. You just have shit social skills. Smart or not if you cannot relate to people and are condescending to them then you are going to be a lonely person. You will just have your smarts and your inflated ego to keep you company. Thats just what I see. Call me stupid or a peon if you want.

              Do I? Like I said, toughen up, Sunshine, the world isn't going to always wipe and powder your arse for you. In fact, one day you just may find it handed to you.

              It's really amusing that you can only view things through your own naive, myopic experience. I understand people quite well. I don't "relate" to them though, that sort of co-dependent idiocy isn't my style. And far from having no friends, my problems are more about how to exclude certain hangers on from my social circle.

              But, as always, you're free to put your belief in whatever helps you sleep at night. And THAT, is why I don't have sympathy for those of your ilk.

        Well it's always good to have another fan. What I've found is that my accent makes a lot of colonials think I'm gay, but believe me mate, those colonial women really go for it.

        I do have a handful of gay friends, of both (or many genders... according to them), but that goes with the territory of being in the business I'm in.

    That happened to me a couple of times. Normally I'm shy near to kids, I don't know why, but some kids are different, I can really relate to them. Maybe that's because I was always much protective of my younger brother.

    I don't think it's weird. Unless you've had sexual thoughts or his parents aren't comfortable with you doing this.

    Nothing wrong with this at all if you have no hidden agenda...which it sounds like you do not. Just be prepared for society to potentially target you as a predator. But if you really care about this kid then it shouldnt matter as long as there is no weirdness....if you know what i mean.
