    when I was in middle school a bunch of the girls were dating guys in college

    Damn what the hell. When were you in school? I was one of the few people in middle school dating at all, and it didn't cross age gaps. Only in high school (2012-16) it became more common, and junior/senior pairs became senior+college student when one graduated.

      Like 2004. A bunch might be exaggerating, just stands out in my mind now because it was insanely weird and we just kind of accepted it.

        Huh, I think I remember one relationship out of our grade and otherwise everyone dated within their year. Roughly same time period
