I told one of my friends that I liked a guy in our college class.The thing is that I'm 23 and he is 17...I told her I was embarrassed about it and that I couldn't help how I felt. I had to tell someone so I chose her. She started saying that age was just a number and I should go for it. I would, but I'm not so sure about the guy.Anyway...Guess what? She told him. She didn't tell me that she told him but its so obvious that she did. My other friend keeps saying that he keeps looking at me in class. He's making more small talk, he's teasing yet before he wouldn't...I like him...I hope he likes me too. He isn't coming in so much anymore, but then neither is everyone else. I class has lost the drive it had.I think if he liked me he would be in more...Making an effort ha ha!Oh well...Anyway its probably better that I should be patient...Do you guys think there is a chance? Its only 6 years difference?He is flirting too :-)

 he's 17 and you are 23
here that would be illegal...at least till he was 18
truth is, 17 yr old boys want very different things most of the time than 23 yr old women....
there's a chance but it will take time to see if it will work out.
personally when I was 23 my fiance was a whopping TEN....
time changes everything.

 Really depends what you want to do. I think if you're that serious about getting to know him then you should at least engage in some small talk and go out of your comfort zone to get to know him.
If he's like most 17 year old boys then he'll be really excited at the prospect of a (slightly!) older woman chasing him. I can't comment on him specifically but you have to be aware that most teenagers are not very grounded so I wouldn't jump into this thinking he's looking for a life long partner and will not be playing around. Again I'm just generalizing here but you have to be careful with hormone filled teenagers!
I think once you get to know each other you will know where to take it.

 Hi
I dont think this would be a wise situation. As you say his only 17, he is very much in his adolecent years, so the only thing thats is on his mind right now is his school, and his hormones. there would be no future in this relationship. I know boys today look and act much older than they are, but honestly they are not. You should put this down to experience and move forward, find someone who is more your own age group. also I would next time talk to someone you CAN trust, as your friend obviously did speak of what you told her, and I find that very childish behaviour.
hope this helps
