alright, first of all, i just want to say that i personally don't think there's anything wrong with a 17-year-old dating a 14-year-old. i've been there, and even though there were some nay-sayers who didn't approve of our relationship, we had our parents' okayy, we weren't sexually involved, and we really and truly cared about each other. as long as you guys do the same thing, you'll be fine. really, i don't get why people make such a big deal about age differences in teenage relationships. for one thing, it seems like all the adults are always saying stuff like, "ohh, it's just teenage love; it won't last," and for another, age differences won't matter once you're an adult, soo why in the world should it matter when you're a teenager??? ANYWAYS...now, onto the part of my response that's actually relevant to the question. ")
i think your idea of asking her to the prom before you tell her you like her is GREAT!!! let's face it--every girl looks forward to her prom, and getting to go to somebody else's prom ahead of time is even better!!! and if she agrees to go with you and you hold out until that night, you can always tell her during the prom and make it really cute and romantic--say, while you're slow-dancing or when you walk her up to her door at the end of the night. the possibilities are pretty much endless, really--just use your imagination and take advantage of the magic of prom. ")
good luck, and God bless,

 I just want to say that im not against dating an older man or woman but the teen years are iffy. 1 year apart- perfectly fine, 2 years apart- a bit iffy but still ok but 3 years apart from 14 to 17 is really iffy and can create serious problems. First of all you're next b-day you'll be legally old enough to have sex and she still has 4 years to go; and not to mention what hell her parents might raise finding out that their 14 year daughter is dating a 17 year old guy. But hey im not gonna tell you what to do; if your that passionate about it well then good hunting.
