You see, most of the girls are attracted to older men because, an older male can understand you in more ways than a male who is the same age as you. Because they are more experienced and yeah. Like I said, as long as there is love, it shouldn't be a problem for both of you.

 well that is a bit of a big age difference and as the other replys say it is illigal to have sex before your 18 and maybe he is just a perv lookin out for young girls as your self but the same time i know a couple that have a 8 years difference and still goin out after 3 years so i cant be the judge for anything... any ways if you like him tell him to wait and if he says yes well i guess that he is really just a good guy but if not well then he is just a guy with a closed mind but hey if you like and he likes you does the age difference matter at all?
well luck!

 You're at a different stage of life than he is, and he has nearly a decade of life experience more than you. Generally when older men are interested in a teenage girl, it's for one main reason: they aren't as emotionally mature as women their own age, and find it easier to impress and take advantage of those much younger than them due to seeming more mature in comparison. They get away with more and get further than they would with one of their peers because being the older one in the relationship, they're mistakenly believed to know more and know what's best.

 I know someone who was 17 when they started dating a 28 year old,they are still together and in love. However, realize that its illegal until you're 18

 I think if you have to ask this question, you are answering it for yourself. Why are you asking this? because you feel there's something wrong with the age difference? Because family/friends feel something wrong?In theory, no. There is nothing wrong with the age difference.In reality, yes. He will likely take advantage of you and your insecurities. But since i do not know the guy and the full situation, i will give him the benefit of the doubt, and leave that as a warning that no matter how sure you are he wont do it, there is always the viable chance it may happen.imo, what is wrong is that you are only 17. You need to be with someone your own age who has had similar experiences. In my opinion.Nick.
