I have known people that have been in relationships like this but always with the girl being so young and the guy being much older. What do I do? Is it wrong to like him? Is it wrong to be in a relationship with him?

 i see nothing wrong with it as long as he is of legal age. If you like him, he likes you, and you guys have fun together go for it.FWIW I am 51 and my bf is just going to be 38 we are a bit more than 13 years apart and I'm the older one...

You identify as being in the U.K. and as such 16 is the age by which most cultures (ie. almost any country besides America) deem you capable of having sex with someone.
If you or he are 16 or over, you will have no legal troubel... morally, it's a different story, but that depends much on you.

 Technically there's nothing "wrong" with it as long as you don't do anything sexual. However 17 year olds are still boys, who have yet to mature. I think you may find it a little difficult to relate to him until he grows up a bit. This is just an assumption though, so take it with a grain of salt :)

 What exactly is wrong with it? No one can tell you how to feel or how not to feel, you are free to be with anyone you want. Just make sure you wait until he's over 18 if you ever have sex.
I hope that helps.
