This is said from experience.............
Right now it is fine, fantastic, great and goooooooo for it.
But check the laws in your state first until you turn 18. Some states you are considered a legal adult at 17 and in others your not.
Or just date the guy and abstain from sex until you are 18. If a man in his late 20's can do that. And if he cares about you then he will.
But be aware that in a few years the age difference IS going to make a difference.
You will out grow each other in many ways.
One of which will be sexually. Right now you are both interested in sex but in a few years when you are at your sexual peak he will be on a down hill slide.
And do not kid yourself into thinking that it will be ok because it wont.
Another thing that will change is that you will be ready to explore things and he will be ready to just sit around the house a relax.
And there will be other issues that yall will disagree on because of the age difference.

I don't want to be the one to say your not really in love, but it's probably true. As you get older, age differences don't matter quite as much, but at your age, you are too young to be with someone that age. Even though guys don't mature as fast as girls, by the time they are 27, they have a lot more life experience and maturity than you do at 17. I used to think I was mature enough at 17 to get married and have a baby, and now I am 28 and have only been married a couple years and are still waiting to have a baby, I look back at my life at 17 and I am sooooo glad I waited.
So...my advice...date around, and enjoy being a teenager still and a life without real adult responsibilities.

Yes its OK it just happens to be illegal now unless you want this fella in jail gettin butt raped for touchin jail bait (and that is what you are) I would think you should want to wait till you are 18 then you can pursue him with no worry I would not tell him at this time either since you can't even be in the race So wait till your legal and try and catch him like a Pokemon ten years is a big age spread but it is not impossible to have things in common with a person 10 years your senior Good Luck!!! Byahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

At the modern age that we are in. Why should age still be a factor? However, given your age, the problem prob be your parents. I dun think most parent can accept their daughter going out with someone 10 years older. In a few years, when you step out to the working work, 10 years would not be that much of a problem then.

Dang girl you only have 1 year before its not against the law that way he wont go to jail so just wait a bit.

I was 17 engaged to a 27 year old. Things are gonna change. Believe me, we didn't get married. Becareful. Your 17 not outta your partin days yet. He's almost 30, ready to settledown and start family, or he might be almost ready. You still have college and your future to look forward too. He's already had those days. Things will get tricky.

Age is just a number, falling in love happens in the strangest moments in your life. but unless your parents are aware and are cool with the idea then I could give yourself space from him until you are 18.
