Ugh. Been there, made that mistake! We were just about exactly the same age difference - it ended in disaster and thank God for that because I'm 33 now and can't imagine what he'd look like nekkid. Ew.
Seriously though, there are a few things to consider. Are your parents OK with this? If they aren't they can make BIG trouble for him and if you do love him, you don't want him to have to register as a sex offender for your sake. Also - is this really what you want? Are you with someone that much older because you are trying to fill a void that your dad left (that was me...) or because he's persuading you? You don't realize how young you are - I thought I was all grown up but of course I wasn't. I left everything behind to be with that loser and I regret it every day of my life. Just keep your eyes open, girl. Best of luck to ya.

Age is not only a number but an indication of the amount of life experience. A 26 year old who truely had feelings for a 17 year old would respect that person enough not to get involved with them until they had a chance to live a little.Nine years is not a big deal when they are
30 and 39 but at these ages it is a major difference. There is a reason it is illegal for adults to have relationships with minors.

At 26 HE is an adult, he should seek the company of adults not children. At 17 you are still a child...you should seek the company of other children. When you are older the age difference won't matter as much but right now there is a huge gap between your ages.

Honestly, as much bashing you might get from other people for the difference, I think that as long as you're both happy then it shouldn't matter too much. If you're mature and realize that the difference is always going to affect your relationship.
Just be careful, make sure he's got good intentions.
Don't get too involved too fast.
I'm 17 and my boyfriend is 23years old. We're madly in love and that's all that matters as far as that.

it can be but make sure it's stay between you and him ! but make sure he don't label you as something your not. if you get what i mean. but other wise becareful in make sure he don't push you to do something you don't when to do. that is if you still have it. but don't tell no one ! and please don't let him break your heart . even the older guy's can hurt you even if you have been in a relationship because the age diff can really make you wounder about him. goood luck!!! p.s like if he's the one for me and do he really love me or not don't get Court up!

will not work, it will suck for you, he has already "lived" has more experience. he will want to settle down whey you barely want to live life! he will have the CONTROL, and when one person has more control, it is not a healthy relationship.
