I wouldn't be happy. Young girls tend look to older guys for approval or a feeling of maturity. Then they end up getting talked into stuff they would never do otherwise. If the guys likes her whats wrong with being friends until she at least graduates from high school?

I wouldn't be overly happy about it but would try and be supportive all the same. We both know that someone's going to end up with a broken heart here and it will probably be your 17 year old daughter so you'll need to be there for her when this happens. Until then you can talk with her till your blue in the face and she will still report that she knows what's she's doing etc. So all you can really do is watch what is happening and ask her to be careful as he is pretty much older than her at present.

I would not be happy. My parents had a 14 year difference and it did not work (lasted 5 years). I personally think that a 5 year difference is ideal. Don't forbid her to see him that will only encourage her to keep on dating him but to explain to her that it will make a difference when she is 47 and really in the prime of her life he will be 70 and MAY be in the need of a nurse, waitress and constant caregiver. In time it could wear her out.

Not real good, I would be wary of the guy since he is going back to the dating scene in a highschool atmosphere. Granted the daughter might like him because he is older but he needs to at least find a girl that has graduated from highschool or at least wait till she does

This guy is just out of his teens. As long as you have instilled some common sense into your daughter (and make sure that you let the boy know where you stand), I don't see a problem with it.
Teenagers just can't wait for adulthood - it's a shame that sometimes it ends up in parenthood.

She should be 18 and he should respect that. If everyone in the world lived by the golden rule(treat people the way you would like to be treated)(do unto others as you would like done to yourself) what a great world this would be.

i'm no longer likely to pretend to be great experienced or something, or to understand him or your daughter. surely, i'm a 17 y/o woman in simple terms like your daughter. besides the indisputable fact that, i understand somewhat or 2 approximately teenage women and the way we paintings. You stated that she incredibly loves him, however the situation is that maximum of females our age fall in love incredibly surely. I "enjoyed" a guy whom I dated for some weeks and who dealt with me like crap as quickly as we broke up. in my view, i think of a 10 year age hollow is far too great. stable guy or no longer, the trouble-free actuality continues to be that he says he will love her and each little thing, besides the indisputable fact that it variety of feels extra that he in simple terms needs a candy little virgin. What do you think of he's somewhat going to do whilst they get married and "delight in" their honeymoon? She's no longer speaking to you for some days, yet you're nevertheless her daddy. i did no longer confer with my mom for some days after she complained that my boyfriend is in simple terms too previous (he's in simple terms 19). She'll communicate to you returned, have confidence me. If i exchange into on your place, i might in simple terms clarify to her that i do no longer think of she is emotionally mature adequate (which i will in simple terms approximately a hundred% assure she isn't. inspite of the indisputable fact that, returned, i do no longer understand her) to be relationship somebody that lots older than her. i'm hoping this helps a splash.

As long as your daughter is responsible and mature enough to be responsible around her boyfriend. not all men are out there to get into bed with girls, half of the time they help their girlfriends to come out of trouble especially caused by peer pressure because they have been thewre and have experience with most of teh things that girls get up to. you should learn to trust your daughter and do noy judge her behaviour based on her boyfriend because you raised her to know better. if you doubt her it means you doubt yourself and the way you raised her.

i guess it would depend on the man, try to get to know him before judging him, it is common for girls to look up to older men. how does he treat her? is he respectful? independent? honest? does he work or attend college? what is his plans for the future? is he good to her? r they sexually active? i would definately have a talk with him of his intentions toward ur daughter

Well, let's be realistic. Seventeen in most states is of legal age. What can you do? If you tell her that you don't approve is it really going to make a difference if she really likes him? Try to be optimistic and be thankful that he isn't any older.
