If you have to ask this question then maybe, someway, it really does matter to you.

!!!!YES!!!! When it is that big of a difference age does matter! Trust me when you are 31, think about dating a 17 year old and you will want to vomit! I am 21 and wouldn't even think about dating a 17 year old! Sweetie this guy is bad news. Seriously! You may think he is nice, and sweet and cute and he takes you places and buys you things but he knows how to manipulate you into believing he is an ok guy. I am genuinely scared for you. This guy is a perv and could be put in jail for being your "Boyfriend". He isn't a boyfriend he is a petifile. He should be on some sex offender list somewhere... How do you know he isn't?... Food for thought. If I knew your parents I would tell them what was going on so they could stop you. What if you get pregnant? Do you really think he would stick around? NO. Even if he said he would. He would be gone so fast it would make your head spin. Take care of yourself hun, be safe.

When you are 31 are you really going to want to hang out with 17 year olds?

Yes. First of all you are legally too young for this relationship. That being said, that many years really does make a difference. My first husband was 24 years older than me. I met him when I was 21. After 10 years together (7 of them married) and the birth of a son, I realized that we were at different places in our lives. He had already done things in life that I still wanted to do and he just couldn't go back and I couldn't go forward and miss those things. My current husband is 2 years younger than me and we are "living life together", not 20 years apart.

The younger you are, the more age matters. And a difference of ten years is significant at any age.
You and your boyfriend are at very stages in your lives, and therefore probably have little in common. In addition to that, you are still a minor, so any physical activity (or even just suggestive conversation) between you is illegal. He is at risk for molestation and statutory rape.
If you really care about him, refuse to see him again until you turn 18. If he really cares about you, he'll wait; if he doesn't, he's probably just been using you for your firm young body. Sorry, honey; but don't worry, there are many other guys out there for you who are much closer to you in age and interests.

Age doesn't matter, but in a few years you may find that you have grown up and figured out more about yourself. The only thing I'd be worried about is the laws associated with your age when he first met you. A 30 year old dating a 16 year old can be considered a crime in most parts of the country.

I would understand is he was 21,but 31 that is old for you. Your 17, you have a whole life ahead of you. Live your life, because he already lived his. To him it may not matter is you already gave it up to him, and as long you keep giving it to him , he won't care as long as he gets some. But age in your case does matter.

At your age, I would have to say yes. Your still in high school. You have so much learning and growing up to do. He's already done all his schooling and partying. He's working. He's probably looking to settle down now and start a family. If not now, then you can guarantee that he'll be ready a lot sooner then you would be.
I would find someone who's closer to your age.

Well, I'm 31 and my step-daughter is 17, so you've given me the scariest thing I could have seen on Halloween.
If you're having sex, it's illegal on his part, and if your parents or someone else reports this, he'll be registered as a sex offender for the rest of his life, meaning that he wouldn't even be able to take your future children trick or treating. I'd be careful.

In your case; YES!, age is a big difference. there is much to much difference between you. Your looking for a father figure and he's only looking for someone he can control. Your perfect for that at your age. If you get involved with him your going to end up living his life rather than as a couple. You would not marry the same person at age 25 as you would to day. Wait; dump him, he's only looking for a trophy
