You are not too young.
However, if sex becomes an issue of desire between the two of you, please make yourself aware of your local laws concerning age of sexual consent as you may need to wait until you are eighteen years of age. If you do not wait, then he will put himself at serious legal risk of arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment.
Be wise, be patient, and be accountable and responsible, and you will do fine.

Yes, 17 is way to young to be dating a 25 year old man. Eight years might not mean much when you are 25 and he is 33. But sorry to say I don't believe the maturity level between those two ages could ever work outside the bedroom.

I can't tell you one way or another. I can tell you that from experience ( I was 18 dating a 23 year old man), the maturity level was not that different. We had fun together. It was difficult when he wanted to go out clubbing and I couldn't join him. I had a lot of trust issues.
Also, be open minded and be careful, he may only be interested in sex. I have been in those situations too, however that was with a guy a lot closer to my age. Just keep your eyes open and be careful.
I did end up marrying the guy I was dating. I got married at 19, he was 24. We have been together for 10 years now and have 2 kids. So you see, I cannot tell you that he is too mature for you or that you aren't ready for that kind of relationship.
Good Luck in what ever it is you decide to do.
Also, introduce him to your parents and see what they have to say about him. They will have their opinions and keep an open mind.....parent's do know more than kids give them credit for. Weigh their opinion honestly, ask your friends what they think of him. Use these resources wisely, don't just toss their opinion out the window. Again good luck!

8 years is a big difference. In most places 18 is the age of majority and he could get into trouble should you become physically intimate. I am 25 and I wouldn't date a 17 year old, I'm in a very different place in my life than a 17 year old is. I can't say for sure, because I'm not you, but if you do, proceed with caution.

Yes, it's illegal. Of course even if you were eighteen I think you would be too young to date a 25 year old. What is wrong with this guy that he wants to date someone in high school?

Yes you are too young for a 25 year old, go for an 18 year old

Speaking from experience, when I was 17, I dated a 23 yr old guy. We weren't that different in maturity levels, but as far as sex was concerend, he really was more than I was ready for. Know that a 25 yr old guy IS going to want to have sex with you, and will more than likely be more experienced than you and that can be scary. There's also going to be places that he's able to go that you can't yet because of age. Some things to think about. Be careful whatever you decide. :)

i say yes...cuz you live in different worlds he probably has a job and lives on his own your still in high school hell you can't even drive past what 11pm? also he can go to bars and things like that you can't you won't be able to take him to prom or any dances cuz most high school don't' allowed any one over 21
my bf is 21 and im 19 we are a year and 8 months apart and it sux right now he can go to bars i can't. and for a while when he graduated and i was going to start my Jr. year so i was 17 we couldn't hang out late or do anything cuz i had school. i think age still counts til your both over 21 you guys can be friends but don't try for anything else til your at least graduated then it will be hard but not as bad

I'll just say this: You'll understand when YOU'RE 25 how differently you'll look at the world, and the people in it. You guys really have nothing in common. You're in two different phases of your life, and they're big phases.
My suggestion? Go for someone no older than 20.
Good luck.
