im 17 im dating a27 yr old guy ? its ok? what do u think?

Answer 1

Never mind what other people think, how do you feel about it???

As long as you're happy and you're both in this relationship because you want to be together and love each other then I hope it lasts a long time for you :)

People rarely notice the age difference until you tell them anyway.

Answer 2

Clearly you are having doubts or you would not be asking this question.

The issue I have is (and I'm assuming you are not breaking age of consent laws in your locale) I wonder what he is thinking.

By the age of 27 a guy should have a career going, a nice car, a place of his own, a decent income, some good qualifications, and be relatively mature. So why would he want to date a child (and sorry, but legally you still are) who is still in high school?

To me this makes the guy seem like a loser, or at the very least immature. You may be a great catch, hot and lovely and wonderful. But again, why couldn't he find people in his own age group that wanted to be with him? Are you really so mature at 17 you have stuff in common with a 27 year old man?

So while it may be cool for you to date an older man, because he should have money and stuff and it may seem neat, I question where his head is at.

Answer 3

Well if you are 18, as gross as it is, you can date a 50 year old if you care to. But you are not 18...you are 17. You clearly have some doubts. If you are close to 18...like a few months I wouldn't worry about the age. But how is it affecting your relationship with your parents and your future? Does he love you? Would he stay with you if you did not have sex with him? Would he wait until marriage or at least until you are no longer a minor? Does he bring you around his family and friends? What does your inner intuition say about him? What do your parents think? I just don't want you to get messed up by some older creep...because you can easily fall in love with a person who wants to use you.

Answer 4

The 10 year age gap means different things depending on the ages due to life experiences. I'm not sure what you really have in common with this person. At 17 my interests and the person I was were completely different to who I was at 27.

Answer 5

I think you should ask about you're 27-yr old guy, what really his intention is to you. Does he really love you or something. You should better know more about this guy and erase your doubt. If you really know this guy, you wouldn't ask here if it is OK to date a 27 yr old guy.

Answer 6

As long as YOU are dating him for all the right reasons, then it is fine - the right reason would be LOVE, not because you need someone, to make someone jealous or to make your parent made - those would be the wrong reasons to date someone - and oh yea dating someone for sex too, isn't very cool

Answer 7

I'm an almost 20 year old woman dating a 30 year old woman since this past Valentine's Day.


It's okay as long as you're dating each other for the right reasons.

Answer 8

I'm not disgusted by it. I think it is strange that a 27 year old has to date a child. He must be a complete loser. But , hey, whatever floats your boat.

Answer 9

thats not ok. he's too old for you. a girl your age just likes to feel older and more womanlike. Dont forget that guys who go for girls that young are only after one thing.

Answer 10

I think its fine. BUT, what is he with you for? If its because you both genuinely like each other and are on the same wave length, then its cool. If he is in for the physical bit alone, not cool at all.
