17 dating someone 22? Please respond!

Question

So, I am 17 years old and I have been talking to a guy that is 22 years old. He is a great guy. He lives with his 70 year old grandmother and takes care of her. I have strong feelings for him. I am just curious of people's opinions on this. Nice or harsh. Also, if I do begin to date him how should I tell my parenta about his age? Please leave responses!

Answer

18 and dated an almost 26 year old. I don't think age effects anything but let me tell you I may have been the younger one but I acted way more mature than he did. He had an amazing job, nice truck, basically everything but he only thought of himself. So just make sure that yours and his mature level is the same and it should be fine!

Answer

When I first started dating my now husband I was 17 and he was 22. Now  I'll be 21 in a few days and he turned 25 this January. There's nothing wrong with that age difference as long as you are comfortable with it and you love each other.

Answer

That's  not a bad age gap. Guys often mature later. X

Answer

Im 19 and my fiance is 35 now. We have been together since we were 16 and 32. Its perfectly fine

Answer

Even if you have feelings for him, I think you should wait. There is a 5 year age gap between my boyfriend and I. (I am 20; he's 25) He first asked me out when I was 17 and he 21, but I said no. I glad I did. I enjoyed high school, and I dated other guys. Those high school relationships prepared me for the relationship with him now. He asked me out again when I was 18. Now we have been together for almost two years.

Answer

I was 17when I started dating my husband and he was 23. 11 years later celebrating our second wedding anniversary and first baby!!

Answer

My boyfriend was 21 and I was 16 when we met. He's 24 and I'm 20 now and engaged. I don't see anything wrong with it

Answer

I'm 17, and my fiancé is turning 24 in August. I don't think that everyone can handle an age gap like that, but if you're mature enough and you guys click well then do whatever you please. Age of concent is usually 16 and in some states even 15. Be prepared to loose friends and possibly family though. People will have strong feelings about it.

Answer

It's fine, your parents will probably be fine with it as long as he is a good guy and not a bad influence on you ;)

Answer

I once dated a guy that was 7 years older than me, sometimes age isn't a problem if you are both u derstanding of needs and each others personalities, if you care about him and he cares about you there shouldn't be any problems
