I am 17 and this guy I am interested in is 21, we initially met on Instagram and we didnt know each others ages until a little while after we clicked (I look a bit older than I actually am and he can pass for a bit younger). Should I stop talking to him?

My friends made me feel as if he is too old, but we really clicked and I dont want to have to upset him.

Question

My friends made me feel as if he is too old, but we really clicked and I dont want to have to upset him.

Answer

Wait until you’re 18 before you do anything with him. If you guys click, you’ll click after you’re 18.

Answer

I'm 16 and my partner is 21. we've been together for three years now. I got so much judgement and criticism for the first year of our relationship and it was hard on both of us. My advice is just be cautious, get to know each other like you would going into any relationship and depending on laws in your country be careful of who you tell what.

Answer

Age gap isn't a big deal at all BUT you should think about the legality of it. Depending on where you live you should look into laws because in some places your relationship would be legal but having sex together could be illegal (statutory rape).

Answer

just don't sleep with him. if you're thinking about it, tell whichever adult(s) you live with because even though you are over the age of consent, if your guardians don't want you to be sleeping with him, there is still a chance he could get in trouble because he's over 18. after all, you do still live under their roof (probably)

Answer

I was 17 when I met my first love my first everything and he was 22 we dated for a year and off and on for 5 years after that...it has its challenges but even after all the bad break ups and heartache in the end I would change a thing

Answer

You’re still a minor so the age gap is too much. He should be looking at women his own age and not underage girls. That could land him in jail as a sex offender by fooling around with you. Wait til you’re of majority age or find someone your own age but leave this man alone.

Answer

my husband and I are 4 years apart but he waiting til I was 18 if it's real he can wait. There are a lot of complications that can come from you hooking up now for instances him having to register as a sex offender.

Answer

That's the age gap between myself and my husband and we started dating when I was 16. It's perfectly fine.

Answer

Just make sure you are legal. 
I was 18 with a 26 year old. It was one of the best relationships I was in.

Answer

I’m 17 my boyfriend is 20 
It’s up to you but look at what these other ladies are saying about it because you can really get into trouble with the different ages 
I have parents permission and the legal age to consent to anything where I live is 16 but that’s only if there is no more than a 4 year age gap and my bf and I are only 3 years and 7 months apart (I googled to make sure we were ok 😂😂)

I am 17 and this guy I am interested in is 21, we initially met on Instagram and we didnt know each others ages until a little while after we clicked (I look a bit older than I actually am and he can pass for a bit younger). Should I stop talking to him?
