If you were 18 and legal age I would say ok..but you are 17...He is 27..He has lived so much more of life than you have..has matured much more..Hon..If this is meant to be, then wait til you are 18..and old enough to legally be dating him..  |

Due to his age and yours I would say hold things off till you are 18 legal age,10 years is not that big of a difference my friends mom and dad had a 10 yr age difference and they had a great relationship.  |

I 29 years old when I married my wife. She was 17. We've been married for 18 years. Still as a father I would want my daughters to wait. You dont really know him. He could bad news for all you know... 27 year old guys can be slick and dangerous. I know, I use to be one of them! LOL  |

Thanks so much for your advice everyone :). And don't worry, I know if I did get involved with him I'd be careful...I know the signs of a guy that's only after one thing, I see them all the time! Thanks again everyone :)  |

ok this is my personal opinion... i don't find it right... it's a very large age diffences.. your still a minor(legal issues there) and i don't think it's right when the youngest person is soo young(your still a teen) if you were 5 or 10 years older it wouldnt be as much of an issue becuase then you have a few years of adult life under your belt(the difference between 18 and 23 there are SOOOO MANY life instances you learn and soo many life lessons you learn and how to be independant... those 5 years heck even 3 if done on your own is there difference between a teen/kid and an adult) he is in a completely different spot in his life then you are(i'm not saying your a kid or anything but there are vast diferences) it's not something i would want my child to do(male or female older person or younger)  |

I'm like Ranger X. I'm forty and my bride will be twenty next month. We've been married for almost two years and we're very happy together. I think you should wait until your birthday, though. Don't rush it.  |

Thanks again everyone :). Hmmm, I'm getting some mixed views here...I still don't know what to do! lol. I'll be 18 in about 6 months so it's not THAT long to wait. But I don't know what I'm going to do until then...it's going to be weird not making any moves on him or anything. Hmmmm. Keep the opinions coming :D |

(This is Zayden,just using Becky's computer since I am in colorado,and didn'twant to mess up her settings)... However, 10yr difference to me isn't really all that big a deal, the only real problem is age in that you are still 17. Basically, the only thing I would do, is hold off until you are18, and if then the two of your are still interested in pursuing a more intimate or involved relationship do so! --Zayden  |

If it's meant to be, then it will happen. Just wait till your of age so you won't get into problems. Your Ages don't matter that much. Just be Patient and go with the flow no need to rush things. |

well if ya dont ya know....do *things* with him tell your 18 then your fine. He sounds sweet and I'd say go for it. My mom is newly 39 and she is dating a guy newly 29. Neither knew the others age when they met (through my moms sisters friends) and well now their living together (god I hate his kids...) anyways I'd say go for it :)  |

lol....i was confused there for sec..but be friends maybe for a little bit and see how it goes..and then maybe when you turn 18 you guys can date...dont want to be getting in trouble for being under age and dating him. But also make sure it would be a good relationship and him not wanting one thing....*huggs*  |

If you were 18 I would see no prob with this at all. He doesn't seem like a perv the way you describe him he seems nice an caring. Most of the time when theres this much of an age difference ppl assume the guys a perv. My husband and I are 4 years apart I was married at 19 he was 23. Get this his parents are 24 years apart yep I said 24 years. His mom met and married his dad when she was 24 he was 48. Yet even with an age difference you can tell they love and were meant for each other. But for the sake of not getting him into trouble with the law or anything like that I would wait till your eighteen. If he does feel the same about you he will wait until your next b-day. I hope everything works out for you :) Love and Hugs,  |

I just read your reply where you'll be 18 in six months and your right that's not a long wait at all. I say go to the movies as friends go shopping as friends things like that until your eighteen and can legally be with him. Hope some of this helps :) Love and Hugs, |

If you really care about the guy you'll wait till your 18. It's against the law for him.  |

Thanks so much for your advice everyone :). I would never want to get him in trouble, and I know I should probably wait until I'm 18 to be more than friends with him...but that's going to be so hard! It's hard to be "just friends" with someone like him :(. But thanks again everyone :) |

I guess I have a really hard time wondering what a 27 year old man would want hanging around with a bunch of younger people like 17 or 18 year olds. I'm 30 and I don't think I would be hanging out with people this age, even though I am still very young at heart, my world is so much different being an adult. does he have a job like a normal man that is almost 30? I don't know...I would tend to think there is something wrong with someone this age that hangs out with the younger crowd.  |

Anabel, I do know what you mean...I thought about the same thing until I realized it's not really that HE hangs out with a bunch of younger people, it's just that *I* hang out with a lot of older people. If that makes sense, lol. And he works at Cessna...if he didn't have a job at his age I would probably think something was wrong with him too! LOL, thanks for your comment :) |

you sure you want to end up with someone ten years older than you? would you go out with a seven year old? falling in love with a twenty seven year old at seventeen is the easiest way to flush your opportunities down the toilet. just my opinion  |

I'm not really expecting to marry him and father his child...I just feel like we have a good thing going and I don't want to spend my life wondering what might have been. And I certainly wouldn't date a 7-year-old, lol, but that's different. Just like if I was 30 and he was 40, nobody would have anything against us being together. Anyway, thanks for your opinion :) |
