31year old man and 17 year old girl?

It's possible, but probably not preferable due to possible legal issues and maturity level mismatches. If those are non-issues then I say go for it. If you just want to date, have fun, and aren't looking to get too serious, then it should be a good experience.

My gut reaction is that it's sad. It's sad that a 31-year-old can't find anyone else to date. He may say you're mature for your age but there's just no accounting for experience. He's almost twice as old as you. I doubt that he's in love with you as much as what you represent. This isn't to insult you or him. You're flattering each other but as people you have no basis for connection.

I don't mean to be ageist or discriminate, but it's unfair of him to stop you at such a young age from finding other people your age who can better understand your romantic development. He's playing on a different level and it's going to end in tears.

hi ,
personally I dun think it is a problem,
because I m dating a 30 years old guy and I have 21 year old ,
n now it will depends how you feel about him , if you think it might be a good try and both of you were single .
why not give it a try ?
good luck

My 1rst reaction is gross and how sad. I mean I guess love is love, but its really really strange. There is so much of a maturity difference and life experience difference between the ages. The girl is too young to make a decision like that.
