People think oh it's only 3 years no big deal. 17 year olds are typically super immature. I still see 17 year old girls running around the mall with no money just being annoying yelling and being loud and just bothering people. I think 13-17 is a really crucial time for teens to find themself. Anything under 20 I wouldn't even bother. When I was 20 I'd probably stick to other 20 year olds, I'd just prefer the level social and personal responsibility level, and relatability. A lot happens in those 3 years

Yes , that's the perfect age difference.
Not smart. He is only looking at you for sex. Nothing else. Plus you're too young due to you being a minor and him an adult. Even if you wait till 18, guarantee it is about sex. There is a reason why he was warned not to. Because for 90% of men. It's always sex.
Yes, but I would be VERY wary. Don't let an adult take advantage of you.

DM and tell him you want to meet up so you can actually get to know. See where it goes. My guess is he's just not that interested or he would have pursued you in the first place. Don't you think a guy that has high interest would? Or do you think he's just incapable? And if so, my guess is you'd be bored out of your mind.
If he's being "influenced" by his peers not to date you, and he's listening to them, he's not worth the time. How stupid is that? When you're 20 and in college, dating a HS girl seems totally lame. But 3 years age difference is nothing. When he's 23 and you're 20, he'll kill to date you. So... lose him for now.
If he's smart he wouldn't. I'll be 20 in a month, and I refuse to date anyone under 18 because if im dating a girl I will be tempted to do things with her that people who are dating normally do. And if I was dating someone under 18 and made the mistake of going farther then I should and someone finds out. Then I'm fucked, because that's illegal. Its honestly just not worth the trouble of it. So I'd wait till she was 18 before even considering a relationship of any kind
As long as it's legal where you live (assuming there is sex involved), and it probably is, no problem. I don't think that age match would deter any man from dating someone.
If there is no sex involved, there is no issue, there shouldn't be any reason he wouldn't date you.Some of my high school classmates had boyfriends that age or older when they were 16 or 17. It's a bad idea, though.
I know a 17 year old girl who is dating a 26 year old.
Considering that I know it wouldn't be too far fetched.My parents did. Two years later and 11 months after they were married, I debuted!
In Brazil it is normal to see relationships between people of that age, including relationships where they already have children, I believe that in the USA it is prohibited, but as it is just a message I do not see anything strange.
Exaclty. I just answered someone's question with another question and kind of answered THAT question. It makes you sound smarter. That's what the fox says.
Its illegal in the states to date a 17 year old if your 19 and older
That's a case waiting to happen, no matter how much you like him. I know it must hurt, though, but let this one go...
Do whatever makes you happy. Even if you make mistakes, you'll still at least learn something.
Go ahead and text him but he may not be interested
Wait until you’re 18.
Yeah I do view it as right.
I would
Yeah
