It's not that big of a differance-not even ten years. If you are compatable, you are compatable. Follow your heart Some 17 year olds can be very confident and responsible in their lives (depends how they were brought up) but, I would suggest you wait a couple of years to give both of yourselves a chance to know what you really want. A 17 year old is just starting out in life and should find more independence and see a bit of the world, or at least getting a good education so they can decide what they want to do for a living. Women have changed, and many want careers. I wouldn't give up on each other, but because you are older you should have a lot more wisdom ... use it! Don't rush things. You are not only making a decision for yourself, but also for the person you love.
No if you are an adult.
No not at all, if they are on the same maturity level as you, it shouldn't be a big deal. Age doesn't make a difference, feelings do!
A 3-year age difference is not considered significant when it comes to dating if both individuals are at least 18 years old. However, if one person is under the age of 18, it may be viewed as problematic due to potential legal implications and maturity levels.
Normally yes this is too big of an age gap at these ages, because of the difference in maturity levels.People at this are unable to see the maturity difference, so it can be hard to convince someone of this. When they are older, they will understand better.Be sure to consult the local laws regarding Age Of Consent.Discuss the matter with parents/guardians, school counselor, and/or religious leader. Another answer:that is not all thhat big of an age gap although if you are having sex with him that is illagle you really need to talk to your parents
It depends on if you are sexually active and what state you live in
The age difference isn't really bad, it depends more on the maturity level of the both of you. If you're compatible then go for it, but you must recognize that you are at different places right now in life. The difference obviously isn't that big but it can interfere with your relationship.
It is best if you are the same age, but some people have a difference between one year with the boyfriend the eldest. I think that any more than two years is just ridiculous. The only problem with going out with someone older is the maturity especially if you are bwlow 16 and they are either at or older because they are allowed to do things you aren't and it can put you in some bad situations.
The age difference is big... maturity is a factor that needs to be covered in this relationship. You may not be able to handle it. But if you love her, then go for it! It'll be okay either way....talk to her about it, maybe. It probably will not work because of the age difference. She is still in school and you are old enough to work. You will not have much time for each other which will bring problems of trust into the relationship. Arguments are easily started and resentment kicks in over silly little things. I would say go for someone the same age as yourself then you are on the same level of maturity. You would both be free to do what you want when you want.
so what its not that big of a deal unless its a crazy age difference. so what its not that big of a deal unless its a crazy age difference.
It is a bit strange with that big an age difference. There is such a large difference in maturity levels and experiences.
Although there is not a legal age I do recommend 11 or 12. Depends on maturity. 10 and under is a big no-no. Take a course first
The size of an age gap is subjective and depends on the individuals involved. Factors such as maturity levels, life stages, and compatibility play a role in determining if an age gap is too big. It's important to assess these aspects to see if the relationship can thrive despite the age difference.
