Is it weird for me (female 15) to date a 17yr old

Iv been having this on n off relationship with this guy since August of 2020 it wasn’t rlly good at first ge put me through alot of stuff and i knew i needed better so i cut him off we started back talking in January of 2021 and i told my friends about this and they said it was weird he’s 17 but his birthday was in April i told them this but they still find it weird so is it?

The age gap would usually be fine, but you're below the age of consent and he isn't.
It will always be viewed as weird if only one of the partners is above the age of consent, and more weird because you're 2 years younger.

And, OP, it is for this reason that you need to be aware of his intentions. At that age, and even younger, his hormones are probably running wild. This isn't to say that anything will necessarily go wrong, though. It's just to give you a heads up.

Some general advice; never feel pressured to do anything you don't want to. It's okay to say no.

Hes put you through a load of stuff and yet your still wanting to date him? he sounds not a great person tbh

If dating implies a solely romantic and non-sexual relationship, then I guess it's okay as there's only a minor age gap between you. If dating implies a sexual relationship, then legally you should wait until you reach 16 and can consent to be in one.
If this guy has also been horrible to you, then I'd stay away from him tbh. Nothing good comes out of toxic relationships, especially at your age.

People on TSR are the sort of people who aren’t popular at a school and probably aren’t having much (if any) sex. They don’t live in the real world so don’t listen to them.

It is not weird at all, apply the 2 year rule and it is fine. There’s as reason your friends don’t care as it is normal.

I mean, the age gap is tiny really but your under 16 so he's basically doing bits with a minor and as grown as you may think you are, 15 is still a child therefore you cant consent.

The law is not nearly as clear cut as people think on issues like this.

One is under the age of consent, that is true. However, the other is under the age of 18 and therefore can't be charged for sex with a minor (or whatever the specific wording of the offence is) because the wording, in law, specifically describes, and I'm paraphrasing here, the 'offence boundary' as I'll call it, to be 18 or older.

So in essence, a 13 year old and a 17 year old can agree to have sex and be perfectly within the law because 17 year olds are in this odd boundary where they can 'consent' (age of consent is something misunderstood by most, there are two ages of consent, I'll explain in the next paragraph) but they can also have sex with someone under 16 as the sex with a minor charge can not be applied to them as they are under the age of 18.

As for consent. What do I mean there are two ages? Well...
You have the accepted age of consent, which is 16. Which is the age at which they can have consensual sex with an adult of any age and there's no risk of a charge being brought against the older party.

Then you have the age set by law, which is 13.

I could go on and explain it massively, but the short and simple version is that:
Sex with someone under the age of 16 but over the age of 12 is an act that can be charged with 'sex with a minor', whereas sex with someone under the age of 13 is 'rape of a child'.

In other words, the lack of 'rape' for the offence of having sex with a 13-15 year old means that the true age of consent is actually 13.

The under 16 law is largely there to protect these maturing teenagers from older adults looking to exploit their newfound curiosity for sex. A 18 year old is highly unlikely to see a charge for having sex with a 15 year old, if any court would take the case at all. A 30 year old however, would likely be charged. It's one of those laws where the actual enforcement doesn't follow the law to the letter.
