My Bf is 17

Anonymous #1

I'm 20 in a month. I'm worried i'm to old for him. I'm I just worry for nothing? :confused:

When is he 18?

Er, I'm a person who thinks age gaps *can* be too big quite easily. Nevertheless, 17 + 20 is fine. Don't worry about it.

Personally, I wouldn't go out with a guy who was that much younger than me... but each to their own.

If your relationship is good and you are both getting along fine I dont see a problem!

If you are worried then obviously thre is something wrong. I don't think your owrry is justified, but it is there all the same and you need to look into it's source. Is it purely that you are worried that others think that it is wrong. Or maybe there is something else.

why does age matter at all in relationships? (as long as you're not underage, that is... that could result in jail term and a large boyfriend named Otis).

All that matters is love and trust... from BOTH the sides! Thats all thats needed!

I don't think you have anything to worry about as long as you are both happy with each other. Only 2 yr gap since he's turning 18 this year.

We might think that that age gap is fine, or we might think it's too much. I may think differently to someone else... only you can tell if it is too much. If you're happy then who cares about age difference? As long as you and your bf are happy, it's fine.

My friend is 25 and she has a baby with a 20 year old. I don't see the problem. If you were 30 and he was 27 i don't think you would be thinking anything of it, it's just because at 17 it seems quite young, but you have nothing to worry about IMO.

Depends how mature you are. Girls, once they are older (or like in my case, ever since they start to get interested in boys) usually only want one relationship that lasts forever and marry and have babies. Teenagers, and esp. 17 year old boys, are not really the type to want the same thing.

So yeah it depends on whether you both want the same. Looking at the people my age, most relationships don't last longer than 6 months so it's not really worth it. I'm inclined to think this won't last.

This isnt a dig, I'm sure your point is valid, but is love n trust really the only thing that matters? how bout maturity? I was with this girl for ages, and at first I put her imaturity down to her age and inexperience (she was 18 and I was her first serious boyfriend). Unfortunately after a year she was still really imature, I cared for her deeply and trusted her but I just couldnt cope with her acting like a spoiled kid.

Anyone else had that problem? Im sure in my case age had nothing to do with it, I know plenty of girls/blokes younger than me who are very mature.

I think that as long as you two don't mind, then it's fine. I'm three years older than my gf and we get along great. Been together for 16 months now (17 on Wednesday.)

Age gaps are evil barriers. Ignore them (within reason). If everyone's legal then it's nobody else's business how old you are.

my rule for women is age >= n/2 + 7 where n is my age. which would imply that your rule is age=< 2(n-7) where n is your age. This situation is all good :biggrin:

I just turned 19 and I was kinda seeing a 21 year old lately. I would suggest if anything I was far more mature than she was, so discount all that talk of age in my opinion. If this guy is mature enough then I don't see why you couldn't make a good go of it :smile:

Afterall, age is but a number... well up to a cetain point :rolleyes:
