    Your legal he's legal, there’s no age problem, other than the fact he might be a creep (not saying he will be).

    The main difference between 17 and 23 isn't the years, it's the difference between adolescence and adulthood. The difference between ages 12 and 16 is only four years, and you can't tell me there's not a world of difference between you at 12 and you now.

    If your not ready for sex as part of a relationship just stay friends.

    If my 17 yr old daughter met a 23 yr old she was interested in dating then I'd say Fine.
    I personallly think that girls should date older guys ...definitely.'
    mamaboogie and smiling mama are working out of their mama boxes which can grow quit small when little ones are still flitting about the house.
    I actually encourage my 3 daughters to not date their age of boys because they age boys are goofy compared to girls their age..You're 17. Use your head and pick your advice as best you can.
    Peace&Love

    no, I'm not coming from the point of view of a mama, my kids are very young. I'm coming from the point of view of someone who used to be 16 and was dating a 24 year old man. Not just one, but several of my boyfriends in highschool, even jr high, were in their mid-twenties because exactly what you said, teenaged girls seem to be and think they are more mature than teenaged boys. But, certain adult men prey on girls who think they are grown up and mature enough to enter into adult relationships, but lack the experience to recognize the sharks out there. Of those ex-boyfriends of mine, several are now on the sex offender list for my state, and not for statutory rape, either. The rest just haven't been caught doing anything wrong, yet.

    Sorry, but I note most adolescent responses are 'go to it,' most older are(female), 'be thoughtful.' So be thoughtful. The only one who can take care of you at 17 is you. You know what you want. You know what danger is. You are capable of a great future - just don't ruin it. I would agree that 17 year old boys are not emotionally equivalent to their counterpart females. But the age difference in males ain't so much between 17 and 23. 23 year olds still think farts are funny, still think sex is love, still worry about the size of their dorks, still can't see beauty outside of large breasts, still.....(see the beer can wrap ad on TV!) I'll grow up in a couple a years, but no hurry. Be thoughtful and remember you're about a grown woman![​IMG]

    agreed. there's something wrong with a 23 year old that wants to hit up minors. Either girls his own age won't take him or he wants someone he can easily manipulate. Or maybe not. But my 23 year old hunny would agree with me on this. Guys that age hitting up girls that young equal freaks. but I know at your age what a tastey older guy seems like, but if you go out just look out for any signs that he may be presenting an image of himself that isn't true. But of course at your age you just might not be ready to read those signs. Girls your age are really optimistic still about men because you haven't been played the fool enough yet. So just be careful and don't be afraid to say no.
