ok just a quickie.
met a nice girl the other day, only problem is im a 23 year old bloke and shes only 17.
shes a nice girl and that but i cant help thinkin that shes a bit too young and i should knock it on the head before anything happens. but then again i dont really want to.
so in your opinion should i see what happens, or go find someone a bit nearer my age?

Btw, we've been together nearly 2 and a half years.
If you make a connection with someone you shouldn't try to ignore it. But more often than not there isn't much of a connection with someone who is not of the same maturity as yourself.
thats true... it's part of the adventure :thumb:
6 years is not a massive difference, and at your ages you'll probably not be together forever anyway, so as long as no one is taking advantage or anything, have a go and see where it takes you.
however, i would be prepared to take some stick. when i was 21, my (also 21) year old mate went out with a 16 year old girl, and our friends never got tired of laughing at him/bad cradlesnatching/isn't-it-past-her-bedtime jokes.
They started hoing out when he was 19 nearly 20 and she was 14.
They have been together for over a year and half now and still going strong.
My boyfriend does look younger then he is too, I would say about 24.
If both of you are happy with the way the relationship is, then enjoy, its your life.
IMO, ten years is maximum. That is what I think. If I meet someone 11 years older than me, I'd probably change what I just said.
I recently was a a girl who was 15, I'm 21. She tol dme she was 16. The dad wasn't pleased. Needless to say, its ended now.
as the other's say though if there is something there then give it a go no harm in trying and you never know it might go very well
I think as long as she's on the same wavelength as you in regard to maturity and what you want from the relationship, and share a few interests etc, all should be good. :thumb:
31!! :eek: I'm 17 myself, could never see myself with a 31 woman, but i suppose its your preference. Whats wrong with 17 year old blokes eh?
Yeah, shes younger but thats not that important really. Forget what other people will think too
Really, there's almost no difference in your ages.
how can a 21 year old get any girl when they are taken by guy sin late twenties and 30's, there the girls my age, and then younger one sin their teens are also taken by older guys or just younger then me guys.
it sucks!
mind u, with all this older men and younger girls, surely there be some legal recourse like, techinally illegal u know, I doubt the fathers mind.
