16 4 17 ???

Hiya at my college there is a gal who is 17 ( 18 in march) that i lik loads and i really dunno what to do i've told her i really like her an we get on like attracting magnets but i just dunno what others will think coz the thoughts of others can make things really tough do you think it is bad for me a 16 year old boy (17 in june :( ) to be dating an 17 year old ( 18 in march ) nothing that is said will affect the way i feel bout her but i just don't want it messed up by othe FOOL's at my college if they think it's wrong anyway's drop me your opinion and ill rep you for answering :D

it's not much of an age gap, quite a lot of married couples are a few years apart, it just seems like a big gap when both are in their teens.

25 & 27 couple looks fine

45 & 50 couple looks fine

16 & 18 looks unusual only because your both young.

I'm 16 (17 in May) & my girlfriend of 2 years is 17 (18 in October).
Yeah, it's a pisstake she can drive and get into clubs first and stuff, but no-one mentions it.

No age isnt a matter i no loads of people who are going out with 18 - 20 year olds and they are only 15 - 17 themselve. I dont think no1 will say anything bad against it though! :) If they do i would just ignore them :P

Mmmmm.. Age means nothing mate.
Don't listen to any negative comments because those people don't like this girl the way you do so it doesn't matter!

Go for it!:D

Some people will laugh at first, but only for like a day lol.
Think of how many couples there are, and the guy is younger (usually called a toyboy) LOADS!
Dont worry about it ;)

Your just mature for your age which is better.

What kind of idiots do you know? One or two year's age difference isn't bad "/

Especially after turning 16, it doesn't really matter so much, if your partner is upwards.

I had a long relationship with a 25 year old. I'm 17 and even then hardly anyone was bothered.

i'm 15, 16 in december, and my boyfriend is 18, 19 in september, and no-one really cares here, not even my parents. how can they think it's wrong? they don't having a ******* clue about relationships then! no-one cares about age, if you like her, just go for it!

Isnt a massive age gap, so its fine. Am 16 and going out with a 18 year old :p

Hello? Lmao

theres a 9 year age gap in my parents.

There like a 7 year age gap in my mother and step-dad.

Loads of people date others younger or older then them, its not abnormal, trust me. Anyone that thinks it is needs a reality check.

So dont worry about it too much :) if you like her and she likes you, thats all that really matters :)
