  • the more they go on at you the more they are going to push you towards this man. i dont think you or him are doing anything wrong. its not like you are a kid. you are both adults. theres only a 6 yr age gap and age is just a number. if you are happy then do what you feel is right. good luck :0)
  • I'll say this as bluntly as I can: Any 24 year old that has anything in common with the a 17 year old needs help. He should be beyond you at this point in life. He is considered "grown" and, no matter what you think, you are a child. Don't walk away from this guy, but RUN. I don't know this guy's deal or issue, but I have a problem with it. Grown men that date minors are trouble from the start.
  • Honestly i dont think there is nothing wrong with it. If u love him den go for it even if u have to see if the hard way. Honestly thats how some people learn is by seeing and doing things the hard way.
  • Has your sister/family met this guy personally, or are they ONLY going by the information you give them, for example about age, job, living situation, etc.? If they have met him, it's possible they are picking up on other things that you may not see. I was in a relationship like that- I thought the guy was great. My family took every opportunity to tell me how bad this guy is and why I should leave him. Eventually, the wool was removed from my eyes and I could see they were right. This may or may not be the case with you and your family. If they haven't met him and are only going by numbers and pre-judgments, than I think they are just jumping to conclusions. I met my current BF when I was 19 and he was 27. We've been together for 4 1/2 years and live together- if my family had just jumped to conclusions and acted like jerks because of an 8 year difference, I don't think I'd be as happy as I am now. If this is the case, I might just drop it, don't let them know you're dating this guy, OR let them meet him. They might just realize that he's not a creep and that he's genuine. Sometimes that's all it takes. Good luck!
  • 18/24. I personally think that your sister should meet the guy before calling him an awful and perverted weirdo. Just because she thinks he is one does not mean that he is who she says he is. Is he mature? Do you know for an absolute fact that he likes you for who you are and doesn't just like you because he wants to get in your pants? Think about those things. Not all 24-year-olds are freaks. You might be extremely mature and you might even act older than you are. If so, can your sister really blame him for liking you?
  • A 15 girl of some people I know has a boyfriend who is 22. Its fine. They live long distance and don't have an physical contact. The girl is quite mature and they live in Malaysia.
  • Why would you want to date a 27 year old man? Actually the question you should be asking yourself is why would a 27 year old MAN want to date a 17 year old girl? Add that to your sisters comments on him and what in the world are you doing??!! Drop this guy and find someone nearer your own age. This guy may not be a loser yet but he is on his way.
  • Thats not even a big age diffrence... Go for it! It's not like he's old enough to be your dad. not even close! I dont see the problem with it. I've met some 24 year olds that look 18...
  • Your family is being ridiculous. Tell them to grow up. I don't see what's wrong with you dating a 24 year old. You're an adult and he's an adult. What's the big deal, right?
  • I am just 19 and Dating a 24 yr old. If you trust him then there is nothing wrong. Try and talk to your sister have the guy around to hang out with you and her. I had the guy I am with take me and my brother out riverboarding one afternoon. Good bonding. It's hard your familly is important but they can't control you forever and that is important. Just be careful with older guys it's sometimes not always as easy as it looks and well they are older, you may go through some maturing.
  • Live your life, 5 years is nothing, especially if you are mature like you seem to be. They say that there is always a difference between boys and girls, girls are two years more mature than boys so when a girl is 20 its like she is a 22 year old boy. So you are 18 plus 2 its like you are 20 so you can fully communicate with a 20 year old and if you are also quite mature the perfect for you its to date someone who is around 23-24. So don’t think of anyone and live your life! Btw its better to go out with someone who has some experiences and he is not just a 20-22year old who just want sex. I have with mine 7 years difference like you and we comunicate and we are having a really good time.
  • That's an age gap? What do they want you to date, someone 19? That is downright silly.
