Gommario007 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I am dating beautiful and successful women around my age (26) but right now I have met this 17 years old in Europe which is also beautiful and I really like her personality. It seems to very weird to date 17 years old at my age but on the other hand it is just it just a number... but?
PegNosePete Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 on the other hand it is just it just a number... No, it's not. It is an age. It is a level of experience, maturity both physically and emotionally. My parents are 20 years apart but they met when my mum was 26 and divorced. That is VERY different than a full grown adult dating a 17 year old TEENAGER. And if you want to date others you need to split up with your current girlfriend. What are you thinking?? 8
Author Gommario007 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 And if you want to date others you need to split up with your current girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend I am single. I am at early stage in dating phase with those girls.
hercules22 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 i wouldnt do it personally just at different stages of life that girl wouldnt have much dating experience also would be to keen to be in party mode lol 1
Gr8fuln2020 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 No, it's not. It is an age. It is a level of experience, maturity both physically and emotionally.

And if you want to date others you need to split up with your current girlfriend. What are you thinking?? Yes. Age is not just a number if you're talking about teen-agers. A lot more growing up to do. I'm in my late 40s and will date as young as late 30s, but the level of maturity is vastly different than that of a teen-ager. Try to date closer to your age or older. 1
mikeylo Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 At 17 , yes, it makes a difference. In your 40s and 50s , it doesnt matter. 1
Tressugar Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 It'll never last. You guys won't have much to sustain the relationship. I know that you are going to try to do it anyway, but be prepared for her to be the one who walks away. You'll end up heartbroken over her. 1
Mrin Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 What's the rule of thumb? (Your Age/2) + 7 = minimum age. 2
CloudyHead Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I think your maturity level and life experiences are too different. I saw a difference with the men I dated in the past (I'm 48 and they were in early 30's). I honestly don't see why a 26 year old male would have a relationship with a 17 year old female (other than looks and an ego boost). 2
central Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 It's highly inappropriate, and in some places you could be charged with a felony sex offense. Even when she's "legal," her experience level is too minimal to make good decisions. Find someone who has at least completed college and has some work experience - your chances for something lasting with a sufficiently mature woman are much better.
WomenWubber Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Wait till she's 18 then you can go ahead ***k her all you want. Still you will be labeled as creepy AF since women at that age are pretty much kids with adult bodies.
CaliforniaGirl Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 At 17 , yes, it makes a difference. In your 40s and 50s , it doesnt matter. To me it does. I'm 49. I can't imagine dating a man in, say, his 60s. He's thinking of retirement, most likely. I think of it as far as financial planning (IRA, 401K) but...other than that I am nowhere near that mental mode in my day-to-day life. I work and have one child going into high school and one going into middle school. Even leaving those facts aside, we are from two different generations. I don't want to date my Uncle Earl and I don't care how bad that sounds. And I don't expect some late 20s or early 30s guy to want to date me, either. And yes, this, like anything, is individual preference. But since the overwhelming majority of people wind up marrying within five years of each other (PM me if you're curious to get stats), most people seem to gravitate toward those at a similar place in life, similar experiences, similar cultural memories, similar physically, etc...you know, peers. It's not just me by far and this would seem to indicate thatnoit time on earth and our experiences do often make a difference. Not that nobody can make an age difference work, it certainly happens so don't anybody freak out. Age isn't just a number. People like to say that but no. You have lived as long as you're lived no matter how fit you are, no matter how cool you are...etc. And of course, if were talking dating teenagers, yeah, that IS an even greater concern. That's a kid just transitioning. No, just don't.
GunslingerRoland Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Age isn't just a number. People like to say that but no. You have lived as long as you're lived no matter how fit you are, no matter how cool you are...etc. Age is just a number, but other things aren't. Generations are a factor. I mean if you date someone 15 years different in age from you, it's highly unlikely you'll have experienced any of the same things growing up, which may or may not be a factor. And life stages are definitely a thing. I couldn't imagine as an established adult, living on my own, working, etc. wanting to date someone who still had years of school ahead of them. Or even at the older ages, I'm not sure I would want to be with someone who was going to be retiring 15 years before or after me. That would really throw a wrench in retirement plans for one of us for sure. But back to the OP, what the heck is appealing about dating a 17 year old at your age? I mean yes there is the legality, but even if that it wasn't potentially illegal/immoral. A 17 year old in 2017 is probably pretty sheltered. You run the risk of dating someone you have to parent. Doesn't sound appealing at all to me. 1
Blanco Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I honestly don't see why a 26 year old male would have a relationship with a 17 year old female (other than looks and an ego boost). I dunno, I'm with you on the looks part, but I don't know how proud I would be about snagging a teenager. Not like some crusty dude in his forties pulling a girl in her twenties. At OP's age, he should theoretically have a plethora of options that keeps him from dipping his toes in the high school pool.
Author Gommario007 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 I knew this topic would be very controversial. Common sense tells me to walk away and find somebody with same life values around my age. Till now I was mainly active with women from fashion industry and their values are totally different not in good way. I dont know why she impressed me.. I really dont..
