Hi there!

So I'm going on a second date with a girl who's 17 and I'm 21 and there are 4 years between us. For me right now it feels like she's quite young, but on the other side so am I? If this would be 26 and 22 it would look "normal" for people...

She seems to have taken quite an interest into me and same goes for me :))

Is this wrong? Because for me it does not, but still... The norm says other things...

Thanks in advance for answers!

I don't think so, but be careful. She is underage. Don't do something that could get you in trouble. My former spouse was 21, and I was 16, when we started dating. We took things very slow. We were married for 15 years.

Yea man, you need to be aware of the age of consent. If you're in a state where it's 18, you're going to have to wait until her next birthday before it's legal to do what comes naturally. The danger is that the two of you could get carried away and you could end up in serious trouble, and on the sex offender registry for life. Don't minimize this.

 

Age of Consent

You're from Sweden, it seems.

 

A quick check shows the age of consent in Sweden as 15 ... meaning you are legit ...

 

So once you're legally fine, the issue is how comfortable you and this person are.

 

Since you're 21, you basically want to make sure this is someone who emotionally mature ... you really don't want to get involved with someone who REALLY thinks you're more mature ... You want someone who can emotionally hold you accountable, not someone you're leading.

 

You may do a little leading at the start, but not much.

 

And you should be aware that younger people seem to fall in love much faster and far more deeply than older people.

 

Proceed with caution and care.

Hi there! Thanks for your reply and sorry to hear about your spouse ? well, if you mean sex and stuff, I'm actually from Sweden where legal sex age is 15, but yeah I'm gonna take it very slowly still! I'm not the kind of guy who just goes for it... I want to take it slowly to get to know her more and more :))

Hi! Yeah I do totally agree with you! I do remember how deeply I fell when I was at that age haha... Hopefully it'll turn out alright, but then again you never know what happens in life do you? Haha thanks for the reply! Have a nice day!

Follow the laws of Sweden and you should be okay or wait until she's 21.

If you’re in Sweden this can only end bad for you.
