i think it's alright. i'm still iffy on it, but only because young people tend to still be developing who they are and all that jazz. however, i kind of lump early 20-22 year olds in the same category as "teenagers." you don't magically become an adult when you hit 21. i really do believe these things should be judged on a case-to-case basis. not all 17 year olds can date 21 year olds. but hell, i know 27 year olds who shouldn't be dating ANYONE, period.

i figure a lot of it on this, too: is it okay for a 27 year old to date a 31 year old? sure it is. what's the difference? i just feel that if a 17 year old can't handle a relationship with a 21 year old because they're not an "adult" then i don't think they're ready to handle being in ANY relationship, including dating someone their own age or younger.]]><![CDATA[pocksucket @ 5/10/2008 5:26:14 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4159/1/rss0_91.rss#q38« davbob : Maybe it's just me but maybe not.

When I was 17 I hung out with a guy that was 3-4 years older than me. There was nothing sexual about it. We would go to the movies, out to eat etc. He came to visit me at college. You could say that we were dating. Most of my friends were older because I was always the youngest in my class in high school, college, etc. so I tended to have female and male friends that were older.

He may have wanted it to be sexual, but it wasn't.]]><![CDATA[maven @ 5/10/2008 5:12:18 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4159/1/rss0_91.rss#q36<![CDATA[davbob @ 5/10/2008 5:04:56 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4159/1/rss0_91.rss#q35« pocksucket : Thankfully people are not the same and so sweeping generalisations like "no 21 year old shall date a 17 year old" are nonsensical.

But at 21, my advice is explore, get a mature woman w/know-how! sugarmommas are the new hip thing.I love older women.

-----------------

I had a friend in junior high who dated a 23-year-old when she was 13. Yes, they had sex. He was also her dealer. We stopped being friends shortly after they broke up and she got one of the other girls in our group to be her girlfriend.

------------------

Zach was 18 when we met; I was 15. He wanted me (bad) (I don't mean sexually, btw) but he waited because he knew I was too young at the time.

------------------

The best man at Zach's brother's wedding met this girl when he was 18 and he fell for her hard. She invited him to her birthday party and when he got there, he found out that she was turning 13. He was crushed, but he told her he'd wait for her. Her dad wanted her to have a normal teenage life and she did. He waited until she was 19 and they got (and are still) married.]]><![CDATA[craziesean @ 5/10/2008 10:15:36 AM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4159/1/rss0_91.rss#q27<![CDATA[horsefeathers @ 5/10/2008 9:24:46 AM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4159/1/rss0_91.rss#q26
Good idea, bad idea, only you know that because you know her. And I think it depends what kind of relationship you are looking for. Having been divorced and thrust back into the dating world in my 30's, you find at any age that everyone can have different expectations when it comes to dating.

Any relationship has the potential to be a not so good idea.]]><![CDATA[doggylives @ 5/10/2008 8:19:33 AM]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/f/4159/1/rss0_91.rss#q25« mobase : Yes, but your peener may not be. Heh heh, you said peener *snickers*

My vote goes to the "they shouldn't date".

BTW, he was a great guy, aside from actually dating a 17 year old. I didn't have any bad experiences with him, except for that time when we were tripping and I thought I was dying. But still, I was too young and he was too old. The age difference wouldn't have been an issue if we were older, but a high schooler shouldn't date an adult.
