Is it normal for me, a 17 year old, to be involved with a 27 year old?

He just wants to fuck you.

Listen, he's got ten years more experience at manipulating girls to have sex with him than guys your age. People can get really good at lying in that time, and if he wants to be with a 17 year old girl, then that's exactly what he's doing. He can tell you anything he wants to make you feel good because he knows how.
Do not fall for it.
You will hurt your outlook on relationships if you date such a dishonest character at such a young age.

People really do make too big of an issue out of age. I think it is good for the guy to be older, after all, guys mature later, and they are supposed to be steady and protective so they can look out for the girl. You are a lucky girl to have found such a guy, just be careful, and don't rush into anything...which is the same advice I give people about any guy. It's not because of the age thing. :)

In the old days, husbands were more then 10 years their wife's seniors... Thery lived normal and happy. The answer to your question lies within you. Are you ok in being an "Old man's darling, or would you rather be a young man's slave?"

Whatever it is, do bear in mind that men are like dogs, I MYSELF TOO... and granted the oppurtunity, will be more then willing to take advantage of a younger, weaker, and naive girl;)

I knew a 17 year old who LIVED with her 28 year old boyfriend and no one thought anything of it. Mabey prudish people, but fuck them...fuck them right in the ear!

It's plain perverted. You need to realise how sick having sex a child really is (she is not an adult until she is 18). You would buy 1 adult and 1 child ticket at he movies.....!!!! And you are nearly 30 so grow up you disgusting excuse for a human being. Leave her alone and let her enjoy her life with boys her own age and don't take her teenage years away from her.

Well my sister married someone 10 years older than him and people would always think he was her dad it was funny. My sister is now re-married to someone else closer to her age. I don't recommended he has life experience and will be able to manipulate you or tell exactly what you want to hear. If you do decide to date him good luck eventually your age difference will be evident.

I dunno, it sounds normal to me. In my mind 17=still young but.. 27=still young to. He may be 27 but look at teh average 27year old, they don't even LOOK old. Maybe he is in it fo rthe sex, who knows? But it's really nor that bad..

Don't move out with him unless you can take care of yourself in case you 2 break up. You haven't known him for very long either. Plus, don't you want to go to college? If you move out of state, unless there's a school that's connected to whatever HS you went to in your state, you can't afford it unless your parents are rich.

The age doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I was almost 17 when I met my boyfriend who was almost 24.

Law-wise, it doesn't matter if you think age is a just a number because you're still seventeen, and he's twenty-seven- you're underaged.
