May i suggest that _IF_ you go on a dating website, you lie about your age? Make yourself 22.
If they are fine, you can still tell them you are 17 and you lied out of safety reasons. But being that young and there, you will get swamped...and not the pleasant kind of getting swamped.
A friend of mine tried the same around your age and she got 400 messages in the first few days...among them almost 100 she reported to the management, and i do not want to go into detail about their contents.
In the end, only a handful were reasonable.
Now, the business has changed a quite a bit again since then, but still, better be on the safe side. But ultimately, there's no reason why you shouldn't meet someone online instead of at a party, bar, or school/work.
Its it normal for a 17 year old to date online
