Is it normal for such a big age difference

I met this guy, i'm 17 and he's 23. And im really starting to fall for him. He says he really likes me and we're so alike in hobbies, interests, but is it weird that he's so much older than me and likes me? or is it weird that i like such older men?

    Well 6 years isn't that big of an age gap. The older you get the less important the age gap is and it seems like lesser years. If you're both attracted to each other, have lots in common. Then I see it as normal, just be careful that he just isn't in it for sex.

    I think a 17 years old girl and a 23 years old guy aren't that different.

    Why do you think six years is such a big age difference?

    Please.... I beg thee... just ensure you avoid pregnancy.

    My multi-decades of life has allowed me to witness so MANY females who regretted becoming pregnant and whatever that led to.

    If life happiness is your goal wait for whenever, 25 years? Even later? Before becoming pregnant!!!!!

    I think that the "big" age gap that you thought was big isn't so big as you grow older. My parents are 8 years apart and married when they were 28 and 36. That seems like a reasonable age. But it's not reasonable when you're 10 and 18. That's just plain old creepy. I think that's an ok age gap when you turn 18. Then you're officially an adult and it won't seem as creepy. xD

    6 years difference is not a big deal. Wait until you're 18 to do such a thing.

    There's nothing "big" about that age gap. Age is just a number so don't let it get in the way for your love towards him.

    Well you're almost legal (or maybe you are already, depending where you live). I say go for it.

    Age difference isn't THAT big. I wouldn't consider 23 to be "older" men that's more like someone in their 40's. I don't know where you live, but where I'm at, you are legal to be with him (17 is the age of consent). If you like him, and if it's legal in your state, go for it.

  • No way man. That is way to big a age gap.
