Is it normal to date a 17 year old when you are 19?

My partner is 17 and I’m 19.
I’ve known him since I was 14 so it’s not like it’s some new thing we just continued being together after I turned 18.

Is this wrong? Should I stop dating him until he turns 18? A couple of people have made me really worried about it and now I don’t know what to think.

    The age gap is nothing. Just have to be careful if you two are sexually active. Depending on the laws in your area you could find yourself in some deep shit.

    In my state its legal to have a 4 year difference with a minor. Even tho the age of consent is 18. Check your state because California is one of the only states that doesnt have a romeo-juliet law so 18 and 17 is even illegal there (and a felony).

    As far as whether its morally wrong, in my opinion I dont see 2 years as a big deal especially when he's 17.

    Check Age of Consent laws in your state on Wikipedia. Most states have Romeo and Juliet laws for close in age couples.

    People can love and date whoever tf they want to as long as both of them want to be in love. And don't come insulting me or calling me names - because I don't give a fuck and you're not gonna change my opinion by being a dick, you will actually REINFORCE my opinion further.

    The age gap is legal.

    Nothing wrong with that. People who say otherwise should prolly just go take a hike.
