advice
As a seventeen year old female who is oober tired of stupid highschool guys and would like to move on to more mature ones... how old is too old for me?
Dear eatyourheartout,
Seventeen is a very, very tricky age for dating. I'm sure you've heard about all the statutory stuff about guys over 18 going out with anybody under 18. Having said that, who do you find attractive? Who do you relate to best? Who makes you feel good about yourself? Right now, it seems as if there IS some 'perfect' age limit, but as you get older, that gap closes significantly. So, now at 17... 19 or 20 years old may be that perfect limit because it's a respectable 2-3 year age difference. When you are in your 20's, say 26, and you meet someone who is 30-31, that's a 4-5 year limit and THAT is perfectly respectable. Don't lock yourself in too quickly to a specific age.
Good luck and happy dating!
Linda
