The age difference matters now, but not when you are older. It's strange really. My Husband and i are 7 years different. I would wait to date him till you are 18 in case something were to happen and your parents got involved. You then wouldn't have a voice since you are 17. If he likes you and you like him, he'll be there when you are 18. Not that you can't talk with him and stuff. Hope this helps

It is an age difference, thats for sure.

The primary problems that arise in a relationship is simply life experience. The years after high school are just as much a time of personal growth as the years of high school. There will be maturity differences.

If you both accept that, and try to work around them, and are patient with each other, it can be fine.

Age differences do matter in a relationship, but only in that they will cause problems and you have to be prepared to handle them _as_a_couple_. Do that and you'll be fine.

You're almost 18. In my eyes, that means you're old enough to make your own decisions.
If you were 14 for example, then yes, it's bad for obvious reasons.
I know of people your age dating older guys. There's nothing wrong with it as long as you're comfortable with him.
and to answer your question, personally, no. It's not a big age gap.

It shouldn't really matter what other people think. All you really have to worry about is if your family cares or not.

When your a teenager is kind of does, but when your an adult 4 years is nothing. The thing is he's most likely gone through so much more than you since he's in college. And when it comes to 18 and 22 the maturity can be really different. Now, Im saying CAN because I dont know you guys but if it seems really different or awkward between you two in certain situations then maybe its best to end it. And you don't knwo what he's doing at college and 1 more thing is make sure your not just some cute younger girl amusement for him. Like a pleasure relationship and that you guys actually connect. Hope I helped!:D

Yes. Age differences mean a lot when you're a teenager. Once you're in your mid 20's it doesn't make that much difference anymore, but since you're 18, it's huge. I'm not saying it's a terrible relationship and that it'll never work out because you're too young. That's not true at all. It is a huge age difference though, which could definitely cause some problems for you.
