    this is not a big age difference in the bigger scheme of things, so if ye are both up for it go for it......

    The age gap is alright, but you're likely to run into problems because you're both at completely different stages of your lives. Just something to beware of.

    an age gap isn't a problem per se, what matters is where those people are in their lives.

    at the age of 23, i struggle to think what i would of had in common with a 17 yo girl - i'd have shagged her, but that was it.

    personally, in old fart mode, i'd ask what a 23 yo MAN was doing in the social circle of a 17 yo girl - if its, say, the older brother of a close friend, then maybe ok, but some randommer going up to much younger girls...?

    if he's going up to 17 yo girls because he likes them, then that's a bit icky, if he's going up to 17 yo girls because he doesn't have the social skills to mix with people his own age, then that's also a bit icky.

    if you were my daughter, i'd be advising you to tie them trainers tight, and run like fcuk!

    most 17 year old girls are mixing in night clubs that are "legally" over 18s, but girls can do wonders with hair and make up and make themselves look in there 20's perhaps he asked her out thinking she was much older??

    i say go for it im 21 and my OH is 27 never bothered either of us and still doesnt, my parents met when my mum was 19 and my dad was nearly 30 that was over 40 years ago and there still going strong!
