its not really wrong...i guess that just depends on your values and beleifs, i mean think of Romeo and Juliet, He was 18 and she was 14...soemthing like that...and they turned out fine other than the fact that they killed themselves. but anyways if you really trust this guy and think he's 'the one' than go for it!! lol

its not wrong...depending on where you live it may be illegal so if you plan on giving it up wait til your 18. Generally the rule is divide by 2 and add 7 and thats the youngest you can date but that has some wiggle room.

Where did you heard the rule "divide by 2 and add 7"?

Yes. If you're asking this question, you have doubts and should go with your gut for a year. You're either in high school or fresh out and either he is the kind of loser who trolls high school girls like he wishes he could have back when he was age appropriate or he has a productive life as an employee or a student and wants you to be a part of it (though if that is the case, I can't guess how you met him, pretty sure guys don't look for recurring girlfriends at college parties).

Romeo and Juliet was written when the life expectancy was 50 and children were often married at the onset of puberty, so your analogy of fictional characters to a real life situation is somehow flawed.

What alarms me about you at 17 dating a 22 yr old is this; what do you have in common with a man that age? At 22 he is legally able to drink, go to clubs and have a ful adult life. But at 17 you are still a minor and can not have the same lifestyle as he has at his age. The biggest question for me is why is he with you? The difference in years to too great. Does he know you are 17? If he does he should have run like the wind because you are a jail sentance.
