Originally posted by fiestaOf course it all depends on individual maturity, but I would not allow or encourage my 17 yr old daughter to persue a relationship with a 26 yr old man. I think it would be differet if she was 20 and he was 26. Those couple of years make quite a difference in perspective. I dated alot of older men when I was a teen and now reflecting back it was not an appropriate decision. But again just my opinion from my own experience. We all have to follow our own paths. All the best to Angie.
mokko just a thought but why in your opinion is he too old for Angie? I'm curious

whatcha think, 26 too old for me?
Since I know someone's gonna ask, I'll tell you about him.
I met him for the first time at the bowling alley shortly before I left for Greece. (He'd just moved here and he bowled a 277.) After nearly a month, I saw him again, and he instantly remembered me, even though we'd only talked for about 2 minutes.
So I kinda ...[text shortened]... , obviously), or do I say no because of age difference? Opinions please? 9 years... worth a try?
He's obviously a pedophile! ðŸ˜
Seriously, this man has more problems than you could ever imagine!

But then again, it needs to be addressed, most guys (men) might have a very objective they are pursuiing. Not all are aiming at romanticness in the first place, or at all. My advice is, if you wish, to get to know him very well and try to get clear what his objective will be. If his history shows a lot of girlfriends lasting a couple of weeks, I can imagine what objectives there are. But then again, there are very romantic guys out there (although a minority), so he deserves a decent chance to show his good character, I will say.
Follow your heart.
If he truly likes you he will be happy to wait till you are ready to move the relationship on to the next stage and will not pressure you to do anything you don't want to.
Remember you will be a huge boost to his ego at present as he can boast to his mates that he can "still pull the young birds".

In Canada, 17 yr. olds can't sign a contract, drive a car alone or drink alcohol. If this guy is in love with you, should he get drunk while trying to get to know you? If you tell yourself he loves you, then you won't mind picking him up at the bar in the middle of the night, having him puke in your car and then ask for sex! I would say that he's too immature for you.
