Is it wrong to love an older guy?

I’m in love with and dating a 17 year old…he’ll be 18 in August. Is it wrong to love him?
I’ve always been made fun of for getting crushes on older guys and the bullying makes me feel like it’s wrong to…Is it okay or is it wrong?

Personally I don't think its wrong but since he is turning 18 soon there are things you guys need to address if you do become sexually active. If he makes you happy and he treats you right then I don't really see a problem!

In the law's eyes, it's wrong to be sexually involved with a minor, no matter how big your age gap is. That being said however, if he's a good person and treats you right and doesn't try take advantage of you, there's nothing wrong with dating him as long as your cautious, as with any relationship.

You can't make everyone see things from your perspective, but as long as it feels right for you, go for it. Trust your instincts.

theres nothing wrong with being in love, just because theres a slight age gap, its not that big of a deal, as long as both of you are responsible and treat eachother with respect, no matter the age difference, its a healthy relationship. dont listen to the people who give you a hard time about it, its not that big of a deal and they really just need to grow up. in a couple of years, age doesnt matter nearly as much. when people are 30 and dating someone 40, no one acts like theres a problem, so why does it matter? its no different. its love and thats what matters. do what you want, if youre happy, its perfectly fine

To love an older guy? Not entirely! We tend to like older guys because they give us all kinds of security we need. I like older guys because they're more matured, level-headed, independent, and strong. But it all depends. I used to be in love with someone older than me, but I realized that it won't work. He likes me back but the age difference was just enough to keep us apart!Like other fellow listeners said, there are legal implications. Having sex with him when he turns 18 will cause him trouble, thus more pain. But in every relationship, you should not allow sex to pivot and direct a relationship. Sex is more magical when two people have already tied the knot, but it's just my standard.I personally think you're too young to get involved with someone in a serious relationship because you'll limit yourself to meet other people.But still, who am I to restrict you?Just maintain a healthy relationship and don't opt for sex. If something goes wrong, don't hesitate to break the relationship.. especially if your self-respect is being compromised.
