Well As Christians, its all about common sense, we have to have good sense of judgement about delicate issues such as this. what many people forget to do, and I don't mean this in wrong way, and I'm certainly not having a go at people or making a judgement, But many people fail to have God in the centre of there lives when regarding relationships. God know who is right for each and everyone of us. we people has not got it right when it comes to relationships, ages of dates, or having feelings for someone. But If God was in the centre of everything, God will definitely show the rights and wrongs, and will give you right wisdom and right thinking about things regarding age, relationships, affairs, and love. that's my point of view. again this is not a judgement. God bless I hope God will answer you, and give you right wisdom about this question you have.
I've never had any long term success dating women who are younger than me.
I'm simply not an ice cream flavor a girl hasn't tried.
I just don't bother with it anymore.
Women with a bit more maturity going for them seem to know what they want. Being with a woman who doesn't know herself or what she wants is asking to get dumped for silly irrational reasons.

No I believe that when you fall in love you'll know you're ready to start dating.
I mean more like is it inappropriate if you'r 16/17 but you have strong feelings for someone in their 20's? Is that a bad age gap or do you think that doesn't matter?

You are in TWO different life stages.

In all honesty Richie, I haven't tried to pursue this guy in any way, neither has he tried to with me. I just feel like he keeps coming up in my life and God has placed him in my life for a reason, I can't exactly explain it but it was just the age gap that has been a slight issue for me to get my head around if it is right or wrong? When I met him it never even crossed my mind but you know how society is nowerdays...

well you got to take into account, if the guy you like is a Christian? and is it God's will? its all well asking people for an answer you really want to hear, which is yes, so you can pursue your feelings more. But truth of the matter. Its God will at the end of the day. Seek him, pray about it. and listen to his wisdom on it.

the society has gone out of control that I can agree with you about. and I can see your question, and your feelings is starting to overwhelm you more and more. and when it's a sign that you are seeing this guy more often in your life, it may not be the case that God is showing you, I'm not trying to put a dampner on this subject, just want you to really seek God in this, and if it is God's willing, then he will show you more, and give you the right wisdom about it, then your feelings, your question will be answered, because you had seek God in this.

Sorry if that seemed to come across forward but I genuinely posted for feedback, Its all well and good praying about something when you aren't exactly Christian of the year and you don't get any reply. Yes the guy is a Christian and I don't even see him often, in fact I haven't seen him in a while. But he keeps coming up in my life, hard to explain as I don't really know you but all in all I just wanted some perspective off other people on the age thing.

I understand you, in my view? again I pray about it. if someone kept coming into my life, whether its in thought, spiritual or physical way. I would start to question God about it. why, how and what's it meaning stuff like that. and to me, you have not come across as forward, but in your original first post you requested people feedback, and that's all I did from my personal point of view. I Pray that God will answer you. and I hope you get good feed back from people. but the best feedback anyone could get, is from God........... Im not saying other people's point of view are not valid or will be helpful. But God bless and I hope you find your answer.
In my view, it's a bad call to date before you're 18. 20 is even better, because at that point (ideally) you've gotten a feel for what it means to be independent and live apart from your parents. Life changes a LOT between 16 and 20. So do life views, values, and the like.
There are a LOT of broken relationships out there founded on bad pretenses. For some reason, everyone thinks they are the "exception". In reality, simply by asking us you've shown that you suspect it's not a good idea. And you're probably right.
