Would you date someone who's 17?

H E L L NO. Not only is that a minor, but the age difference is so huge I could almost be their dad, that's just wrong on so many levels. Dating someone under 30 is still pushing it for me, I prefer a potential love interest to be around my own age. 25 and below is an absolute nope, I'd feel like a groomer.

If you're the one wanting to know, or "asking for a friend", please for the love of anything holy enough start looking for potential love interests among people your own age. I get it, believe me, I've been there. I could only develop crushes on adults when I was in my late teens and it didn't end well. You're not "mature for your age", you're really not. I'm sorry if that pisses you off to hear, but it's the truth. The brain doesn't stop evolving until you're in your mid 20's, they say. I believe it.
