If this guy was 7 years older than you, the same people would probably be telling you "age doesn't matter" and saying you should go for it.

 Of course you can go out with him, the age difference isn't that much!
The only thing is, depending on where you live in the US, he would be a minor and you could get in trouble if you two had sex.
Wikipedia "age of consent" to find out; you may have to wait until he turns 18.
Other than that, if you like him, go for him!
Enjoy!

I'm 33 years old and recently met a 20 year old guy who I have fallen head over heels with. He is in the army so the relationship has been a slow build up, but we love each other dearly and are now engaged. I have had some really painful relationships in the past and this is the only guy who has treated me with respect and he has let me be who I want to be.
Age is but a number trust me. Go for it life is too short.

wrong idea.That may be what they think,but it's more important of what you think.If you like him and think that a possible relationship could spark between you two,then go
for it.The only time anyone should worry about age is when they're dating someone under the legal age.

 Of course you can go out him!
Anyone who says he is too young is an idiot. Ignore them.
Go for it!

 Two years is not THAT much of a difference! But, since he is only 17, legally you could get into trouble if you have sex with him, because he is still a minor. You can not get physical until he is 18.
My boyfriend is 12 years younger than me. I am 53 and he is 41.

 Hi there
personally, i cant see an age problem at all.
Soon, you will both be adults.
As long as he is at a mature level personality wise, and you both understand the terms of your relationship, should you choose to persue it,
the gap is really not that small.
Others may wonder why you are bothering with this younger man when you could have someone better,(in their eyes).
But if it works, who cares what anyone else says.
People may just be jealous.
i say go for it!.
Just make sure that he understands you and you both enter a relationship on equal terms, to save breaking any hearts!

 well hun dont let other ppl tell you who you can and cant date. my boyf is almost a year younger than me and most ppl dont even notice the difference. if you like him and he likes you then i say go for it! the only thing i would say is he may be a little immature for you but other than that i dont see the problem.
