I took a week off and when i got back he hugged me and said he missed me... but lately things have gotten a little more touchy feely, like he will hug me from behind and put his head on my head(but it only last a few seconds), he will sit with me and talk while either twirling my hair, or tap me on the leg, he grabbed my hand the other day and was holding it to get my attention, basically he will find a way of touching my hair, hand, arm or leg... I tell him all the time its not appropriate behaviour... so I do discourage him all the time but it doesn't put him off. I don't really know how i feel about this, I've been single for about 2 months now so I'm totally flattered by all the attention... I think I'm even starting to like him, but at the same time I think its just the attention i like. In saying that, he is my kind of guy, he makes me laugh all the time yet he knows how to be serious... I'm attracted to him also...The thing is he is younger than me, and i mean by 7 years younger than me...He is 17! 17 what am i thinking, he is still a boy, he hasn't experienced life yet, I know age is just a number...So my question is - What is your opinion? I just to hear someone's advice, I'm scared what my family and friends will think if I even mention this to them... I feel so confused...

 You're right, age is just a number but in my opinion its only a number within reason, but at the same time I don't think that is an overly big gap.
The fact he is only 17 doesn't always mean he hasn't experienced life, you can easily have a 17 year old thats experienced more than a 26 year old thats led a quiet life, I don't think age really make a difference on experiences, we all lead different filled lives.
If you like him I would probably try to spend some time with him outside work, maybe meet up and do something together, see how things go from there.
