My uncle married a 17 year old when he was 35. It is perfectly legal in the state where he lives.

Hey,

I've recently found myself in the same position!

i'm a very head strong person and i can stand on my own two feet,but i also think that why not go for someone older? women mature way faster than men anyway.

But don't stop being yourself for someone else. treat him as if you were going out with someone our age, don't feel pressured just because he's older and just most importantly of all CHILL! just because he's 28 doesn't mean you can't have the same fun as if you were dating an 18 year old!

good luck!

:)

Dear 17 year old.. I am sure your 28 year old is very kind.. but beleive me when i tell you this, you have hardly begun to know who you really are yet. I was 16 going out with a 21 year old man.. I never really got to know what life was like without someone looking after me. I married at 21 and started my family at 24. Although I do not regret my choises, it took me a very long time to grow up and think for myself. I let my older guy lead me by the nose. I wish i had lived on my own. Maybe shared an apartment with a girl friend. I really only lived for him and what he wanted. I love him and am happy now but for a very long time I was confused and thought I hated him for taking my youth from me.My children are grown, actually older than you now. My daughter at 18 was going out with a man 12 years older than her.. I was not about to tell her that she was making a mistake because she would only do the exact opposite of what i may have told her. I wanted her to realize on her own that it was not the right choice.. Thankfully she did. They remain friends and he has since married someone closer to his age.She is now going out with someone more suited to her as well. But because she did not settle for the older guy she has since travelled to Mexico, austrailia, New Zealand, and Thailand, On her own .. She let herself become a person who can be independant. Live your life first, guys who are 28 are starting to look for women to settle down and start a family with... Good Luck

well I would guard you heart for awhile longer. take time and get to know him better. In time you will know if you can trust him. I recently met a man online who is 10.5 yrs older....first of all I thought he was maybe too old, but the more i get to know him the more I realize we have many things in common and I think it can really work between us. We have both fallen in love with each and have never met after 2 yrs of online dating---we plan to meet soon--so I guess we will find out if we are truly meant to be together, and I guess the same goes for you---just take lots of time--dont rush anything, thats my advise

You shouldn't be scared to fall in love. Not everybody is a cheater. Love is a risk. All you have to do is be willing to take it. Be up front and honest and trust is a key.
