    Relationship Age Difference
    Hi,
    I'm 14 and my boyfriend's 17. We're in love, but I can't help but wonder if there is something wrong about our age difference gap?
    Thank you.

    Have you discussed it with your parents? Do they know about your boyfriend?

    Yes there is something wrong. At your ages a 3 yr gap is a wide gulf. You are at different stages of development.

    At your ages, he can go to jail if he has any sexual activity with you and 17 yr old boys are very horny as a rule. Even if there is no intimacy, your parents NEED to approve otherwise he can still have legal troubles.

    This is a question for your parents, since legally you can not date the 17 year old without their permission.

    3 years is nothing as a age gap, when you are 20. But at 14, the difference in maturity and interest is great.

    Also, sorry you may like him, you have have hormonal desires, you may feel it is love, but it is not that deep yet.
