It's just in my opinion that if the age difference is rather significant, things might get complicated for the two of them. One or two years isn't all too bad, but when you have a teen dating a person who's pretty much a young adult already.... spells out trouble for me.Then there's also the matter of mental maturity and respect. If both the individuals have those things down and can work out any issues just fine, then ok.

17 almost 18 is not a teenager. Ryan is now a 21. Which is what I meant him to be. 2 years is not at all significant.
