17 here too. I have never actually said YOLO or SWAG in my life. I find it absolutely demented.DJ_DEnM said:17! I'm such a 90's kid! YOLO SWAG!
But I'm not actually that kind of person. I thank my parents for raising me better than that...
The thought of regularly conversing with, much less dating someone still in high school makes my ears bleed. And it isn't really a numbers thing, I'd be fine dating someone 5 years older, or even up to 10 years older. And especially for dudes, they aren't really finished becoming dudes by 17. A lot of 17 year olds (who aren't obese) tend to have that "I just grew two inches last night, and my body hasn't adjusted to that yet" look.Shoggoth2588 said:You and the OP have the same age-difference as my GF and I but hey, some people get weird about people under 18 years old.
That's the part I forgot about...the 'I'm still in high school' part I mean. I understand now and am glad my GF is out of HS. Just a little bit too much drama associated with that but then it is high school so what else would there be.Dags90 said:The thought of regularly conversing with, much less dating someone still in high school makes my ears bleed.
