17 year old with 18 year old boyfriend?

I think this would be a mistake. When a man dates THAT much younger, there's some serious emotional immaturity going on. A normal 35 year old man might think an 18 year old was hot, but he would think of her as a kid in every other sense.

He wouldn't want someone who is not yet old enough to know what she really wants out of life... must less someone who still lives at home with her parents! Also, if you marry this much older man, you may in 10 or 15 years time come to resent the fact that you were never really allowed to be a young adult. You were just shunted into this wife/mom role and had no time to just be yourself, and that could and will come between the two of you.

You'll also get a lot of hostility from the ex, and she won't trust her children with you because you're the same age as her preferred babysitter. You live kids with a baby sitter for a few hours... not for days or weeks at a time. I'm sure you won't like hearing this and will probably ignore me, but you're not ready for this kind of relationship.

I understand WANTING one, and I understand what guys your own age are like and how nice it feels to date a man who is actually an adult, but *you* are not in a good place in life to be an equal partner to someone who is living in the adult world. If you were 25, it would be different. You're going to change a LOT between now and 25, trust me.

By then you'll probably be at a good place in your life to be a good marriage partner to someone who is ready, but right now, you just haven't lived quite long enough yet.

You're still very young. You have a lot of life to live.. while he seems like he wants the best for your relationship I think you should be very careful about dating him. How did you two even meet?

If you're having fun then I would date him casually, go out, spend some time together before you decide you want to make it serious. He does still want you to be a teenager, so abuse your right! I just don't think you should either set expectations or talk about marriage.. go on some dates, get to know some more about each other.

You are allowed to kiss him, there is nothing illegal about this. ...

You can kiss him.. im pretty sure its a certain about of years that he has to be older than you for it to apply.. and also even if it was in your case.. nobody is gonna telll the police lmao , but if you wanna be completely sure on the facts look it up in Google.
