I'm seventeen. I've been involved with guys that are a couple years younger than me and a couple of years old. I'll probably be seeing more older guys once I turn 18 and I'm legal. Anyway, as a woman I'd much rather date someone older. Even the same age is a bit of a challenge.

For the longest time, I've been involved with guys who are older. They don't have curfews, they are either in school or working (usually both), etc. I'd frequently get asked to come hang out at 1AM and they'd get mad when I couldn't because that's way past my curfew, of course.

Now, I'm "talking to" someone the same age as me. He's in a grade behind me (he got held back when he was younger) and it's... different. His parents don't let him out nearly as much as the guys I'm used to. However, that's partly due to a situation in which someone he knows shot at him. (The court hearing for that is soon, after the guy is put in jail his parents will probably let him out a lot more.)

But it's just weird because he goes to bed so much earlier than those guys, he's not out at 1 in the morning either.
