Yeah she should, but she was held back for whatever reason (fairly certain she didn't fail out since she IS taking honors classes) so shes only a junior now instead.
And yes, I did graduate at 17 because I am a badass like that:P

Or was it because your birthday was just a little after you graduated? :P
Well since she was held back a year, and you graduated a little early, I wouldn't be as concerned about the difference. Three years isn't much anyway, so if you really like her, I'd go for it. Heh, look at me, giving girl advice when I haven't even had a girlfriend yet :P
Well theres alot more to it that just the age thing, but you got to understand that age thing is still a big issue.
I mean seriously, the thought that if we were to date she would be going to prom NEXT year when I would likely be almost done with college is just....ick.
This is probably a bigger deal than it would be for most guys considering my dad was accused twice and convicted on the second time of having sexual charges against a minor and that really makes me feel even more of a creep at the thought of dating a girl like that.
Besides, I have a very high maturity level (even if I don't always show it) and would do ALOT better with a girl closer to my age who is more mature. The girl who I turned down can act very kiddish at times and she even aknowleges it herself.
Age is an issue, but it doesn't have to be a big issue until there's a large age gap. I personally don't see a problem with a three year, or even four year, age difference. Any more than that and it can be a problem, depending on the ages of the individual. Everything does have to be taken into consideration though, and as you continue to get older there will be a time when age won't matter at all (as long as its legal, which if it is legal, then age shouldn't matter no matter what the ages between the two are).
Maturity level really shouldn't matter imo. Everybody grows at different rates, mentally and physically, and some just may have different personalities that make them act less "mature". Some 30 year olds still act like they're 12, and I very well may be one of them. But I don't see that as a turn off, unless you prefer people who act grown-up and mature. If you do, then maybe she's just not the one for you, for a romantic relationship that is. Of course, there's still plenty of time to find that special someone. Heck, I'm not even looking, and I'm 20 as well.
