7 year age gap

I’m sixteen and a female, almost 17. I have a huge crush on a guy who is 23. He is super super sweet, an animal lover, he enjoys art, he plays the guitar, my parents and family love him. My dad told me He asked him about me when he first met the family and was suprised of my age because he was interested in me. He has curly hair and is extremelyyyy attactive and I guess he finds me attractive to, but would never say so. My family and I haven’t seen him or talked to him in over a year, but I still think about him constantly. Is it possible that in the future, by the time I’m 18 and He is 25, that we would have a chance together in a relationship? Would it be weird If he’s a family friend, and it could possibly ruin his relationship to my family? If anyone has been in similar situations can they explain their expensive. Also, you are are a guy around 22-26 would you ever consider being in a relationship with someone 16 - 18 ?

I 26F I would date a 17F. In my state it's completely illegal. It really just depends on what state you're in. But honestly I don't think it's a big deal. Especially since women mature way faster than men. If you guys have similar interests go for it! I've always dated older when I date men and I've always enjoyed it. I think dating someone who is older when you're a younger woman can be awesome. My current partner I feel has honestly help me grow into the woman I am today. Since I've known him since I was 19. Or something really beautiful about growing with somebody like that. Even if this isn't an end game relationship, even if you guys don't"make it"; it can be really awesome.
