Do 23-25 year olds consider a 17 year old as "young"?

Hello I have started seeing some one who has a 7 year age gap with me. We began seeing each other 3 months ago when I was 16 but i turned 17 this May. He is 23 and turns 24 next week so at the moment we have a 6 year age gap but its basically 7. He finished university last year and im hopefully starting next september after my a levels. Basically the problem is im going to his birthday party/bbq next week where all of his friends will be. All of his friends are about 23-26 and some will be taking their girlfriends who are at least 20. Ive only just turned 17 its not like il be 18 in a few months i won't be 18 for another year. My question is to boys who are 22-25 if your friend told you he was seeing a 17 year old old what would you think? Do you consider 17 year olds to be young in relation to your age? Thanks Avril.
