What would you do if your love interest lied about their age by 2 years?

I met someone today whom is 21. I'm 17 and I said I was 19... I didn't want the age to scare him away and it just kinda came out. I wasn't planning on actually liking him and hanging out. Just to chat. But now that we like each other we want to hang out, but I don't want to lie to him about who I am, so I plan on telling him. He seemed to like me for me.

Is this a big deal? How would you react? How do I approach telling him?
 
Better wait until your birthday. Unless you were born before the 29th of March 1993, he is committing a crime.
 
Okay , Well , if you'r close to him and he really understands you , Tell him i bet he wont mind , but if his the kind of cocky asshole kind , i dont have the answer to that than , Good luck :D
 
Honestly I would be beyond upset. Legally he can't "be with you" so that would definitely be a thought to cross my mind. I would also be upset that someone I liked lied to me =( but hey at least your going to try and be honest you get some points for that =) . . just come right out and tell him (in private though. . I hate when people try to avoid causing a scene by picking a public place)

?
 
idk it might effect him.

normally it wouldn't be a big deal, say you were 20 and lied and said 22ish
but 17 is an ugly number to any 21 year old who has dignity imo (maybe i'm just being snobby)

i'd be pretty upset, and i would just stay friends and wouldn't make any more moves on you.
 
Legally its a big deal for him, IF your relationship leads to sex. Even if you have no objections and it gets out, he can be arrested, charged, serve time in jail AND be a convicted being a sex offender and have to register with the police every month for the REST OF HIS LIFE. Totally unfair to someone you like.
Tell him your real age, and let him make the decision if he wants to continue.
You tell him "I really like you, and in the moment I wasn't thinking, I told you I was 19, but Im only 17, Im sorry but I really like you and wouldn't want anything to happen to you".
In your question you said you plan on telling him, that takes courage, and its called taking the high road, even when you know it may not work out in your favor. Believe me he may be disappointed but he will respect you and the feelings you have for him.
