In the US, most states have an age of consent at 16. Not sure where the "under 18 is illegal" came from.

Emotional relationships with someone that young... generally not a good idea. There are exceptions to the rule, like if they are VERY mature, but considering people change a lot between 18 and 25, it's probably not a good choice.

A casual-sex type thing... legal under law as long as you abide by the age of consent. Would your friends give you shit? Probably. Socially unacceptable? Probably.

To answer the question: <I> Is it wrong to be attracted to a 17 year old girl when you're a 20 year old man?</i>

...not really. That's only a 3 year difference. But like I said above, take into consideration the relationship as a whole. If it's an emotional one, they have to be mature (this is very rare). If it's a sexual attraction, they must be above age of consent.
