She's 17, it's quite likely this is the first time she's ever experienced falling in love. It's a magical time. Obviously she's testing the waters because she wants to be honest with you, maybe have someone to confide in. Tell her she's a young adult and has every right to live her life, and as your sister you'll always love her and be there for her. Don't be afraid to ask her about him, and when you do just let her talk. If she doesn't want to, leave her be. Don't force it, but make sure she knows she can. First loves are something you always remember but obviously it's the first time, so there's a lack of experience. It'll be good for her to have you to confide in. If you feel she'll be receptive, ask to meet him, the three of you can go out for a beer or something.
`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
