What sort of age gap would you be comfortable with in a relationship? Or would it even be a factor for you?

I really like this guy, but he's 9 years older than me. It doesn't really bother me, I just don't know how other's (friends/family) will react. I know it shouldn't matter too much what they think. Just curious to see what kind of age differences others prefer or have had experience with.

I don't know. I'm getting older and it's confusing... I'm not really into older men. I'm not sure I could get with someone under 24 but you never know. I hope I don't turn out like my mum. She started seeing men a few years older than me 10 years ago but these days they are younger than me. At first and for awhile it disturbed me but I don't have the energy anymore.. They're all adults and I'm not a child. As long as she stays away from mine, though she's hooked up with some of their mates. *shivers*
