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.

Ask the question as to why he would not date in his own age group? He may have some life issues that he can cover up, cover over with a younger person. Not to say that you aren't not wise to notice how he conducts himself or her can act mature when he ain't. Maybe ladies his age are far more mature than he is.
