I'm seeing someone who's just click for source, I didn't think much of the age gap because we're fairly similar in maturity and life stage we're both students on the same coursebut one of my friends called me a cradle-snatcher and said it's creepy to be dating someone that young.
I'm just wondering if it's generally considered weird?
It's making me dating a little self- concious. Any consenting adult can see any whatever other consenting adult they want. Log in to update your newsletter preferences. Omg really?! At 25 I started dating a guy who was Tosh year friend.
There is the same age gap between me and dh. We have been together over 30 years. When I was a teenager I wouldn't have dreamt of going out with a boy younger than me, but when I became an adult it ceased to matter. You are an adult. Your friend is not yet. If he was 18 and you 21 you'd feel the age gap more I think, especially if one or both of you were at uni. I wouldn't even old count this as old age gap. Your friend is being weird.
Don't miss a thing
No issue at all. Your friend sounds jealously unpleasant, by the way. That's the relationship I'd be re-thinking. That's not really an age gap as such.
