 well I'm in the same position right now except the age differents by us is bigger - 9 years. If you really like him I say go for it but it will not be easy I tell you. You're not going to get married or anything yet so don't worry, have some fun and over time you'll understand what you want.Good luck :)

 If you get on well with your parents why not discuss this with them just to reassure them that your bringing it up cause you feel they may be alarmed at the age gap, personally being a parent myself i would appreciate that, and the age gap is not too wide really.
Your parents will just be like any other parents and think the unthinkable that's what we do! so reassure they have nothing to worry over, and keep your word on that, and by showing them your true to your word they will accept him good luck.

My older sisters boyfriend is younger than my boyfriend, and I'm 17 - my boyfriend is 21. I think that if you know this guy well, and really feel you could have something special with him, its definitely worth talking to your family about. Introduce him gently so its not too strange for them :) hope it all goes ok! xx

I think you should take your time getting to know him and see where it goes. If it looks like it's going well, then be brave and introduce him. There's nothing wrong with the age gap, just take it slow, get to know him and if he seems like a great guy, introduce him and stand up.
