I agree with everyone that age is a number and that every persons maturity is different.

But also one fact that I heard (which is true in some cases not all) is that men are 4 years behind women in maturity (when still maturing). So that age gap could put them on the same maturity level. The most important thing is how they treat eachother and if they are happy.

That's no too bad an age gap.

She would be doing A-levels and he would be at uni. Or if they were not in education then they would both be working.

The only problem they are going to have is if they go out and she gets IDed then it's not going to be very romantic being asked to leave a bar.

Good Luck!! xx

PsyCookie agony auntI agree with aphexinfinite. Age is just a number BUT we always have to remember if that age is legal to do stuff with

But since in this case it is, I see no problem with it.

Love knows no boundaries. Just remember that.

There is more to a relationship than the age of the people involved. Mainly are they happy together? Thats more important than that number will ever be.
