Hmmm...that is interesting. I have dated guys younger than me more than once and my age never bothered them. My boyfriend right now is a whole five years younger than me. His family assume we are the same age

Yeah, I also think this guy overreacted some. But I understand that it is usually more acceptable for there to be a more significant age gap between a guy and girl when the guy is older, by like even 10 or more years, but if the girl is a couple years older it is something taboo

Age is just age. When people are compatible it doesn't matter. Well, it shouldn't anyway.
