I mean I naturally picky with friends and only have a select through.Also its not on a fancying level as she has got a boyfriend and I just see her as a mate.She is quite mature and not just a gobby teenager that likes getting drunk , also I speak to her about things I can’t with lad mates But year is this too odd .Thank you

It's not weird. It's weird if you over-think it to the point that you make yourself feel like it's weird.

Not really. Friends kind of cross age boundaries a lot more than relationships.
And.... as long as the BF doesn't see it as a problem.

I wouldn't over think this. A good friend is a good friend, regardless of their age or gender. It's not like you're talking to an underage girl, and you're not trying to date her anyway.

Sometimes people may judge age-differences; because sometimes it is weird. If you both can relate on the same level and sex is definitely not an issue? What's your real concern? It might be tough for a wife or a girlfriend to swallow.
If you live in a small-town where neighbors are nosy and/or judgmental; then there will be talk and fish-eyes. If you behave maturely and responsibly yourself, never mind that.
