Let me pose it to you this way. Suppose you were dating an equally-awesome guy but he was a decade other than you? I'll bet you would be very quick to defend it with "age doesn't really matter."
If age really doesn't matter, then younger doesn't matter either, does it?

 If he is the best boyfriend you have ever had why would you let a tiny 2 year age gap bother you so much, he doesnt let it so why do you? Dont risk a relationship over age espeically two years just dont think about it age after all is just a number.

 Hello Anonymous,
What about the two year age gap makes you uncomfortable? Can you explain a little further? Is it because of something that *you* feel, or is it because people are poking fun at you for dating someone younger?
If you two get along that well, I couldn't imagine you'd actually be thinking that the age gap is that big of a problem unless someone else is trying to tell you otherwise. (Maybe I'm wrong?)
If someone is nagging you about it, tell them to get lost. This guy seems to treat you like a queen. Would it be better if you got with someone two years OLDER who treated you like dirt? To me, it seems like the other people are just jealous. Maybe they have issues that they need to deal with on their own, and are dragging you into it: misery loves company, you know.
But if *you* yourself are actually uncomfortable, you need to figure out what it is about the age difference that's really making you feel weird. Is this a new relationship, by any chance? Maybe once you two have been together for a while, you won't even think about your age in relation to his anymore. I don't see why you would... But if it really poses a problem, you should probably think about finding someone who suits all of your needs. I'm sure your guy won't want to go through life hearing about how you don't like his age if you two remain together and that stays near the top of your priority list.
Take care.

 Two years of difference is nothing. Just don't worry about it.

 A two year age gap is really nothing atal. You say that out of all the guys you have dated he tops them all. So enjoy your relationship together and stop dwelling on something as small as a 2 year age gap.
All the best x

 Trust me, at your age, a two year age gap is perfectly fine. If he loves you and you love him, stop thinking about something as trivial as a small age gap. Enjoy your time with him and be yourself!

 You really dont have to worry about it, and the end of the day, it is only 2 years!! If it was 20 years then maybe you should re-think things...but nice men who will e besotted with you and tick nearly every box on your list, are so hard to come by, so id just enjoy him and the things you do together...and stop fretting, because as you said, he's the best guy you have ever dated.. Just have fun, 2 years is nothing.x
