I don't think the age difference would normally be a problem because there is very little age difference, but you seem kinda immature to me, like a high school kid always worried what the other kids think.

 who cares what anybody else thinks as long as you are happy and your not hurting anyone then what is the problem at the end of the day age is just a number and it sounds to me that maybe your ex is jealous and also your friends i have been told numerous times that sleeping with an older woman is better as they have more expieriance. as long as you two are happy together then there is no need to worry it is YOUR relationship not your mates or your ex's enjoy the time you have together who knows what could happen. Good Luck. Hope this helped !!

 If you love her and visa versa, that kind of age difference isn't an issue. My boyfriend and his second wife (she's 5 years older)married and were together for 15 years before they divorced--another story. Didn't seem to bother him...NOW SHE DOES LOOK OLDER since she's over 50, but looking back at old pictures, she wasn't half bad and together, they didn't appear that far apart in age. So, it is up to the couple, NOT YOUR immature friends. What matters? Their opinion, or your feelings?

The problem here is only one. The problem that you see. You say you love her so there are no problems. If you choose to succomb to your friends and loose your girlfriend it is a choice that you and you alone have made.
Believe you me 5 years is no age differance whatsoever.
I know at the age of 18 I would have loved to have gone out with a 23 year old instead of some of the giggily girls my age and a year or two younger who never knew what they wanted out of life.

if you love her like you say you do then it shouldnt bother you what your friends think.. if anything you are more mature then them because you can get a 23 year old, and get along with her too.. i say go for it. if you love her you should be with her. ignore your friends... they will shut up in time. with my ex boyfriend, it took almost a year for people to quit talking about it, but eventually it stopped.
best of luck

The great majority of relationships have a 7 year age difference in them. Your friends....like you are too young in the mind. This girl is not too old for you.
