 If he were 14 and you were 18 this would be highly innappropriate. But at 18 and 22 you are both adults and can explore a legitimate relationship together. You are both quite young and have a lot of growing and exploring and maturing to do. Perhaps you will do it together.

I agree with the other aunt and uncle, you clearly care about each other and want to be together so why shouldn't you be? Yes some may say 18 is still young but in my opinion so is 22, just because your that little bit older doesn't mean he can't continue doing the things he wants to do just make sure that you support him which I believe you will.
You both know that you wouldn't try and hold each other back and as long as you know the truth who cares what opinion others have!

 If you like him, pursue him. If he is good to you, and you enjoy being around him, the age gap shouldn't matter. It's a small gap, at that.
Best wishes,

 this is not a big deal,he is only 4 years younger,if the bith of you are happy then stuff what people think.
he knows his own mind and from what you say he does so dont worrry.
just because you are with him,it doesnt mean that he cant further his edducation. you are both adults and i think by the sounds of things,you will both be really happy with eachother. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
