writes: Dear Cupids,I like a guy and we have started seeing each other - I am just 26 and he is 21 so I am worried that this may not work due to the age difference. He seems pretty grown up. If you really like someone does age matter? He is still studying (in his and I have quite a good job and would like to settle down with somebody in the next few years, although he seems to be quite comfortable when it comes to money, either somewhere he has inherited a lot or his parents are very wealthy.I am also thinking cause of his age he may not want to get into anything serious.What do you think? xx

 I don't think age gaps really matter as long as they are legal (perhaps I am biased as my husband is 10 years younger). I don't think it always matters if you are in different stages on your life. I also don't think being aged 21 bars him from settling down. My advice would be to stop analysing those things that seem negative to you in any potential relationship and focus on the positive aspects - do you have enough in common? Are you good friends as well as any romantic connection?
