After a while he lost interest in going out to clubs and I was still young and wanted to go with my friends - that caused a few arguments then!!! But on the whole it was fine.
I also dated a guy 4 1/2 years younger than me too and the age gap was never an issue either. Its how you get on together as a couple and respect each other are the main factor not the age gap.
Just enjoy yourself and don't worry about the age :)

My first husband was 4 years older than me, then the second partner was 6 years older and now my husband is two years younger. Stop worrying and enjoy each other. The issue become bad if one of the partnership is under 16, so i hope you are not.
take care

Like other people have said, so long as neither of you are minors then there's no problem with it at all. Age aint nothing but a number.

 Hello.
Age is not a problem as long as the person is of legal age in your city (US),i dont know your legal status on this, but i think you should check it out then you wont have a problem, in the UK there are a lot of people with an age gap and they seem to be doing very well for them selfs.
hope this helps
