I think you should date him because you seem to really like him and if you are worried of what other people might think ( which is usually the case ) then u shouldn't be! Age isn't important. If you love him then you should go for it!

Who cares about age?

As long as he's legal go for it.

You think people make a big deal about a 2-10 year age difference when their in their thirties? Noooo. So it shouldnt bother you now

sugar_sugar agony auntHow much younger? I think it's okay to do, though from previous experience I would be very reluctant to do it again.

In my own experience even though my ex was only a couple of years younger than me I found him worlds apart in terms of life experience, independence and even goals. That's not reflective of every case out there of course, just something for you to think about :)

As for his thoughts on the matter, I'm sure he would be surprised and flattered that an older girl wants to date him.

Good luck

If you are both in college, what's the problem? It's not like he's not a legal adult--age is just a number once you both are to the age of majority. My boyfriend is 5 months younger than me and I'm in high school. Nobody cares about a few months, or even years, really. If you value what other people think of you dating a younger guy over your own happiness with him, that's a totally separate problem.

Good luck, I hope this helped,
