its cool if you really love him. just one thing to becareful for. i had a gf that was 29 and im 23. we broke up...one of the reasons being that she wanted things that i wasnt ready to give her (marriage, kids, family life, those sorts of things) she ended it because she knew i cudnt give it to her. i wanted to but it wudnt have been fair to me (so she says)i still had my whole life ahead of me while she was ready to settle down. then finances was another story. the best advice i can give is 1:if you really love him commit to it bcuz i assure u...THERE WILL BE MAJOR CONFLICTS IN THAT RELATIONSHIP... but if your willing to work through the storms the relationship will be that much stronger...2:accept that hes younger and that your views on things may be different...i mean c'mon u cant expect to be on the same level with him intellectually all the time...but know that the time he spends around u may change his thinking, u might even learn a few things...3:dont try to change him into a "man" but at the same time dont let him remain a boy...bcuz wen u change him he might lose watever it was that attracted you to him in the first place... and finally 4:dont rush him, hes not really a "man" right now but i garuntee you with time and just genuine love he'll become everything you want...maybe more...he'll have that urge to WANT to give you more... take it slow and get ready for a bumpy ride...but if things go well your ending shud be really nice...

Well you could always go by the old school trick thing, divide your age in half and add 7. By that method, he's within the age range where people shouldn't judge you. But the real question is whether or not you want to date him. If the answer is yes, everything is legal, then go for it.

It's not wrong and couples where the woman is older than the man are becoming more common and more socially accepted by the day.
It all depends from what your plans are, though, in which direction you want your relationship to go. At 28 many women feel ready for getting married and raising a family, while a guy of 20 or 21 may not be ready , either psychologically or financially or both. If you are not in a hurry of settling down, then... enjoy your young love :)
