 I'm 18, my man is 24. We're mostly on the same level. The only issue I even think of is how my father would react, he just generally does not want any guy near me ever but last time I said I was interested in someone, only a year older than me, he went crazy.
That aside, no problems.

 It is not a major age gap and if the maturity is around the same it shouldnt be an issue, just remember that at 25 he may be on your maturity level, but he has had more life and relationship experience than you have.

 depending on the individuals, the age gap could go completely unnoticed. if you two are devoted and truly care for one another, that should overshadow any concern of maturity. my wife is 21 to my 34, and due to the fact she is wise beyond her years, and i refuse to grow past 19, ( mentally of course ), we get along swimmingly. we share the love for most everything, from books, to socks to vegetables. Certainly age plays a role, but when it comes to happiness, only what's in your hearts and minds is of any importance. i hope this gave you at least a modicum of confidence. so keep the hope alive, and good luck.

I know many people who are dating and have far bigger age gaps, it just depends on the person in question.
Hope I could help! :)

Age doesn't matter at all as long as you both are meant to be :)
