It's good to see where the majority stand, bodes well for my relationship and telling my Mum.

 You can fall in love at any age. If you love this person then DO NOT let him go, no matter what the age. After you become an adult you can just drop your age anyway. It's not important. Age is just a number, after all. So what, he's been alive longer than you. Who really cares?
Wishing you the best with your mum and hope you have a good future with this person.

You can fall in love at any age. It doesn't matter how old you are to love someone. You love them for them and not their age! As long as you wait until you are ready to do whatever with him, age is not important at all. Nine years isn't even that bad. There's bigger age gaps around.
Good luck telling your Mum. I hope it goes well!
Wish you all the best!

The age difference means jack squat now. If you two are happy then to hell with what anyone else thinks.

9 years is a big difference, personally i think he is too old for you but if you love him then you love him. the thing is that 9 years is not a big deal when your 40 and 49, but it is when your 18 and 27. the thing is are you at the same maturity level, and are you both looking for the same things in your life right now. for example, clashes that could occur are things like, he has finished uni and has a job and now wants a family, your just starting your education etc. you need to work out if he is at the same point as you are in life, that goes for every relationship but especially one with such a huge age gap.
