I don't think it matters aslong as you're both happy together.
No, seems ok to me.

I'll be 19 soon and my boyfriend is 23 so it's in reverse but we've never had anybody say anything about the gap, it's what 4 years? :smile:

Meh, no matter.
Nah that's not too big, one of my friends goes out with someone 9 years older and it works for them. If your happy and it works, what's the problem? :smile:

Does this honestly bother you? I don't see the problem and if you like her just go for it :smile:

Nah I guess not. If she has a problem with it it raises doubts over her level of maturity in dealing with the situation, not mine.

What i meant to say is that it doesn't bother me at all, but I thought it might bother her.

Thats unusal, normally its the older guy and the younger girl.

I wouldn't think its a proplem as its only four years.

i dont see the problem its not as though its a really large age gap.
My mum and her ex boyfriend had 21 years between them, it really makes no difference.
Personally I'd be bothered. If it was the other way round (you being older and her younger), then it wouldn't matter so much. The reason behind this is females tend to be more mature than males, so at that age, a 19 year old male might still be considered immature, whereas a 23 year old female might be considered fully mature. It's an opinionated thing at the end of the day. And as the others said, as long as you're happy.
seems fine tbh
If you think it bothers her then ask her. Personally I think she wouldn't be with you if it did.
I don't think it's a problem.
You are both over 18 and consenting adults.
Anyway it's only 4 years, don't worry. It's fine :smile:
Nah, it's all good as long as you're both happy. My boyfriend's two years younger than me but is really mature for his age, so I don't even notice. :smile:
