What is a suitable age gap for me

I'm 18 years old. What could be the max age i could be dating before it turns weird, and if that range wound increase, when would it? Bearing in mind that I live in England so some age ranges r weird.

I'm sort of confused about what age gaps are normal bc everywhere i look, the range is either like 2 years or 5 or even 10 years. idk 10 years is alot but it does seem different if ur 30 years old or smt.

Like i've seen posts where people think an 18 year old and 26 year old is perfectly fine whereas people act like its a crime so im confused what the social norm/expectation is.

From my perspective, I think at 18, the age gap I'm alright with is 5 years above, nothing below; However a 10 years gap should be alright if you're around 30-60 and so on.
