As long as your not a child and are of age of consent it doesn’t matter

It depends on how old you both are. A 42-year-old and a 35-year-old are more likely to have things in common, be in the same stages of their lives, etc. than a 16-year-old and a 19-year-old. Plus teenage relationships are unlikely to last more than a few years. I’m sure thirty people will reply to this saying they’ve been with their SO since they were teens but with 7,000,000,000 people on the planet, that’s statistically insignificant.

My boyfriend is 12 years older. I think we have a wonderful relationship but it depends on your dynamics with the person

As long as you are both adults, doesn’t matter. My last ex that was a cheating whore was 11 years younger than me. I was 33/32 when we met he was 23 but “acted”mature and put together. He looked older than me, I still get carded. 5 years of nothing but bs and in the end found out he had proudly slept with over 250 women in the last 5 years that we were together. My current guy is 46 and I’m 41. I couldn’t be happier. Maturity, what you have in common, are in the same place in life. Are understanding of each other’s pasts. My guy comes with physical baggage, kids and ex wives, I come with a hell of a lot of emotional baggage, but he’s the most patient and understanding man we titled it exclusively complicated which is exactly what we are. Been together since October 2019. He’s such a fatherly manly figure, he’s a good father, a good person, looks out for others an all around good guy. At the same token you can be an older man that doesn’t have his life together and is depending on you for everything that’s a drain on you etc.
