Age gap - is it weird?

[Dressingownvibes]

I started speaking to a man on Facebook dating a couple of weeks ago, seemed to get on really well and both have similar interests. We finally met last night for a drink, went well, lots to talk about. Had a quick kiss before we left and we've been texting today. I do actually really like him but he's 25 and I'm 29.

We both work full time but I have my own house (bought a couple of years ago) and he still lives at home with family. It's not really an issue as I understand it's hard to get on the ladder these days. Neither of us have kids.

The age gap is niggling at me but I'm not sure why. If roles were reversed I wouldn't think anything of it so I'm not sure why it's bothering me. I've always dated older men (30-40) so maybe that's why. He seems lovely so far. Am I just being wierd and overthinking things?

I'm worried what family/friends will think which I know is probably daft!!

This is a troll post right?

4 years in your twenties isn’t an age gap. Although if you think it is then maybe you should reconsider.

DH is 7 years older and in my head we’re the same age.

My BIL is 3 years younger then my sister. He's lovely and there a perfect match. Wouldn't really consider these kind of ranges an age gap either way

DH was 25 and I was 29 when we got married. That was 24 years ago. Still married.

I don't think the age gap is bad at all. Age really is only a number when your an adult! I was 24 when I met hubby he was 41. If you are compatible then go for it!

Dh was 21 when I met him and I was just turning 28. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Looking back, it was probably weirder than it seemed at the time. He was still in uni living in a uni flat, going home to parents at the holidays, and I’d been living on my own for like 8 years at that point. At the time, we were just in love and he was lovely and I didn’t think too much about it. But his family must have thought it was bonkers (but were too polite to say!).

We got married when Dh was 24 and had our first dc at 25. We’re now late 30s and mid 40s. He is by far the most sensible, mature man I’ve ever met. I don’t even think about the age gap now. We’ve had a very happy life together so far.
