Normally at that age, it's the other way around. But to be honest, if you love him and he loves you, it shouldn't matter at all. Just keep in mind that even though he may not appear it to you, he IS MUCH LESS MATURE THAN YOU. So be careful. I wish you both the best of luck! :)

It doesn't really matter what the age differences are aslong as you are both happy and you will have enough time to spend together. Other people can always be funny with age differences, especially family but aslong as you both enjoy time together and are committed... it doesn't matter.

a women can think equally with the age of 5years older than him, thats why the men marry 5years younger women, coming to your situation, its depends on your decision, you have to respect his thoughts and give equal importance in all occasions.

hi Pranan, there's nothing wrong with having a toyboy so what else is really the problem? if you like each other then just enjoy the time spent together. you,ll always be 2 years older than him but as time goes on amoungst all lifes other relationship problems this will fade. honest.

Don't tell your age at discussion. You go to read FAQ'S guideline.

For me, Age difference doesn't matter. What matters is the maturity of each individual to be in the relationship and that both parties meet halfway...:D

It depends, if the age affects your relationship, something is wrong. But if none, nothing's wrong. Just keep the relationship mutual don't let idea of the age devour your head.
