How big of an age gap between two people is "too big"?

Question

I have no idea how it happened, but I m attracted to a guy who is 4 years younger than I am but acts mature for his age. I know later on in life, it won t bother me at all. (My mom is 4 years older than my dad, no one frowns upon it and they re so in love) But right now, I m 20 and this guy is 16. Is that too weird... I feel like I would get judged harshly for it, but I feel like later on in life, I wouldn t... So I m wondering, how big is "too big", when it comes to age gaps?

I don't think that 4 years is too big of a gap. When it comes to age differences, in most instances the reason why people become a bit apprehensive about big gaps is because of the maturity levels. For instance, it is generally perceived that older guys are better for a girl who is younger because he can bring stability. In saying that, this is highly subjective and doesn't apply to every single couple. Basically if this guy is mature and you both love each other then there is no reason why you shouldn't be together with each other.

as long as you are both classed as adults ie both over the local age of consent (dont assume its 18 check it out) then age really does not matter and if you worry what others think you dont really care enough ---- it would be nice if it was about maturity but its not its how you feel about each other and you cant put limits on that
