Age gap relationship and friendship

Hello I wanted to ask whether age gap relationships and friendships are actually ok if both people are 18 and over and if they are both happy and not bothered about the age difference. Also I ask this because I am thinking about finding some older friends and an older boyfriend as I am now 20 years of age and I need some advice please?

  • Having been diagnosed with autism later in life as an older Irish gay man in the U.K. 21 years  (I’m now 53) and coming from an Irish Catholic background, raised an only child, I’d known that even within gay circles and within my family circle, age gap relationships (or my having any friendships or even acquaintances with anyone) was always strongly discouraged and disapproved of right from the start, even when I’d lived in Ireland
