Age gap relationship and friendship

Sholay09

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?

  • No one is really an authority to answer this especially not me but for what it's worth.  No, age gaps are not an issue, sometimes older people who are emotionally stable and sure of themselves can act as a stabilising force in the tumultuous emotional roller coaster that is being autistic and in your twenties.  Sometimes men find it flattering to be found attractive by a younger women and to be looked up to and so in that sense the relationship can healthy and beneficial to both parties in different ways.  

    What do you think you will get out of a relationship with an older person?
