A blanket answer can't be given for a question like this, since every case is different. It is really ultimately up to you. There are some questions you should consider. Some relationships with large age gaps are total disasters, but others work out beautifully. Like all relationships, it all comes down to the individuals. However, ones with large age gaps can have some special considerations.

One of the first things you need to consider is legality. Are you at an age that this relationship is even legal and appropriate. If you are 18 and he is 34, it might be legal, but may not always be appropriate. Who is this person in your life?

Are you still living at home? If so, how do your parents feel about it? Is this relationship going to cause problems for you and your family? Is he willing to submit to the rules your parents have for you in their home?

Do you know without a doubt that he feels the same? Is it possible that as a man moving towards middle age, he is seeing a much younger girl as a more sexual relationship than an emotional one? If so, are you okay with this if you are actually in love?

As an older man, does he already have an existing family? Does he have children of his own? As a younger person, are you ready to be placed into a position that you can potentially become a parent type figure, along with all the responsibilities?

As a younger person (assuming young adult), your ideas, beliefs, and even personality will all be changing rapidly over the next few years. Is this someone set in their ways, or they be willing to accept your changes?

Girls tend to mature quicker than boys so your situation is unusual. If you are both "in love" then you have to deal with the age difference and what your friends think. By the time you are in your twenties no one will care.

How many years apart can you be to date?

Hmm..this is tricky..i mean it doesnt really matter but if youre like 13/14 then i would say that there can only be 4 years difference at the most..but if you are like 21 or 20 then there can be like 5, 6, 7, 8 years difference..i mean my friends parents are 15 years apart so..i guess it all depends on how old you are at that time. But i think if you are a minor than..4 years max. I mean love can't separate you soo...yeah it's only logical.
