Age doesn't matter except in the scenario I posted above. I still think you should just talk to him on what you want from this relationship. You as in both of you. If the two of you are sure that this relationship are headed in the correct direction, there's nothing wrong with being together. Just make sure that you know him well enough before you make this decision. Personally, much as I say that age doesn't matter, I think if it came to me I would be wary. And KirstyM, getting along well is not really good enough. There must be an emotional connection and both of you must be headed in the same direction.
