Hmm... well as far as the REASONS that you're interested in her... I won't even go there. LOL!

BUT, there is an 8 year gap between my boyfriend and myself and it hasn't presented any problems for us. His family was very upset by it at first, though. I would say that if the age gap doesn't bother the two of you, what does it matter how others feel? Even her parents... It is good to show them RESPECT, but that doesn't mean that you two shouldn't pursue a relationship because her parents don't like it. She's an adult. They need to start treating her like one. But if you do this, be prepared to deal with a bit of ridicule. That will go away if the relationship lasts and proves them all wrong. Good luck!
