We are providing good discussion, analyzing pros and cons, but in reality the person is REALLY asking us whether it will LOOK right to date someone older, a different race, ethnicity, same sex, different religion, etc.
They are looking for reassurance that they are not wierd, different, or will get looked upon hostiley by their peers and authority figures.
Shrug.
Otherwise, why the hell are they asking us if something is going to work out between them and another human being based solely on one arbitray thing lol?
Good discussion nonetheless.

James, I think you underestimate people sometimes. Do you really think that people are so weak and wrapped up in the opinions of others? LOL, for the sake of our society, I hope not.
I think that when people post questions such as this one, they are looking for more than just a reaction to how they will "look" because of whom they are dating. There *are* issues that arise when there is a large age difference between people, and someone just getting into a dating relationship that involves an age gap and is concerned may want to get other opinions from people who have been there. Don't you think?
