28 is cool! That would make the guy um a ya 22.

This is a good age differance and should not have any negative impact on the relationship what so ever. The important thing is are you happy? Is he happy? If yes then enjoy and don’t let the age become a factor WHAT SO EVER!

Yes, we are happy together, because we love each other, just sometimes I think about age. It bothers me.

As long as you two are in the same place in your lives — i.e. both independent (financially and emotionally), working, living on your own etc. Or, alternatively, both in school, living at home, etc.

If your guy is actually mature and a good boyfriend at such a young age, then yes, hold on to him! Guys age faster, so dating a younger guy is a great idea!

No no, definitely not mature faster!!!! I mean down the line they get old faster, so it’s better to start with a younger guy.

The age difference means nothing.Soul mates is what counts.Not age.
