You have all made some very good points. It really depends on the individual. Now that I am a mom, with a daughter who is only a few years away from dating age, I will probably be quite opinionated when it comes to her choice of dates!! I wouldn't want my high school girl dating a college boy, most likely. But when she is out on her own and if she chooses to date someone older, and falls in love, then I will support her.

Heck, my husband is five years younger than I am. I worried about that for about one day when we first started dating!!!! Then, I was fine!!! He still loves to joke about his "older woman", but it is all in fun.
