I agree with everyone. Terry is 15 years older than me. But picture this. He's 28, been married once but now divorced, well on his way in his first "real" job, really into Corvettes and racing. I'm 13, a geeky barely teenager, still have my Barbie dolls lined up in my room and not even beginning to "sprout."

28 years ago when this was the case, it would have been totally sick of him to even remotely consider dating me. But when we finally did meet and start dating, he was 47 and I was 32 - well old enough to be over the age difference.

My Grandma was 20 years younger than my Grandpa and Terry's dad divorced Terry's mom and ended up marrying a woman 15 years younger than him. So I guess it sort of runs in our families.

So it completely depends on the age of the people. 18 and 13 or 14 is too much of a difference. 25 and 21 is not. When I was 18 I was dating a guy that was 26. I didn't think so at the time, but I now see that was too much of a difference.
