he's funny, attractive, and kind. He talks to me a lot, even when we may be having a convo with other people, but i just have mixed emotions about him. i got to him really well, for the last few months. he's a great friend and he's a great person.

Well, it depends how old you are...if you are 14 and he's 19 I would say no way. But if you are of legal age then what's stopping you? It's a little hard if he likes to go to bars and hang out and you can't get in but it can work. I was 20 when I started dating my husband who was 26. At first we refused to pursue the relationship because of the age difference but soon we realized it was inevitable...we were destined for one another.
Good luck!

Five years are not very much when it comes to age difference. Besides, it is always good for the guy to be a bit older than you since he probably has the level of maturity that you need in a man. It usually takes men much longer than women to want to settle down so the fact that he is older than you is actually a plus.
I do hope, however, that you are at least 25 or so unless you have no ambition in life and are looking for a man to take care of you. Otherwise, I highly advise you to educate yourself and have something to contribute to the relationship. Men are looking for a contributing partner and not simply a pretty face. Either way, take your time and do not rush into anything. A lengthy courtship of about two years will ensure that you know each other well enough to make an educated decision as to your compatibility.

The fact you mention he's 5 years older than you....to me, that seems like it could be a challenge. Being friends and actually becoming a couple are 2 different things. Sometimes people are the BEST of friends, than they cross that line and become a couple. Is it worth it? Do you have a lot in common. Follow your heart. Good luck.

Well, if you are want him to be just your friend then the age difference doesn't really matter, I am assuming that is what concerns you. If you see him as a potential boyfriend then it really depends on how old you are. If you are 14 and he is 19 for example that is a very big difference as far as maturity goes. if you are 20 and he is 25 then you should be on the same level if not close to it. With that being said it comes down to how comfortable you are with him and if you really want to be with him and how he feels about you.

Wow.That age difference is not that significant. I prefer older men because most I know are such gentlemen. That is a great thing. If you are less than 18 don't go there.

Age really does not matter, I married somebody that is 10 years older than me, and we have a great marriage.

Well it depends on how old you are. If you are 23 and he is 28 it is no big deal.
But if you are 13 and he is 18 it is a HUGELY big deal.

judging from your avatar, you are in your 20th, at that age 5 years age difference is not that big a problem, I'd say go for it and see what develops.

Five years older that's not bad. It's what you feel and he feel that matters.
