Me and the guy in question are friends. We haven't know each other long as we met through starting college. He's in all the same classes as me and we spend all the time at college we have together. We enjoy each others company and he has often said he's glad i'm at college because if I wasn't it wouldn't be as fun. We talk about anything and everything, finish each others sentences and make each other laugh all the time. I want to tell him I like him, but i'm not sure how too or if the age gap will create a problem?

I met my husband when I was 16. He's six years older than me. We were married when I was 20 and have been together since. I am now an old married woman of 47 and still know I did the right thing. Much more of a gap and there's little in common and anyone that says he's childish liking someone younger needs to remember that any man with no child inside is just a grumpy old goat with no fun in life.
Tell him you like him, if you're already friends you've won half the battle already!

The age gap (and believe me that's not much of a gap) won't be a problem unless you make it a problem. My other half is 7 years older than me and I know lots of people who have 10 and 15 year age gaps. Its not an issue if you like eachother. Don't worry, just see how things go from here. Good luck :-)

My partner and I have 5 years between us. I am 23 and he is 28. It has never been a problem for us at all. We met when I was 18, I had a 10 month son and I was looking for more in a relationship than men my own age could provide me. My partner has never made me feel younger than him and we get on really well. We have just had a child together and I am happier with him than I have ever been in any other relationship. I say go for it and good luck.

A six year age gap should be no problem at all - but do you think he wants to be anything more than a friend? It sounds like he hasn't made any overtures in this direction. If you like him and he is being reticent, then just go for it and tell him how you feel - if you are sure? Because there is no going back from something like this.

It all depends on the people themselves not the age gap , too much is made of the gap, may i advise caution and not to overreach time will tell for sure but you should just enjoy what you have for what it is rather than worry what might,if, etc njoy and live for today good luck xx

it depends on the age. if you are 11 and he is 17, you see the problem? if he is 27 and you are 21, not that biggie of a problem isn't it?
the older you are, the wider the age gap goes. but if you're still young, you're still developing your brain and going through puberty.
oh and if you're the one that's older than him, i don't see a problem. some guys like older women as they tend to take relationships more seriously!
