I am 23 currently.
The reason I asked was because my family (specifically my mom) hates the idea of me dating a man older then 10 years older then me. I had a male friend that was 45 that asked me to be friends and see where that goes. Well my mom found out and basically harassed me until I told my male friend to screw off and I hated even knowing him. That freaked me out and to this day I am petrified of dating anyone that my family doesn't know. I'm still freaked out even typing this...
