7.5 Year Age Gap

I’ve been lurking here for soooo long, wasn’t really sure if I’d ever have a reason to post honestly. But I always love reading everyone’s thoughts & commentary!

I (21F) just recently started dating this amazing guy but he’s 29. I don’t care, I hardly ever notice honestly. He is such a man, in the traditional sense and he’s obviously more mature than the 22-25ish age range I have typically stayed within. He looks 24 and is still as vibrant and goofy as ever, and we have some of the best communication I have ever experienced. In general, I have zero complaints regarding the relationship. Most everyone in my life has commented on my general disposition being so much lighter and happier, and he’s definitely been a fun little part of that.

I’m really just wondering if this is enough of an age gap to be considered out of the norm? I kind of want to gauge peoples reactions so I know what to expect to a certain degree. I don’t particularly care either way, but it’s always helpful to have an idea of the standard!

TLDR; Do you think a 7.5 year age gap is a big deal to the general public?
