We met like four years ago and have gotten to know each other since then. We talk about our lives, work, struggles, relationships, video games, music, et cetera. Sometimes, though, I feel like this friendship shouldn’t exist because people may find it strange that I am friends with someone 14 years older than me. What do you think?
Different cultures have widely different attitudes toward ages. Personally, as an American, I wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow. This seems perfectly normal to me.
IMHO, once you reach drinking age, it just doesn’t matter very much.
Heck, you’re even within the half-plus-seven rule for relationships!
