Is it weird for a 19 year old to date a 23 year old?

My daughter is 19 born Jan 10, 2005 and her boyfriend is 23 born Nov 2000. I know they're not that far apart in age, but it feels weird to me for some reason.

No, it's not much of an age gap. They are both of the same generation and have a lot in common. It's entirely possible that they have the same level of maturity because girls tend to mature earlier than guys mentally and emotionally.
They are also both adults and capable of deciding if they are a good fit.
And if they wind up staying together for years or for life, a 4 year age gap will be nothing.
Do you think you did a good job raising your daughter to make wise decisions for herself?

at that age, it's a tad askew. She's old enough to be a college graduate, and he's the age of a college freshman. He's still 2 years away from being legally able to drink.

Two years from now, it won't seem as weird, but it's odd. Not wrong, but not that normal.

it's a bit of a big age gap. i'm also 23 (funny enough also born in nov 2000) and i'm not very interested in dating a 19 yo especially a freshly turned 19 yo because they're too immature and 4 years is a lot for me. i dont know if it's a bit weird or not but i can say if it's weird it wouldn't be that weird and it's not exactly predatory anyways. 19 & 23 is still in the same age range after all, and if he's still a student its still the same life stage also

When they're younger like early 20s and late teens, it does seem a bit weird. But in the grand scheme of things, it's perfectly normal and acceptable. Now if he was 25 or older, then yeah that's when it starts to get weird and I would be concerned.

no not really much of an age gap in my view , its within the range of still both being fairly young and there both college aged in the sense

Yeah, he is too young. She should date someone a bit older.
