I've fallen for a woman who's 9 years older than me, is that unusual?

She asked me out first and we've been out on a number of dates, now I like her back.

This is one of those questions you should’ve been asking before you went on all those dates. I’m sure you’ve already thought about it at some point and still chose to give it a shot.

Well I usually think of it like this: if a man was 9 years older it wouldn't be weird so it shouldn't be weird if it was reversed.

It ain't like she's 20 years older neither is she old enough to be your mom. 9 years ain't that much older. If you like her then keep seeing her, why worry about what other people think.

You over 30, so you giving up on having children? that's why it's so unusual.

Yes, but so what? Only two people get a vote.

Yes, it's quite unusual in my opinion.
