It is important to consider the potential challenges and power dynamics that may arise in a relationship with a significant age gap.
A 13-year age difference can create a power imbalance, as the older partner may have more life experience, financial stability, and social influence. It is important to ensure that both partners are entering the relationship willingly and without coercion or manipulation from the other partner.
It is also important to consider the developmental differences that may exist between partners with a significant age gap. For example, the younger partner may still be in a stage of self-discovery and exploration, while the older partner may be more settled in their career and personal life. These differences can create challenges in communication, shared experiences, and long-term goals.
Ultimately, the decision to pursue a relationship with an age gap is a personal one that should be made with careful consideration and respect for both partners' needs and boundaries. It may be helpful to seek the guidance of a therapist or counselor to explore any concerns or challenges that may arise in the relationship, and to prioritize open communication and mutual respect in any interaction or relationship.

What's the problem? You're both adults. Go for it!
It's not creepy! It's fine now but later the age difference could cause problems. When the woman is 40, and would still like to have some social life, like inviting people over, or whatever, the guy is already 53, slowing down etc. Not to mention male sexual problems that come with age. These age-related problems will creep in slowly.
Of course, if they love and respect each other, they will solve those problems.
It doesn't matter what we think, it's what SHE thinks. Look at Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones and their age difference. It wasn't until he needed Depend diapers and constant changing that she finally dumped him. Typical Gold Digger. But in the scheme of things, 13 years difference is nothing after you are 18. Love always breeds some strange bed fellows.

No
Not creepy
I'm dating a man 15 years older.
My girlfriend and I are a 12 years 8 months 5 days apart or as most would say 13 years apart. She is older than me. Been together for 9 years 6 months.
It's OK. I had a 15 year gap between. My wife. I met her at age 14 at church and our relationship started through friendship and later love.
It does sound like a bit much. I’m not sure if I’d go past a 10 year difference. It’s probably fine, though.
I think it's fine both are adults it's nothing to do with anyone else of course people will always judge no matter what you do
As long as we are talking 37 and 24 and not 24 and 11, it is fine.
Once they're both adults, it's no one's business.
It is no problem and also, nobody elses business.
Do you mean legally or my PERSONAL opinion. Because legally anything between consenting adults is fine. For me personally that's a hell of a gap.
A woman being 24 isn't a baby. Unless she was 19.
Well it’s definitely creepy if she’s the older one and there’s a 13 year gap! Lol
I am 45 and I'd be serious with an 18yr old if we click
