U cannot judge others by their age. And personally, i'd simply say: "what's wrong with loving someone who's lived more years than you?". It's not like it's forbidden anywhere. People need to open their minds a bit and stop being so shallow as to creating barriers like AGE for example.
The opinion differs to the preferences of the person as well. If a person prefers to date someone mature, having sensible talks, experienced, then to them, your situation would be favorable.
But to those who prefer to be on the dominant stage, having someone to look after, etc, then your situation would not seem favorable.
Personally - i think ur situation is quite normal. We cannot always say that "Older" means "mature". Many youths nowadays are mature while older adults still think like children. Let's not judge and read between the lines, shall we?
