Honestly the bad thing about age gaps isn’t necessarily the gap, it’s whether they use that experience to take advantage of you. If you’re comfortable, I wouldn’t worry

My parents had a 30 year age gap and were perfectly happy my mom had to pursue him for 10 years before he agreed to take her on a date and the rest is history

If you have your own conviction then why ask others? I’m sure you know there are people with age gaps of over 20 years- in their case no one but themselves decided whether they were ok with that or not, if the other person made them happy enough to ignore their age gap, or if they thought that person was enough to ignore any previous perception on age gaps they may have had. So it’s your decision entirely whether a 5 yr age gap is going to be a problem. What you two think is all that matters.

Does this guy even know you think he’s the man of your dreams or at the very least do you talk to him?
