How to deal with an older woman

I've been separated with my Girlfriend for months. I feel really depressed that time until I met this girl. She's 7 years older than me. We have a lot of fun together. But sometimes, I have thoughts of if its ok to be with an older woman. I'm 24 and she's 31. I wonder if we would not have problems about it in the future. Please share your thoughts.

I've always looked at age as just a number. If y'all get along well, and enjoy each other's company, then it's not a problem. I have dated guys younger then myself, and we had a great time. I have also been with and married men older than myself, one of my ex husbands was 14 years older than me. And no, our divorce had nothing to do with the difference in age. It all depends on the two people and how they look at it, if it's not a problem between them, then it should be okay. As for what other people think, don't worry about them.

This is what they call May-December affair, but not quite just that. There are a lot of those in the world, one famous May-December affair you would have noted is that of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. But, it certainly takes two to tango. You'll know when you'll know. So, just let things be the way they are, enjoy the moment and try to assess if this is forever or just a phase in your life. The way things have started, you were only depressed that's why you got her, but still we wouldn't know. There's no right formula for love.
