I can relate. Nearly all the friends and girlfriends I've ever had were a year or more older than I am, sometimes with a gap of 15 years. I don't really know why that is because, in retrospect, I was emotionally stunted until around my late 20's. Perhaps I had some other redeeming quality that made up for it which only older people could appreciate.

Sadly I’m it doesn’t really work for me. People lose interest nearly immediately when they find out I’m younger and turn to being condescending about instead. It’s also a lot less socially acceptable for a guy to be younger than a woman in a relationship I’ve learned. My parents chastised my stepbrother for dating a girl with a few years on him while my father has over a decade on my stepmother. Platonic relationships are a little easier but you will definitely notice a disconnect eventually.
