Dating someone younger than you can be a fun, humorous experience, but like all relationships that aren’t deemed ‘typical’ by society, it can also mean tons of annoying and intrusive questions. Romanian-Canadian artist Cassandra Calin knows this all too well, and she’s got a new comic series to which anyone who has a few years on their partner will undoubtedly relate.
It’s often said that age is just a number, so as long as the lower number in your pairing is legal, go forth with courage. “I hear from lots of people looking for love, unsuccessfully, that they’ve got a restrictive list of ‘filters,’ including age,” relationship expert April Masini told Fox News. “When you open your age range filter by including younger people among your possibilities, you’ve got a whole new group of folks to date.” Just look at how many celebrity couples have age gaps – Beyonce and Jay-Z at 12 years, George and Amal Clooney at 17 years, Jennifer Lopez and… Wait, who is she dating now?
The heart of the matter is that other people don’t have to accept your relationship, and that your happiness with the person you choose is more important.

Share on FacebookI really can identify me in those :), the only thing we didn't tried (yet) is the airplane position :D
Being with someone a good deal older than you, older than in these comics, comes with an upsetting extra fact. You worry about how long you will have to be without them when they die first.
Even though you got done voted you have no idea how true that sentence is I am still in love with my X boyfriend and if I could I would have been with him forever and fortunately is twice as old as I am and as incredible as a relationship was it's very difficult to grow old with somebody if they have already gotten old

Age is just a number... until parents/relatives gets in the equation :(
My wife is 15 years younger than I am. We moved to a new town where she had family. I was complaining because I could not find a decent radio station and she told me to try one. Now she hates my music so I asked her how she knew the classic rock station. She said "because that is the one my Dad would listen to when drove down here." OUCH!
Haven't tried the airplane yet lol but everything else is accurate !
WHO is the artist who illustrated this? Please let me know: shadowpress@rocketmail.com
