Why does anyone have to know her age when you introduce her to your friends and family? And vice-versa - why do her friends and family have to know your age? People get too hung up on age. Think about it. In what other situations, other than dating or going to the Dr. - does ANYONE ask you your age? So then why do people feel they have the RIGHT to ask the age of the person you're dating? Don't tell them! It is none of their business!

It is sad that age is such a big problem for family and friends.

The gist that I get is that rribber and his girlfriend are being somewhat intuitive about their families and friends. Maybe they live in a very conservative area where yeah, even the people closest to them would judge. It's easy to say not to let it bother you, but it's not always easy to feel comfortable when you know that friends and relatives will be judging or gossiping about it. Also, if he's not been in the situation of bringing someone home that his family may question, then it's of course something he would freak out about.

rribber, I say this - introduce her and don't bring up age at all. If the age question is asked, sure, answer it then move on in conversation and don't make a big deal about it (because it actually ISN'T a big deal). You may be pleasantly surprised that actually, your fears of "what people may say" or "how they would accept things" are not even an issue (like sexy pleasure said, family and friends are supposed to be loving and supportive). Now, if your suspicions about the dissenters are right though, you're just going to have to brush that off of your shoulders... which may not be the easiest of things to do at first, but at least you're in a good place to find some support in that regard.

if age doesnt matter in your relationship, then it shouldn't matter what people think. im dating someone 18 years older. she has a son same age as me, so when it came round to meeting him, was nervous but turned out ok. it makes it easyer to have a relationship when its not secret. And my rents, havent met her yet, but know about her and want to meet her.
