We met like four years ago and have gotten to know each other since then. We talk about our lives, work, struggles, relationships, video games, music, et cetera. Sometimes, though, I feel like this friendship shouldn’t exist because people may find it strange that I am friends with someone 14 years older than me. What do you think?

    I didn’t even realize this was a thing. We can’t be friends with older people now?

    I mean if it’s not sexual and you’re just buddies I’m not where the problem is.

      Perfectly respectable even if it is sexual. Just about fits “half your [his] age +7” but that guideline matters much less once the younger party is over 25 anyway.
