Like Downtown Amber, i have friends of all ages. I can get along with someone who is very young and then i can get along great with someone older. I am 23 years of age, and dont think that age is a problem in a relationship or friendship.
I tend to mold to whomever i am speaking with, if its someone who is young and immature then i can also tend to act the same way. If its someone older and wiser then i mold to fit then. Its not that im not myself its just im very open honest and understanding.
when it comes to the issue of sex and age. There is no problem, personally in my eyes. But i have not been sexual with someone who is more then 3 years older then me. I do not think of someone older as 'wow i want to fuck them' or 'i could really submit to them'. I just cant, younger i can see submitting and be sexually with.
To make this short. I see no problem when it comes to an age thing (as long as its legal), but to me personally i could never be with someone who is considerably older then me, considerably as in 40^. I would view them to much as a mentor or expert who i am not worth to be with, just yet.
