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?
