I don't think there is anything wrong with it either. Currently, i think i have a crush on someone 13 years older than me.

I can't understand why it would be a problem even if someone's partner is 5 years older or younger than them because this video I saw about age gaps explained that as the age gap widens from 5 years onwards the more likely there might be a split up or divorce. Someone did explain that it might be difficult for an 18 year old to date a 23 or 24 year old. I know of someone who was 20 or 21 and was going out with a 27 year old for a while but are no longer together.

I wouldn't worry about it, all that actually matters if the people you're attracted to are fellow adults. If other people disapprove, that's a them issue, not a you and your hypothetical partner issue.

Yep, and it's not like old women aren't attracted to younger men. In recent years the public has been a lot more honest about the fact that it's hardly just older men that like younger women.
