See that’s the problem with age differences.
If I tell you they are 23 years apart, you think “uhh”.
If I tell you they are 17 and 40, you think “UHHHHH”
Lets see if it applies to me:
Me and her are 11 years apart.
Me and her are 23 and 34.
Hmm.

Well, yeah, of course that’s less bad. You’re both older and the difference is less Ultimately a lot of it comes down to levels of maturity and the places ones are in their lives anyway. A 17 year old definitively can never be mature enough to have a healthy relationship with a 40 year old

Half the bigger age plus 7 for the younger. 40/2 + 7 = 27. 17 is ew 34/2 + 7 = 24. You’re just okay, but should feel bad in bed

“She and I” The easy way to figure it out is to remove the other person from the sentence. Is it: “Her are (is) 11 years apart” or “She are (is) 11 years apart?”
