It depends on the maturity of the two people. My opinion only, but I feel 15 years or more is too much of an age gap and here are the reasons:
If you are young, full of energy with a vibrant personality, then you will want to remain hanging out with your friends who are close to your own age, while your older partner will not find this too intriquing for too long and prefer a quieter lifestyle. Can you live with that?
If the person is 45 or older their lives could be slowed down to a slower pace of life.
If the person is 50 and older they could have health problems and if so are you willing to see them through all this?
Be honest with yourself. Be sure you are not replacing a space in your life for a mother/father figure.
I am 63 and very energetic, with good health (thank God) and have friends of all ages. I enjoy life to the fullest but do love the solice of my home at times, gardening, having some head space on my own and I'm very independent. I am happily married, but say I was single and a 40 year old man came into my life. He could want the same things I do, so a relationship could blossom. On the other hand if I were to see this person hang around bars with their friends every weekend (nothing wrong with this at all) or be on the go 100% of the time and couldn't relax once in awhile I wouldn't have a relationship with this them. I would always feel I "had to keep up."
Sit down one night and write out all the pros and cons of this relationship. Tuck the paper away for a week, then pull it out and have a look. You will have your answer. It is always a good thing to communicate with your mate as well. If you decide to leave this relationship they have a right to know why.
Personally, I don't feel a person that is under the age of 25 is able to decide what is really good for themselves. There is a full life out there for them to lead. Their heart may be in the right place, but their spirit is eager and ready to taste so much of life.
I agree with the comments made about this question. Personally I just came out of a relationship in which the guy was 14 years older than me, I am in my 20's. We dated for one year, and overall we had a great relationship, however in the end it came down to the need for more adventure in my life. I realized at my age I still had a lot to experience and I wasn't ready to settle down with someone who was that much older. As time went on in our relationship our differences came out a lot more, the differences usually related greatly to our age gap. In the end I am the one that broke it off....and I am now a lot happier in my life. I am not dating someone who is one year younger than I am and it is a whole different relationship, but a great one! It is personally feelings though, do not let others judegment make up your mind. If the age gap is not a problem and it feels comfortable, go for it. It could be the greatest thing that ever happened to you!!

Is 7 years too much of an age gap because I am 16 and hes 23 but young looking?
In my opinion i don't think it's too much of an age gap, after all, its not about the age, its about who they are. I know people who are crazy with age gaps, my friend is 17 and her boyfriend is 28. Also, if he's young looking then there shouldn't be any problems. :)

Would Taylor Lautner date someone who is 14?
When he was 14, I am sure he would have. However, he is at an age now that it would actually be illegal for him to do so. He is in his 20s, and the age gap would be too much.

Depends on you're current age. If one is 7 and the other is 14, YES!!! It depends a lot on the age and maturity level of the two, in the teens and twenties it is much more of an issue, while an older couple would find it much less significant.
Is 31 years too big of an age gap for a relationship?
Depends on the age. 91 & 60 sounds about right. 20 & 51 is way wrong.
