We may often see significant age-gaps in some romantic movies, but the truth is that the ideal age difference in a relationship is not as big. According to a study conducted by WhatsYourPrice.com, a website that allows people to buy and sell first dates, the ideal age-gap is 6 years, where the man is the older one.

Is it illegal to date someone 6 years older than you?

If someone older than the age of consent has sex with someone younger than the age of consent, its legally considered rape. If its illegal, you may feel like you need to keep your relationship with this person a secret.
