Ask Anna: How much does age difference matter? Plus, how to deal with wedding strife

Dear Anna,

I'm 20, out but not loud, and have never been in a relationship (although I'd like to). I recently met a 28-year-old woman on a social/dating app, and we've been out a couple times. We get along fairly well with minimal awkwardness, and she seems to be treating these as dates. However, I can't get past the age difference. I'm not head-over-heels for her, but if it weren’t for the age gap I’d keep meeting up and hope it turns into something. But right now it feels weird and I’m finding excuses to put off meeting again.

Am I worrying about something I shouldn’t be worrying about? Or should I tell her I'm uncomfortable with where this is going, and hope we can remain friends? — Anxious Baby Dyke
