<human>: I'm concerned that getting involved with a man 13 years my senior is not a good idea. My main worry is mainly why he would want to be with someone so much younger than him. We have been seeing each other as friends (or no romantic contact) for a couple of months, he has never made a move but has made it clear he has feelings for me.

 A couple of days ago we kissed, and it did feel like the right thing. I don't feel there has been any pressure on me at all and we are generally quite comfortable with each other; eg sitting together and holding hands/arms round each other. We have a similar sense of humour, share similar beliefs and like to do the same things. 

I wondered if anybody out there has had a similar experience, or known somebody who has, and how did others react?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: 23F/36M - could it ever work, is the age gap too much? Does anyone else have similar experience?
