No specific answer can be provided as it is dependent upon the culture, relationship dynamics and personal choice of the individuals involved. However, many societies find age differences between two people of 8-10 years or more to be socially acceptable. Generally speaking, most age gaps between two people in a romantic relationship should be approached with understanding and respect for each other's needs and wishes.

The recommended age gap for romantic relationships is generally no greater than 12 years. This takes into consideration the power dynamic that can arise in a relationship when there is a large age gap, as well as societal norms around the minimum age to engaged in certain activities and form legally binding agreements. In general, older partners should be mindful not to take advantage of the younger partner due to their higher status or societal presence. On the other hand, younger partners should also think about potential coercion or lack of true consent due to an inequality of experience or maturity levels.
