My take is that the importance of age separation in a relationship, on average, is essentially exponentially decaying. Very important the younger the people are, much less important the older they get. I think a year or two is a pretty big deal around high school, order of 5 or so around late twenties, and it kind of gets up around that 1-20 year thing when you get in your 40's and up. Of course these rules don't apply across the board...but, if I meet a girl who is significantly younger than I am, I'm a little skeptical concerning her maturity level, hoping she proves me wrong. Some types of maturity you just don't acquire without hitting certain stages in life, and it's hard sometimes to get around the differences.
newt - definately not a pervert. sounds like you're just playing it safe. no reason you can't be friendly with her, etc - and who knows what you'll decide to do later on down the road?
