One day, I made a joke with my mother, 'what type of boys do you want to me make?'  Unexpectedly, my mother's answer was so interesting, 'I hope your boyfriend can be about 7 years older than you'. At that time, I was so shocked. From my perspective, I must have a huge gap with a person who is about 7 years older than me. By contrast, my mother thinks men should be mature so as to take good care for their girlfriends.

Recently, my friends told me that she was confused about her love. She met with a man and gradually began to fall in love with him. The man graduated from the post-graduate courses and began to work, while my friend is  in the university campus now. The man is 7 years older than my friend. They have carried on a love affair for 2 years. However, recently my friend found that there are some barriers between them, that is, they have no words to say. She feels that they almost break up, but she still wants to repair their feeling.
