Soul I guess a couple of things that I would consider if I had a daughter in that situation would be the emotional maturity of the guy. Does he work or is he attending uni/tafe? Does he have a plan for the future or is he kicking back on the dole? What are his friends like? He could have his head screwed on right and be interested in your daughter after seeing her grow up into a beautiful young lady, or he could be chasing her because the girls his age aren't interested in him. I'm sure you've thought about that stuff already though.
When I was 16 I went out with an 18yo and for the first couple of months it was alright. I felt great having this older guy buy me grog and drive me about (in his mothers Monaro) It was my first serious sexual relationship and I thought I was in love. After a while he decided he'd rather go out to the pub with his mates and it fizzled out in a weird way. Kind of a blessing really, looking back he really was a loser
Thought I'd also add that my DH is 4 years older then me. We met when I was 23 and he was 27, the age gap is a non issue by that age though.
