So I’ve been seeing this guy casually for about 2 months now and things are starting to get serious between us. I must mention that we did go to high school together for a year and became friends during a summer camp and occasionally kept in touch since. Now he’s my classmate at university (I’m doing my second degree and he’s doing his first.) So far our relationship has been very harmonious and I feel like we complement each other nicely however I’m worried about how our relationship will be perceived on an international level as reputation matters quite a lot in our field.
Is this age gap okay? (24F) and (19M)

5 years is not a big deal. Best of luck.
The rule (for men) is age divide by 2 add 7=19 so you MAY be ok,
but this sounds like a very ‘youthful’ romance, has it yet to be tested with living together? Illness, paying bills etc?
How will anyone in business know of your age difference and it is really none of their business, telling your work field might help
Honestly, a 5-year gap at your ages isn’t weird you’re both adults. What matters most is that you’re equals, you both want this, and it feels healthy. If you’re happy and respectful with each other, don’t overthink what others might say.
