This question came up and I'm going to provide a safe answer: it depends.
Not satisfied? Here are some factors to consider...
Age
Fortunately, mathematics offers a theory. Divide your age by two and add seven, the result is the youngest age you should date.
So, for example, if you're 22 years old: 22 / 2 + 7 = 18. This means you can date someone who is at least 18 years old.
But just because you could doesn't necessarily mean you should.
Life stage
Where you are in life makes a difference from a socioeconomic and maturity lens. Consider that the human brain does not fully develop until age 25. So dating a college student while still in high school or a working professional while dating someone in college does make a difference.
Finances
While I am not sure what a preferred age difference is, I can think of extremes where it will not be a good idea.

Finances
Related to life stage, money plays a big role in every relationship. How much do each of you currently make and what are your earning potentials? Talk about these things!
