Occasionally I'll tech support a computer for free. Usually only family, friends and neighbors in the apt building. (Though I do accept pizza and a bit of access time if they have high speed.)
The neighbor down the hallway, (who needs to bathe big time(I needed a gas mask.)) had her modem driver go bad. Don't really know what happened, but a re-install of the driver and a new anti-virus program fixed it. Though I also did a nuke-from-orbit re-install of XP.
The bad part is, the couple's 45 year old friend, decided to hit on 27 year old me. I will no longer help them again without pay.
Moral of the story, don't hit on the tech. It won't work if she doesn't outright slap you.
(Good thing I edited before I posted. All my sentences ended with a semi-colon.)

It really all depends on the person. If a person is a creep, then the age gap can be a factor. Otherwise, I have no room to gripe, my stepdad is roughly 42 and my mom is 52. I love my stepdad like I should my real dad. (Down to the point of calling stepdad "Dad" right in front of the bio one.
