The problem is she's twenty and I'm thirty-nine

I'm interested in a woman I met at a college function and I am interested in asking her out. The "problem" is she's twenty and I'm thirty-nine and I'm afraid it might cause talk. Should I try anyway?

Don't worry, baby - it will cause talk. All of a sudden everyone on campus will become Math majors. "Hmm-hmm she's 20 and he's 39, when she was 10 he was almost 30; the pervert."
What they almost never do is the math the other way, when she's 40 and you're 59, hardly anyone will care because you'll both be older. It's only when one of you is looked upon as a child who doesn't know enough and the other is looked upon as older and who should know better, that a problem is created.
Hey, you want to know if you should ask her out? Why not? Yes, you may be old enough to be her father (if you had a 'youthful indiscretion' at 18 or 19), but she's old enough to be your girlfriend.
