Something about a 16 y/o girl in a romantic relationship with a guy that is supposed to be middle aged doesn't really feel right. I ship Kaito and Meiko (since they are both supposedly middle aged. I know Kaito is supposed to be, but idrk about Meiko) and I ship Miku and Gumi (I don't really know why, but I think they look cute together and their voices soud nice together, too.)miku x gumi is a nice ship, have you heard "Smile Again"?

honestly i think Gumi goes good with a lot of vocaloids!

Kaito isn't supposed to be middle aged! This is a common mistake in the fandom (like thinking Teto is a Vocaloid, or the Kagamines are canonically twins). For more information, see Kaito's wikia page under 'concept'. He has no official age, and is rarely portrayed as older than 25.

I've seen so many people make the 'Kaito is intended to be middle aged' mistake, I might add it to his page under 'common misconceptions'. Thoughts? Here is what I read about this topic:

"While KAITO has no "official" age, in Meka Hikoshiki Hatsune Mikkusu series, artist KEI Garou (the official artist of the Crypton VOCALOID character series) protrays KAITO as a middle aged man. Though, KEI has stated in interviews that this is unofficial."

As I DO see where you are coming through, and as how he has no official age, I like going with what a professional protrays him as. Therefor, I was stating my OPINION of his age.
