i feel like you should reevaluate the relationship, like, check in with yourself and her about how things are working and what they might look like in the future. you go through a LOT of emotional maturation between 18 and 21, so as the relationship progresses, you both might become very different people than how you were when you met, which can complicate things because you already have an established relationship.
Note to self don’t just assume people on dating apps are out of high school, I usually have my age preferences set higher than that but I guess I didn’t and didn’t notice her age. We matched and unluckily went a long time being romantically involved without knowing each others academic history, I already like adjusted and accepted the fact that she was 18 but this just makes it weirder I think😭
Maturity wise I would assume she’s 19, HS Senior caught me off guard completely, it’s not like overall maturity I’m worried about, it’s the emotional maturity and stability that comes from that. I know I wasn’t emotionally mature at 18, hell I’d argue I still have a long way to go at 21, my life also didn’t really start until 18 so I really am far behind and if I were to date in my classes at school, I’d be dating 18-19 year olds, but the difference is that’s college not highschool😭
