Is 16 and 20 too big an age gap?

Basically had this girl add me on Facebook who at first seemed quite pretty only to see she’s 16 so then it got me thinking “this would be wrong to try and pursue surely?” 16 is the age of consent in uk for any Americans seeing this but surely still a bit weird. Just looking for your opinions!

It's legal. So nothing wrong with it. Just probably frowned upon. But it really depends on you; how much you care about others. How much she cares about you.. etc etc.. This is what it boils down to. I always feel if a relationship works it works. As long as it checks all the legal boxes anything can feel and be right and fall perfectly into place. If you were at the same stages in life that is no guarantee the relationship would blossom anymore.

Illegal. Ditch it now. She is jailbait. It is not worth it. Have ADULT friends. It is way safer. Trust me. Be friends with people 18 or older only. No minors.

Technically no it's not weird but 16 and 20 are two very different stages of life. One is in the GCSE period and one is at university age. So in that view it doesn't seem right.

These impact of an age gap changes as the parties involved get older. A four year age gap is nothing if you’re both over 30, but yeah, a 20-year-old should definitely not be involved with a 16-year-old. The power imbalance is way too much.
