Is she too old for me?

I was at a course and met a girl and we both got on really well and kissed and all that.

she lives in another country but is going to come and see me in october and i will visit her at christmas..so the relationship is very much alive and going well.

she is 20 and thinks i am 18...however i am not 18 until january...what should i do?

how would she take it if i told her?

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I am not immature or childish at all, just do you think this one year younger would make a big difference to her.

I never told her myself that i was 18 but i know she overheard me telling other people and i never did anything to tell her otherwise....

P.S......she told me she was 20 and asked when my birthday was..and i told her the month and day..but she never asked for my age....she is coming in october and i know she will want to go to bars and clubs but i might not get in with her as i will not be 18 for another 5 months or so....will i have to tell her eventually anyway?

Thanks for your help

    My advice would be to tell her. She needs to know. If she's really into you, then it won't matter. But you guys need to be careful cuz in some countries, dating an under-18 is illegal for an older person - even if she is only a couple of years older than you. Whatever it is, you need to tell her because you don't want your relationship to be based on a lie. She'll find out when she comes anyway so you might as well get it over and done with now.

    Since your birthday is in January, she probably mentally calculated you're only about 1 year younger if your birthday is in January - not bad at all. The fact she's a year off of what she thought and you're still technically a minor could be alarming to her.

    If you expect the relationship to actually go anywhere, be honest and tell her. Otherwise, you're just setting it up for failure.

    well here is the big thing in most states if someone over the age of 18 has sex with someone under 18 they look at that as rape and that's not good so i will tell her no matter what and i would do it b4 she comes down in oct and just tell her what you told us you did not think it was a big deal because its just a few months and see what she has to say good luck

    No you're fine, though her maturity level is higher than yours. I wouldn't tell her you're not 18 it will scare her off, I always used to lie about my age when I was under 18.
