I think you should do whatever makes you happy. Next time I suggest dating someone your own age though. Good luck to you

Before I paid her tuition she applied for student loans. This is the first time I've dated someone younger and also a student. Her tuition costs just seemed like something I would take care of to make things smoother and less stressful.

I love her dearly. The problem and I guess also what drew us together was our introverted and cool emotional shell that we both have. I suppose now it's come to a point where I'd like to know where this going. I feel I'm wasting time if this is just a phase for her.

My decision to leave I feel gives me clarity. The move is really a way for me to run away and start things fresh. I'm also a huge fan of the beach and a warmer climate.

You don't sound like you are in love with this girl. Move on with your life and find someone closer to your age. It's a lesson to you both: for you, stop wasting your time with little ones you have to pay for and for her; to not rely on a guy to pay for everything.

The age gap isn't the problem, the problem is you forking out so much money on a girl who seemingly doesn't see a future with you. I usually date guys your age and I'm at least a decade younger, but I have never felt comfortable letting a guy pay for so much. Have a talk with her and definitely touch base on where she stands in terms of marriage/kids, if that's something you desire. I don't see age being a problem, but maturity level being one. If she's still in that partying phase, perhaps it's time to move on. I'm currently dating someone 11 years older, all is well (kinda)

Age has nothing to do with it, but the maturity level between both parties (or one).

Plenty of early 20's women want something long term, however, not sure the OP's friend is one of them. She may still be in that having fun/partying phase.

Weird effing thread. Are you impotent or do you perhaps wear women's underwear. Kind of inside baseball, but then perhaps not. If you're both it would explain 3 weird AF threads

Why haven't you discussed these things with her?
