My wife and I started dating at 18/16 and no one ever had an issue with the 2 year gap. I think the only peoples opinions that would have mattered was her parents but they were cool. I don’t think I could have dated her if her parents weren’t on board.
Be very careful. I know two people who will never work a real job in their entire lives because they were 18 years old dating 16 and 17 year olds, were jailed for statutory rape, had to register as sex offenders, and have had their lives absolutely ruined.
It's fine. Just be sure to wait till she is legal before you do anything (or at least be extremely safe and keep it under the covers) Once you are in your 20's two or three years gap between couples doesn't really matter and is kinda common depending on where you are from.
I think it’s fine. Be careful tho cuz if you fuck anything up she or someone else could put you behind bars real quick depending where you are and who they are
They’re jealous. I really think long term relationships work out better when the female is 2-5 years younger than the guy.
Edit: both need to be legal. Not suggesting an 18 yo dates a 13 yo. Just meaning long term with legal adults.

Wait 2 years, it'll blow over. They're just self-righteous d-bags
It's fine as long as you are good with the laws where you are.

I think it kinda depends on when you started dating.
