26M and 17F ?

Hello,

I'm a 26M and I'm in a bit of a tough spot. I live in a small village in a rather rural area. At the beginning of this year I was at a party with my friends and met a girl there. She kept smiling at me and I really liked her so I decided to make a move. Well, I found out she was from the same village and since she was only 16 (I was 25 at the time) I immediately stepped away.

A few days ago I went to another event and saw her again – I’m 26 now and she’s 17. She kept smiling at me like before so we danced and talked a little. I think we do like each other but I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm well aware of the age gap and I want to emphasize that I'm not the type of man who intentionally seeks out much younger girls but sometimes life presents unexpected situations.

Before leaving the event I asked her out and she responded somewhat neutrally. I also sent her a Instagram request, which she accepted. I want to write her a message to thank her for the nice evening and ask her out again but I feel very unsure about it because of the age gap.

Should I wait until she turns 18 or simply forget her ? Even if I ask her out, I'm not sure if I wanted to date her right now. Probably I would wait until she's 18. I just want to find out if we can click together and whether there is any potential between us..

The age gap will still be there no matter what age you are. The real question is the legality of the situation which depends largely upon local and national laws where you live.
