Hello I need advice on how to move on with this girl I met her at the place I work at it was typically just casual talking which leads to us having similar interests and such I eventually ended having feelings for her to which she admitted she felt the same.We ended up dating after 2 dates I really enjoy being with this person but what bothers me is her age a lot of my coworkers have told me that they are happy that we started dating and hope it works out well. I know the age gap is 5 years apart but I have never dated anyone other than when I was in middle school after that I was secluded in my home throughout highschool until I got a job so all I ever did was work and be in my own world I never talked with people around my age during my highschool years Until I started working and even then is just work related topics until I met her I was always to myself but she ended up getting to know me I really enjoy being with her because she's caring,funny,and how bright she is but I also don't want to negatively influence her in any way.. she's is still in school which also bothers me.

Should I keep going with this relationship even with all these "risk"?

Or Should I have a talk with her about this situation? I did brought it up to her because it is a very big and heavy discussion to have with her she agreed as well she feels is something that's also been on her mind I haven't fully talked about it when I mentioned it just kinda brought it up to her attention atm but I couldn't find the words so we decided to give us some times to think about it and choose a safe place to discuss in case we end up getting emotional.

Or should I just swallow the pain and sever the relationship with her entirely and keep it private?

I really don't know what to do I like her but these cons make me feel that Is not possible..but at the same time my other half wants to defy all odds I want to work it out but I'm not sure is it really something we both are willing to work through and fight against if that's the way to put it.
