I met a girl on an online game, we talked and played games for a couple weeks, and then she tells me her age. She's 17 and im 23.

Just judging by her humor and personality i immediately assumed she was around my age and i was just really disheartened to find out otherwise. Even if she wasn't underage, i just have zero interest in age gaps.

I cut contact with her upon the age reveal, and she understood why. Im very bummed though, i havent connected with someone like that in a while. How cope?
