I (26M) hooked up with a girl from Tinder (18F) and feel weird about it, how do I back off respectfully?
So as title says, I met this girl on Tinder and she's 18. She's basically an international student who's just arrived to the country like 3 weeks back and was looking to meet guys, she later tells me that she's trying to lose her vcard. I'd already said yes to meeting her so I met and we took a small edible, made out and basically received oral from her. Still didn't sleep with her though.
I had never met up with anyone with that much of an age gap but I was curious but I came home and immediately regretted it. I know myself now how creepy it is and have learnt my lesson never to hang out with 18 or 19 year olds.
But, she stays alone and told me when we met that she's very depressed moving to a new place, lack of new friends, loneliness, strict parents etc so I'm sure she's just doing this to find some company and dealing with trauma. She just told me on the phone that she was extremely depressed when she first came here. I do care about her wellbeing, and wanted her to have some help.
Even though she wants me to be 'casual', I don't want her to get attached to me but instead find the help she needs and similar age group friends.
I'm to meet her go on a walk soon, I was thinking I'll let her know that I won't be intimate with her again but I'm still down to meet for the walk and stay friends if she wants someone to talk to, but that she should date guys her age. Also will be trying to get her to sign up with a free youth mental health provider. It's either this or I just tell her that I'm not meeting her again and still say that I'd be there to talk to her on the phone?
I just need someone to calm me down, I feel like a creep, I want to do the right thing.
