  17 and 19 is a two-year gap, that’s totally fine.

  Might want to check the laws in your local jurisdiction. In the US, in some States this may be OK under Romeo and Juliet Laws (check your local laws if the whole “kill yourself from a misunderstanding” bit of the story is required). But, some States do not have such laws. No idea if/how this applies in other countries.

      Sex is basically inevitable.

        No? Simply wait with that part for one year. That should not be too hard

    Most of Europe has consent age in the range 14-16. I think Cyprus is the outlier with 17. Most don’t have the equivalent of “Romeo and Juliet laws”.

  The 2 year gap isn’t the issue it’s the power dynamic.

  she’s still 19, but i think they don’t like that she’s almost 20 (maybe the other girl is almost 18 tho)
