Talking to a girl. I have concerns, probably from myself lol?

I added this girl on SC, out of nowhere tbh. I think we had mutual friends. And we started playing imessage games, and it went from there. We are 2h apart and only been talking for a few days. But I know this vibe. We connect, at least I think so. I feel I can relate a lot in interests, and that helps. She’s absolutely beautiful too. I just found out she’s freshly 18 and I’m 23. We went to the same school and I didn’t know at first. I don't know if she does know or not. So first concern is age. Have to worry about what everyone thinks, including her parents, and even myself. But this really isn’t because of her looks. I’m genuinely attracted to her personality. 2nd concern is we agreed to FaceTime early today for sometime around 10-11 ish. I got off late so she fell asleep, then woke back up and I told her I’ll call her in a short bit. Well that took longer than expected so I let her know. She doesn’t appear mad, but I feel terrible that I set a time and couldn’t make it to a simple phone call. How can I recover from this so I can take her out sometime next week?

Look man... she's a baby and going to be immature. Five years age difference is a lot and she is just discovering guys. Go For It though but remember she will be highly insecure, sensitive, overthinking, and likely overreacting.

Observant Patience is a requirement as you engage her. See if you can tap into her emotional and try to ease her in those areas... bond together. Anyway, have LOTS of fun as one growing entity. Good Luck !!

So this is where age and maturity comes into play. You obviously work and can’t be there at her willing call. If she’s mature, she will understand that you work and sometimes don’t get off when expected. From here on out, I recommend just saying that you will call her when you get out. Don’t set very specific promises that you know you can’t keep because you know for a fact that you don’t get out at exact times at your job.
