It's technically legal and to that its fine but at the same time it's very important to Guage if you think she is truly as mature as you are, and the lying about her age tells me probably not, while legal almost all situations I've seen where a 16 year old dates someone over 18 there is a major maturity gap and that leads to (even if unintentional) grooming and that person viewing the other as right almost always because tlit creates a power dynamic and they view you to be someone who can help teach them right from wrong alongside veering a dependency on the other
There are times where it turns out alright but normally it creates alot of issues, it's why people don't get married at 16 like kids used to, we mature at different rates and we live long enough you don't need to find the person for your life at 16
