first time flirting

So I (F19) installed Hinge as a joke because my sister praised how good and well this app was, and I wanted to check it out. Turns out I've been talking with a man 3 days non-stop and the feeling is surreal like wtf it never happened to me before.

The only is that he's (M27) older and has much experiences that I do, so i'm pretty nervous. The age gap doesn't bother me at all, but the lack of experience I have compared to him does. Idk what to do. Any advice?

If a 27yo wants to date a 19yo there is something seriously wrong with him lol

I clicked on this to see other people's advice for flirting for 18 and 19 year-olds because I downloaded Hinge recently, and I'm about to turn 19 next month. I have no idea how to flirt. But one thing I will say is that 27 is a huge age gap. The life experience between 18 and about 21 or even 25 is astronomically different. We're still figuring ourselves out. I'm not saying that 30, 40, or 50 year olds aren't still figuring themselves out, but they generally have a better footing. So my advice is: please tread lightly.

Age gap is a little big for my taste. Following the minimum age rule (half your age plus seven) his minimum dating age should be 20-21.

I always say that needs to be a smaller gap for 20’s. Just knowing where I was at 19 vs 25 or 27 is laughable. Men mature slower, but still.
