Enjoy yourself. Enjoy each other. Most relationships are made or broken by timing, and this is one of the biggest spreads you'll encounter. She may be finding herself, trying to hang onto her youth, or just getting off on your stamina. Or she might be a wonderful person you'll feel lucky to have known the rest of your life. Live. For yourself, and without fear of the junk from others. I had a very similar situation at 20 and it was a great experience for both of us. You already know the odds are against you for a long term anything, so don't expect too much. I'm guessing you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
