(Girls) dating a guy 5 years older than you is?

[TraySean]

It all started when I message a local girl in facebook. I would say that from then on, we sort of "connect". Same birthday, same favourite food, colour, taste in music, were both lefty and there's a lot more to add. She always message me first and use so much emoticons such as smiley face. So after talking to her for 4 days, I asked her to go bowling with me and we did( she won). And we drove around town and grabbed something to eat. There wasn't any awkward situation in fact, we were so comfortable with each other right from the time I picked her up, up to the time I dropped her off to her house. We flirted a lot and again, she kept talking about me loosing bowling. I didn't get to kiss her or even open the car door for her because I was thinking about the kiss. The next morning she messaged me saying " I just wanted to say that I had a great time with you so thanks "..
She even rated it 9/10. Two days after, asked her if she wants to grab sushi(she loves it) and she said that she's busy with school and stuff. She even said "I'm not sure honestly I just have a lot of stuff going on right now I really want to but I just can't and trust me I'm not trying to make excuses because I really did have fun and I want to see you again "..
Here's my problem, she's 17 but she's so mature for a 17 year old and I'm 22. She thinks I'm 20 and I lied because I never thought I'd like a girl like her so I didn't give a crap t first. With so much in common with this girl.... I can't blame myself.. I was just too scared of getting rejected so that's why I lied. She said that she doesn't care I'm 20. All in all I think I like her so much and it's crazy but that's love right..

My questions:
Do you think she will be mad if I tell her the truth?
Is it bad for me to date 5 years younger than me?
Do you guys think she likes me?
Do you think I'll have a chance or not with her?
Do I have a chance with her?
No rude comments please

Okay okay, well she might be mad she might not be, at 17 I dated someone who was 23, and saw no problem with it, but the laws here are 16 is legal so I'm not sure what the laws are over there. I don't think it's that bad if she's of legal consenting age tbh, and I've always liked older guys myself and thought that sort of age gap put it at the right maturity level. She probably does like you but wants to get to know you better it sounds thats shes rather sweet on you and is comfortable with you and enjoys your company which is good. You may have a chance with her, but first you need to be honest about your age, if it doesn't bother her than you have a chance, but you need to be aware that she may feel that her trust is betrayed because you wasn't honest up front.

She's under 18 so she isn't even a proper adult. I think you should wait until she's 18. Lots of people find things in common with people they meet online. It's so easy to lie and to farce around with truths that probably half the things in common aren't even real. You lied because you knew you were too old. She is still at school and you have probably finished university. You're not at the same points in your life. However, I think you should definitely tell her the truth about your age because honesty is important. I would never go out with anyone five years younger than me. I've just turned 21 and 17 just seems like a child to me (despite her supposed maturity).
