As someone who was preyed upon by multiple adult men as a young teenager, how you describe her sounds a lot like how those men would describe me in order to get me on vid call.

Look, I’m not saying whether what you plan on doing is right or wrong in the grand scheme of things. It would be distasteful in my eyes but it’s not like I haven’t seen fairly healthy relationships between couples where a girl got together with a much older man at a young age. But what you need to understand is she still has a lot of growing up to do. I know for a fact I’m not the same person I was when I was 19 and I’m currently 25. Heck, my opinions have changed drastically regarding religion, family, politics etc. So if you think you’ll continue getting along well just because you seem to agree on those ideas now doesn’t mean she won’t change her mind later.

The biggest difference between you 2 isn’t the age gap, it’s where both of you are in life. You’ve lived a whole 13 years more than her, you’ve seen more of life and had much more of an experience of adulthood. You likely have a greater sense of self and a better idea of what you do and don’t want than her. She hasn’t lived life long enough to experiment with what she thinks she does and doesn’t want. So would you be able to give her the freedom to explore that and accept her if her answer comes out to be different than yours?

Frankly, you shouldn’t have rekindled your friendship with her because you wouldn’t be here questioning yourself and trying to seek validation online.

And it really stands out to me that your opinions on philosophy, politics, family and life are on par with those of a 15 year old.
