I'm seeing this person -- she's 21, and I'm 18. Is that 3 year age difference a big deal?

Finally a question in this section that I can say no there is not a big deal. Between 18-21 most people are on or around the same levels of maturity and will continue to grow psychologically at similar rates. Usually an age difference of around 2,3,or 4 years is not a problem. If you were 18 and she was 25 then I would say that it would probably be a bit of a problem, because she would most likely be a whole lot closer to settling down, and you'd probably still be more in the exploratory part of you life, like you are. Don't worry unless she starts to express interest in settling down, marriage and kids and stuff before you take any interest in those things. But if that happens, make sure that you express to her that you don't feel the way she does. You wouldn't want to hurt her feelings, but it would be wrong of you to disguise how you feel just to make her happy, and visa versa. Like all relationships, being open and sharing your feelings is key. As long as your feelings and interests match, just enjoy the realtionship. If interests start to change, then don't hesitate to go your seperate ways and take it as a learning experience.
