What happened to the "Bella Thorne is beautiful" declaration that you Tweeted several weeks ago? You seem to have deleted it, although and perhaps because that Tweet seems to prove that you initiated your interaction with her and not the other way around.
She is 19, and she's only been 19 for a couple of months. She is of legal age, but she's a teenager. You have 6 years of adulthood that she doesn't have. You can demand that all of her feelings immediately revolve around you in an ego-driven way, or you can give her time to deal with her feelings while you discuss what it means to both of you to be mutually respectful in public and in private, or you can decide not to date a teenager without acting like everything is her fault.
What were you like at 19? Do you feel that you have matured since then?
