Please do not continue this relationship- to avoid sounding like my mother sounded when I was your age, just trust that the person you are at 16 is not the person you'll be at 20 (I'm 24 and I'm still learning this), and there is a significant difference between a 16 and a 20 year old. Some 16 y.o.'s can go to college, and some 20 y.o.'s act like their 12, but ultimately, you'll find more meaningful relationships with people who are in your age group. Do you know how difficult it is to hold a conversation with someone is their teens when you're in your twenties? Not to be disparaging, but applying to grad schools has no correlation to junior prom. The two of you are on different planes, and if it isn't apparant now, it will be soon. And depending on your states laws, it could be illegal. Enjoy your high school years, have fun at games and at lunch and at dances. There will be plenty of time to date 20 year olds- when you're 20.
