If I was still a young and naive teenage girl I might have liked this, but as a woman in her twenties, this just raises red flags. It's normal for high-schoolers to have crushes on older people, or for a fan to crush on her idol, but it's not normal for an adult to indulge in that. I would not date a minor, because in my eyes, they are children, some more mature than others, but minors nonetheless. I also have a problem with the fact that he asks her to marry him to prove his good intentions : she's a 17 old girl with no experience in dating and she's daydreaming a fantasy, she needs time before agreeing to a marriage, and I don't like the trope of " she marries the older guy right after high school, when she's still too young to properly evaluate everything's that's going on" Why couldn't the author make her a university student at least? We need to stop normalizing older guys dating minors, because in real life, 99% of the guys who do that are creeps.
