I'm 24 and have been dating multiple women -- no oneitis or unicorn hunting. One of my main hobbies is creative writing. I have self-published a few books and earn a passive income from them. I'm also looped into my local spoken word/slam poetry scene.

Theres an 18yo girl who I've known since she was a kid. I know her entire family, in fact. She is also a poet, so we've crossed paths a few times because of our art. Me and her dad have interacted occasionally as well (at bars and such). I'm not super close to them, but I've known them for years.

I saw the girl this past weekend at a festival. We chit chatted, same as usual. I could tell she definitely admires me. Later, she added me on social media and messaged me...she wants to meet up individually so she can purchase one of my books.

Obviously she wants more than my book. Otherwise she would already have a copy. I'm just...unsure if I want to escalate. I've known her since she was a child, and she is younger than me, so it feels weird. I also dont want to damage our slight artistic bond.

So I'm asking TRP...thoughts?
