(...) Essentially, Jess is right... it's okay to meet the love of your life at a young age, but most people (on either side) aren't emotionally able to grow WITH someone else at that point. Most people can barely grow on their OWN, let alone alongside someone else's differently-timed growing fits and starts.

Sadly, though she is a lovely girl and you may love her very much, It's the wrong time, and what you have is probably not enough.
Hard as it may be, I think you should try and ease things off, and gradually let her know what you feel. Then it's up to both of you what you do...split, or try and stay together but with a different mindset. From reading your post I think you want to get out...I hope things work out for the best.
