It’s not illegal, but it’s still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about “the problematic age gap discourse” will make it not true.

26 and 19 seems fine, once you become an adult it’s more about being in the same phase of life. 30+ year olds dating legal age teenagers is where it starts to get creepy though.
18-19 and 26-27 are not in the same phase of life.
But it’s close enough that it can work, for the most part. Some people are late bloomers and all that. It’s not the same as a 50+ year old grandpa picking up women that age.
Older people that date 18 year old highschoolers are really creepy though.
