<human>: Hi /r/dating_advice, I come here seeking advice! 

I am a 26 year old male, and I recently picked up a weekend job at a mall coffee shop. 

The last month or so, a very cute [f]ellow mall employee has been stopping in regularly, making small-talk, and it was obvious to everyone that we shared a mutual attraction for each other. 

I finally asked her to a drink yesterday and we exchanged numbers. This morning I received a friendly text from her and we messaged back and fourth all day long. Over those series of texts, I find out she is much younger than I had assumed (19), which isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me, but usually I prefer to date closer to my own age. 

I also got a pretty good feel for her personality, and though I believe her to be a good-natured and genuine person,  the sheer volume of texts and amount of affection I have received in them is a little off-putting. I worry that this is a red flag and that she is needy, but I could be over thinking it.   

Either way, I believe a 19 year old and a 26 year old have different priorities and after 1 day of texting I decided I no longer want to pursue this. She is a genuinely good person otherwise, so I want to handle this as delicately as possible as I will most likely continue running into her at work. How do I go about this as smoothly as possible?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
