Many adults call teens 'kids' when in actualy fact they themselves may be only eight or ten years older. I envision Timothy as being in his late twenties or early thirties in PP, not so large a gap in age.
And notice how struck Nancy was when Timothy's diffidence faded in real emergencies?
Awareness of a significant other doesn't necessarily wait until people are of marrying age. I believe the present UK Queen fell in love with Prince Philip when she was aged about 14 and he was a young naval officer in his early twenties.
