I agree that if you are dating someone, the word "girls/girl" isn't the right one to use past high school, and certainly not into the 30s.
Maybe show the text communications to someone you trust - is there something similar that could be turning people off?

I think this is a millennial thing. Nobody I know in my age range says “women” informally, be it guys or girls. Girls as a term has moved beyond describing teenagers or children. It now seems to just be a synonym for women.
Strangely the term “guys” doesn’t seem have this negative connotation to denote children or immaturity.
Actually the more I think about it girl is totally normal, no matter your age. I was just with my adult friend and his mother and she asked him who the girl was he was dating, not woman. My friend and his gf are both in their early 30s. His mom is in her early 60s.
