Unless you're ready to get married, forget about being 'interested' in this guy. He is 20, and will then be 21, 22, and wanting to settle down and get on with his life while you're still stuck in high school. You're at different times in your life. Yeah it's only a few years, but 40 and 44 is not as drastic as 16 and 20: that is a big age gap when it involves the teenage and young adult years. These are ages where you're still finding out who you are. (I know I am!) You say you are mature, but believe me, one day you will look back on 16 with a lot more knowledge and think, "Back then, I actually thought I was mature? What was I thinking." I'm 19, and I do it!
So, if you're not ready to get serious (considering you would be dating an ADULT, not a teenager,) don't bother. Honestly, that rule should go for any relationship.
