There's this boy that I met recently and he's a lot older than me, but in all the years that I have been alive I have never met a man so sweet and so caring. The fact that I'm younger makes me a little worried because I wouldn't fit his expectations. I fall into the less than average categories. I don't want to keep leading him on what do I do?

Have you asked him what his expectations are? He may not expect you to be this total adult that you're thinking. It all depends on the guy, not his age. And just curious, how far is the age difference?

Age difference and the ages themselves are important. Its one thing for a 30 year old to date a 45 year old and another to be like 18 dating a 35 year old.

true, true... though even then, the societal stigma plays a larg erole in that, and it isn't nessesarilly morally right or wrong.
however, doesn't stop the fact that it comes with complications, not to mention that the expectations of the YOUNGER member of the relationship tend to be the ones that are not met.
how old are you, Original Poster? how old is the Man you are crushing on? what are the details of your relationship to him so far? does he know how you feel? is he displaying obvious interest in you as well? who does or would know of this?

Age difference goes beyond morality. More than anything, it's about maturity. Certain age groups come with certain phases and ways of thinking and behaving. The more you drift apart in age the more those things differ and can possibly conflict.

Eating a magic banana. Oh wait. This isn't a word game. As to what you do, be patient. Talk to him and get to know him before you do anything "stupid". The problem with most young people today is that they're all too eager to just jump into the first relationship they can find. To avoid unnecessary drama that could have been avoided with proper planning, get to know the people you like and see whether they respect you or not before you even think of getting any deeper.
