Dating someone younger, thoughts? Is it worth it?

Ok so I know this is probably a stupid question and just my own personal hang up since I’m used to dating men who are 7-12 years older than me. However, lately I’ve become really good friends with someone who is three years younger and it’s causing all kinds of different feelings that I’m trying to ignore. He says he doesn’t want to date anyone but his actions say he does just like I say I don’t want anyone but my actions are most likely saying the opposite. Should I just give this a chance?
