Too old or??

OKAY so I really need y’all help, I’m currently 16, will be 17 in September and I met this guy through twitter (mutual) and he’s 18.. I really like him and we have almost the same interests it’s crazy, the thing is he’s you know.. 18 lol. I would say I am pretty mature for my age & I know I would never ruin his life over anything, he’s a very cool guy and would love to have something actually real with him. Any thoughts? ):

**update** we were FaceTiming and this topic came up and he said if this does go anywhere he will respect me and my age and said we wouldn’t do anything until I’m 18 for the better for both of us and I mean I am fine with that but I don’t know, you know men🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂 & I live in California and the law states it could be a relationship but nothing sexual
