relationship advice

so i like this guy, and he’s 17. his birthdays in november so he won’t be 18 for a while. i’m only 14 but i turn 15 in june so it’s a 2-3 year difference. we go to the same school and he’s a junior and i’m a freshman, but we’re both on the soccer team and we see each other a lot. we text all the time too, and we flirt a lot. we’ve talked about our ages before and he said he didn’t think it would be weird if we dated because i’m young. but i still don’t know if i should just back off or if it’s “okay”?? advice, honest opinions please!! ❤️
