 Follow your heart thats what i say..
Age is just a number, maturity is the point here. If you are both on the same wave length and feel you have alot in common, then whos to say if someone is too old or too young for you?
I was dating a guy of 41, im 23. At first, yes, its natural to worry, becoz you worry about what other people think, but other people cant feel what you feel so whats in their thinking? Just morals, and one being concerned for your welfare. So hear them out, who ever, and make the choice that you feel is right.
Just remember, you cant live your whole life by what people think is right, or the norm. Stop worrying about the way people percieve things, and do what you want to do! But at the same time, take onboard others opinions.
Best of luck x

My bloke is four years older than me, and it never troubles us. It sometimes makes other people worried, but thats their problem. I agree with pete, dont feel pressurised and take it easy! you'll be fine
Best of luck

 It maybe ok, just make sure his motives for dating you are honest and noble ones! What I mean by that is that 21 yr old men may feel it is easier to 'impress' a younger lady such as yourself, and may also want a sexual relationship that you are not ready for. Don't feel pressured into anything - age gaps shouldn't matter in relationships but just be careful.
