Urban folklore suggests that the younger person should be at least half the age plus seven years. This rule is usually applied to middle aged men (eg, a 48 yo should not date a 30 yo). In this case a 19 yo should only date folks at least 16. There is often some wisdom in folklore.

It is very flattering to get nice attention from an older guy. You must be a charming person. You can probably imagine nice things coming from dating this person.

But, there is a lot of risk in it that you probably aren't considering. In fact, as you gain dating experience, you will be able to see the pluses and minuses much more clearly. It's best if you can get more dating experience with people your own age.

Some guidelines and rules of society are too strict and evolve over time. But, many rules of society serve us well, having stood the test of time.
