AGE DIFFERENCE?

hello, i am an 18 year old female who recently got confessed to by a 15 year old male. I care about him a lot, he is very cute and makes me laugh like no other, but obviously what scares me is the Age, an 18 year old can’t date a 15 year old right? i’ve told him i’d think about it simply because i didn’t know what to say, i’d love to wait for him until he’s older, but i am not sure if that’s what he wants or if he’ll still like me after these years. I simply don’t know what to do and i don’t want to lose him. He repeated me many times that he doesn’t care about age at all. i think he is too young to say that, but he sounded determined. I am here to ask.. What would you do in my situation?
