Guy said he would wait?

I talked to a guy (as a friend) for a bit. I thought he was interesting and I think he may have liked me. I don’t really date younger guys. I was 24 and he’s 22 or 21. I do enjoy talking to him but I think we are on different levels. I also hate that he calls me bud sometimes and he still says it. I play along with him sometimes. I just think he has a goofy personality and prob knows nothing about love/relationships

I like him but I think I need to give him space to be a man I don't know. I told him that we can be friends but I think he’s a tad young. I did say I would consider once he turned 25 or so.. he said he would wait and even text me some months/ a year later.
