Not a great idea for two reasons:
1. What is he looking for that he has to be with someone that much younger than him to get it?
2. Your age puts you in a different "stage" category which will keep you *below* him in a lot of ways. And by stage I mean: you're not driving yet, you're new to highschool life, etc. There are a few upcoming age marking points that you can only reach with time but that have nothing to do with maturity levels, and to be with someone who's past those points already guarantees you'll feel behind and like a kid when hanging out with him, especially if you're with him and his friends.
That's where a lot of girls end up making painful mistakes: to feel older or to seem like they fit in more, they often do things they're not ready for yet and then don't quite know what to do with the consequences. It's not because they're dumb, it's because they just need more time to learn how the guy-game is played and that's something you learn with time.
You can be more of an adult than your teachers and still not be ready to date someone a few years older than you for the really simple reason that you just haven't been around as long to see as much of life as they have.
You should be able to wait a week or two to give him an answer (and if he won't wait that long then you know he's a "no" because why all the rush if he really likes and wants to be with you?) and by then you'll either know if it's a good idea or not, or one of the two of you will have decided to move on to someone else. And if either of you is that willing to move on so soon, then it probably wasn't "meant to be" anyway, you know?
Better to learn how to play the game from good experiences that went well than it is to learn it from bad experiences that ended up causing pain or frustration or both, right?
