I've been going to my local video shop for years now, and this incredibly attractive guy just started working there. I didn't think much of him until a few friends pointed out (on different occasions) that he was checking me out. Whenever I'm at the counter he flirts with me, but I am the most socially retarded person ever and I can't flirt.
I Googled him the other day and found his MySpace page, and read his bio and his interests and such, and we share so many things in common it's absurd. I also found out his age. He's 20. I am 15. I'm in my second last year of high school. He's a second-year university student.
My question is this: Would it be acceptable if I made a move?
NOTE: I'm from Queensland, Australia & in our education system I will graduate two days after I turn 17. This isn't weird, I haven't been skipped up a grade, I just happen to be born at the end of the school year. (link)

The most standard response you're going to receive is "no". It's actually not uncommon for people to date with such a big age gap, even in high school. My sister started dating her boyfriend when she was 16 & he was 21. She is now 23, and they are happily married. Cassie from Australia's Next Top Model is 16. Her boyfriend is 22, although that is a bit of a stretch.
Under Queensland's Age of Consent Laws, you are legally allowed to have sex with anyone over 16 once you yourself are 16. And as long as your parents are cool with you being in a relationship with him, I say go for it.
