I like a guy who is older than me. I am a 16 year old female. I like a guy who is 21. What do I do? I've been told he likes me too. But thats a big age difference.

While my girlfriend is now several years into college, theres a 5 year age difference. It works fine, but it does take a little extra work.
Ill be honest. Age is not just a number before the mid to late 20s. There will be definite differences in maturity and point of view. It will cause fights. You have to both be prepared to be mature about them if you want anything to blossom.
Beyond that, just remember that at 16 you are definitely not legal so check your state laws before either of you puts him in the situation to be chargeable with statutory rape. ]
Right now its a big age difference. Later it wont be. My aunt and uncle are 12 years apart! See how things go with this guy if he likes you. Dont do anything real serious tho, if he respects boudaries, hes a keeper. If things last untill your 18, knock urself out and have fun! ]
Right now it seems like a big age difference because your 16 and he's 21. But when your 21, he'll be 26, thats really one 5 years apart. My parents are 6 years a part. You shouldnt think of it that way because as you get older thats actually normal to date a guy thats a few years older than you. I would say to go for it, but dont do anything you'll regret with him. Follow your heart. ]
Age doesn't matter if you actually like him. I mean you not going to let a couple numbers stop you are you? Just don't have sex and your alright. =) ]
