he is already a college graduate student and im a graduating student (grade 12).. and btw, i have this problems when it comes to my grades...
In most states you are below the age of consent. Meaning you can not legally consent to do anything with this boy without getting him in real trouble with the law. Just being with him places him in the position of charges of statutory rape. Sex does not have to happen just the fact that you two are together and he is that much older than you makes it possible for the police to charge him. He can also be charged with leading to the delinquency of a minor as well as several other charges. These are real charges that will follow him for the rest of his life. If you love him you will let him go before you ruin his life.
My advise: As you said this is a crush. Young women have them all the time. Find a boy closer to your own age and enjoy being a teenager and doing things teenagers do. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

In the U.S., you could date him but probably wouldn't be able to have sex with him without risking having him imprisoned for child rape.
I'm actually not sure what a 21 year old would want with a 16 year old anyway unless the guy is just so emotionally immature that he can't relate to women his own age. [ VoiceofReason's advice column | Ask VoiceofReason A Question ]
