Other than that, it's up to you. But you have to be careful. If you are 18, 19 or in early 20s, that's when you should still be careful.

Well it depends, age doesn't really matter in relationships, what matters is the feelings you have for the other person. However, when you are young especially under 18 you should be careful in dating an older man because your lives and habits are totally different which may lead you in getting hurt so always be careful!! If you really like the other person go for it and time will show you if you took the right decision. [ MorningGlory's advice column | Ask MorningGlory A Question ]

First part of answer: If you are under 18 then the quick answer is; no it is not okay to date someone 12 years older than you. In fact if you are under the age of consent in your state it is also illegal for him to date you. He can be charged with Statutory Rape which has nothing to do with whether or not you have sex with him. It is the mere fact that you are dating and sex could have occurred. Another charge would be contributing to the delinquency of a minor and given the difference in ages between you two charges related to pedophilia and being a pedophile. Then there is the added federal charge of violating the Mann Act if you two ever crossed the state line.
For someone 12 years older then someone 18 or younger sends up huge red flags to all adults and law enforcement. These people are in most every case a child pedophile. If you are 18 or younger check the National sex registry for this person both by the name he is using and the address he lives at. If he is registered notify local law enforcement of your contact with him.
Second part of answer: If you are over 18 then the answer becomes somewhat simpler. At 18 you are consider an adult free to date anyone you please. Age can at that point simply become a number. There are still some red flags to consider. Such as why someone age 30 or old or older would be interested in a young teenage girl. Pedophilia is still a possibility.
There are in this scenario no legal repercussions for him in dating you, I'm of course assuming you are a girl. You though could still be in danger and should use all methods available to you to check him out as your safety could be at risk.
Last and final part of answer: Once you reach legal age, which is 18. You and you alone are responsible for your actions. Mom and dad may not like what you do though there is little they can do to stop you. You're past the age of any parental discipline they could once inflict upon you as corrective action. Though as good parents I'm sure they will be there to help you if you fall.
Since I do not know your age I can not give you a truly decisive answer except in part one of the three parts I wrote. Though somewhere in those three parts based on your age I believe you will find your answer.
If you are over 18 or under 21 I do advise caution in dating older men. They have their reasons for dating younger women which are not always honorable and you can be hurt emotionally as well as possibly physically. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
