We've been dating over a year and are very committed to eachother however I feel nervous and I don't understand why. I've never dated somebody this old before. I have also never cared about his age nor he about mine Reply to this Question

 Years don't mean much at your age group. It's the levels of maturity that levels the playing field. it can lead him to become more interested in older girls that drink with him, etc. But fear is useless. Relax and see what happens.

It probably feels more like it as you are a teenager still, not able to drink legally etc and he is classed as an adult. This doesn't last long though.

 your ages are about what my wife and my age are when we met and dated. she was 16 and i was 20. we have been married almost 34 years so don,t let age be in your way.
you either love each other or you don't. you either like each other ,or you "don't want to live without each other." age difference cant overcome that can it!
you are young, as you get a little older it will not seem that big of difference between you two.

 I think it's because he's an adult and you're not yet. He is at a different life stage to you and it's finally sinking in. Talk to him about it. It's possible you've realised it's not a great idea to be dating someone so much older (yet).
