Problem is he's 21 and I'm 16 and he wants to meet up (in a public place). I've never had a boyfriend or been on a date with guys my own age and this guys older. I couldn't tell my family if I met up with him, for obvious reasons. I don't know if I should meet him or not. I mean... He's an adult. Should I politely let him down? What should I do?

 I agree with WiseOwlE
JUST because a guy ASKS you for your number, doesn't mean you HAVE to give it out. LEARN to say no. Or even no, I don't give out my number to strangers.
You should tell him you don't want to met up or talk/text, that is was a mistake to give him your number. Ask him to just delete it.
He IS an adult. He knows you are younger and inexperienced which makes you an "easy" target.
If you can't tell your parents about him you certainly shouldn't met up.

When or if he contacts you, straight-out tell him that you don't think giving him your number was a good idea. Then block his number. It wasn't a good idea handing out your number to a total stranger. Even worse, the fact he's much older than you!

 I think your concern answers your own question. As you are new to the dating game start with someone nearer your own age. You need to feel that you are in control of the situation, which you won't be now.
It's fun finding out about the other sex at your age - at any age to be honest - but you are too vulnerable at the moment for him.
