But there is another problem. His mom married my dad's cousin. I know it doesn't really make us related but it seems weird. What do u think? Is he too old and is that just creepy?

 Too old for what? If you're thinking of a dating relationship, it's probably fine. If you're getting serious, give it a year or two. Really get to know this guy (and yourself) to be sure that the difference in age won't be a barrier to your happiness. [I've got the same problem right now ... my current gf is 14 years younger than I am.]
And about the "relatives" thing. If you start to date, see if his mom or any of your other relatives make a fuss about it. My bet is that they won't. If they do, it's a matter of how much pressure they bring and how much pressure you two can handle. In a perfect world,(and hopefully in this real world) they won't.
Oh, and as to him looking like he's 25, that's nice (you'll be a "cute couple") but totally irrelevant to the fact that you need time to get to know that your age difference will not be a problem for either of you. Remember, if his mom had married into the family earlier, he could well have been stuck changing your diapers!
