He has dated girls much older than himself in the past but I am the youngest he has ever dated. How can I get him to feel more comfortable without pushing him? Reply to this Question

I know all about that using a girl for sex thing, cause I have fallen into it before, but this guy is definitly different I think he is more worried about what other people would think either strangers or friends and I just want to let him know that it's okay.

 You can understand him being uncomfortable -- but my personal opinion is that in a way this is good, because it shows he must have some decency & honesty about him; too many men around his age have girlfriends much younger than you (sometimes under 16) -- usually so they can just get into their pants and then leave them, never bat an eyelid and then move on to the next girl.
These types of men are a complete menace to young girls.
Talk to him about it. Take things slowly. Don't rush!
I don't think the age is an issue here -- after all you are both technically 'adults' (well, in the UK you would be classed as an adult anyway...) after all; and him going out with you is perfectly legal.
But like I say, if he is uncomfortable just take it slow.
There ain't no rush.
