 At the end of the day age is only a number, how a couple feel about one another should far supersede how many numbers are between them. He sounds like a decent genuine guy saying he wants to wait till you 18 before he asks you out officially, not many people would do this. Its only a 3 year gap, this is nothing, it sounds alot not now because you are both young, but in a few years when you are 20 and he is 23 it won't even be noticable.
Hope it all goes well for you both

 He won't get into trouble if he asks you out before you turn 18 - it's only if you have sex before you're 18 that would get him into hot water.
And 3 years is not that much of an age gap. My long term boyfriend and I started dating when I was 16 and he was 19, and we get along just fine. =) An age gap like that is /certainly/ not a problem.
He seems like a proper gentleman if he's willing to wait just to ask you out, I wish you the best of luck. =)

I wouldn't worry too much about this one, if you really like each other then your ages certainly aren't stopping you from being together!
Good luck, keep me posted!
