So what if you really do love him? So what?
A lot of serial killers have been loved and married too.
Despite what the fairy tales tell us, a good relationship needs to have more than just mutual attraction going for it. If the circumstances aren't right, then you're just setting yourself up for more hurt in the long run. Dump that energy into someone else who is better for you and you'll end up a lot happier.
This guy might or might not be a good partner for you. 18 and 24 isn't a gigantic age gap in the raw numbers. (If you were 28 and he was 34, it would be almost nothing.) But when you're 18, those years still involve A LOT of life and personality and priority changes for most people. You might really love him right now, but will you still be "you" in a few years? Maybe not.
