Although the age difference, many married couples have the same age difference Or even more, it can be anywhere from 1-5 age difference. So we don’t have to worry about that. If your comfortable sitting on the bed with him, it could also mean that you could develop soemthing towards him ;). If he shy, he fine.

So if you like him I think it would be a perfect relationship.
