Guys, would you consider dating a younger girl?

I've got a bit of a crush on a guy who's 7, almost 8 years older than me. I'm above the legal age but pretty much just barely. We flirt a lot, and his friends have asked me if I like him. I'm relatively mature for my age and we have pretty good chemistry. If you were in this guy's situation, would you consider me?

Update:

As an added thing, we have like every shared interest. Also, he keeps telling me I'm smart for some reason.

Update 2:

So it seems that the general consensus, minus a few exceptions, is that it's alright. Would anyone like to tell me how I go about making this happen then? Do I just wait for him to do something or what?

    When I was 28, I dated a girl that was 18 for a while, but she was very mature and intelligent too. I generally date girls that are more than 15 years younger than me now, but I'm past 40. I usually date girls in their late 20s.

    If you are over 18 and this guy is perhaps 25 or 26, then that should be no problem if you are mature and not all goofy on dates.

    You could be mature for your age but if you're barely an adult then I suggest you not get involved in someone that age yet. You're still getting to know yourself and maybe you won't like him later in the future after all, it's so easy for us young gals to fall for older guys when we aren't even on the same level as them, just be careful.

    Absolutely, 8 years is not a big difference if you are both of legal age.

    I'm more attracted to personality than age.

    Of course looks don't hurt either!

    yes of course i would and please lose this crazy notion that you MUST date someone your own age ---- its weird ---- its normal to date with an age gap and it does not matter who is older so if you want to go out together see what happens and dont deal with friends thats really childish --- you are both considered to be adults so act like it ---- have fun

    ofcourse. why not ? . age is not a matter for love and dating . if i love a girl, then to me her age doesn't matter. she maybe 8yrs younger or 8yrs older than me. it really doesn't matter.
