A Catholic is a Christian. I assume you're a Protestant.
You're both adults, so there's no reason why you shouldn't date, if you care for one another. Many people with wider gaps between their ages have done so and been gloriously happy. Enjoy getting to know one another right now, but if you should decide to marry sometime down the line, make sure you sit down and talk about your religious differences before you take the plunge. He may have expectations that you will convert, something you may be unwilling to do. And you'll need to talk about how any children will be reared.
Couples of different faiths work their way through these things every single day, so it can be done. All that is required is that both be honest, open, think and act like adults, and be willing to compromise.

there is nothing wrong with this, if you are indeed interested in the other person. the issue may become the differeing religions. many religions, and i believe the catholic religion is one, forbid or at least frown on mixed religion marriage. many of the religions that frown on the mixed religion marriage require a conversion by the "other" religious member.

It isn't wrong to date someone younger. It doesn't say anything of it in the bible. Pray

No you are not. Just be careful. Dating someone of a different faith could jeopardized your beliefs. Best thing you could do is pray about it.

No. If you know who Jesus is then you know that the Lord does not care about age only if you are truely in love with him.

No about the age, but is he of the same faith?
