Ages can feel awkward, but only for other people- and you shouldn't care about the other people.
Case in point- though it was only a 3-year difference, it was a long-distance relationship with me at 18 and her at 15. That may sound odd, but when we finally met, it was 19/16... and 21/18 when we moved in together... it's amazing what a few years will do at the right time.
If that's what you want, then chase it down. Missed or lost opportunities are bad stories to have to tell. Heed my advice, which has been carved with pain...
When you have love, hold onto it as though your life depends on it... you may find that, if you lose it, your life goes with it.
