I think your key words in the OP are "new relationship." I've dated older women, and I've dated younger women. I think compatibility has less to do with age than with viewpoints and maturity. Sure, experiences will differ. He'll have had some you haven't and want to, and you should talk that over. Maybe even vice versa.
I think you shouldn't be concerned about the age issue. I think you should enjoy yourself, but I would not entertain thoughts of marriage for at least a year, and I'd recommend a year engagement (assuming you're thinking long term). This will give you PLENTY of time to see how you are together when no one is on their best behavior.
You can tell a lot about a man (I am one, so I'm qualified to comment) by how he treats people that can't do anything for him. Is he nice to the waiter? The convenience store clerk? The gas station attendant? If the answer is yes, then he'll be nice to you, forever, even though he might be mad sometimes.
