6 years is a big difference, but that's just my opinion. Some girls like to date older men just because they're more mature and experienced than someone who is younger, and I don't see anything wrong with that, but when it comes to being underage I would put my foot down. You're only 16 and he is 22, and judging by your description of your relationship so far it is safe to assume that you've never met him before. Personally, I would say that it's not a good idea to date him. He may be super nice and he may seem to be a perfect fit for you, but unless your family is okay with you dating an older man, unless you meet him personally (with someone with you!), and unless he actually turns out to be a sweet person, I wouldn't get mixed in with a complete stranger who you don't really know.
