Well,it is kinda rare for some one his age to not be sex-crazed,but I'm in the same boat as he is and I know that's what I want,emotional and sexual intimacy instead of just sex.

Maybe he's just looking for some experience, maybe material sponsor. I don't want to experience a situation when after a while he has had his fun and will be like "bye, dude, I don't need you anymore". That's why I only date grown men because usually take relationship seriously and don't toy with your feelings.
I have to agree with MrTinkles,that's why age isn't a factor in maturity as a whole,though statistically it does matter. I personally thought that men in his 30s are more prone to settle down than those in 20s though that's not true for all cases,but I could see why he's interested in you instead of men in his age,perhaps because he has that same kind of perception.
If this is his first relationship that he tries to pursue,most probably it's infatuation,but it doesn't mean it can't turn into a great relationship,after all infatuation is one of the early stage of long term relationship.
The way I see it you are too concerned on the age issue reflecting maturity of a person,so if you don't think you could be open to it,then as many above have already said,end things with him as nicely as possible.
