Sorry, but this is completely irrelevant to the OPs situation.
Both parties are 16 or older (Unless the OP has an inkling that the potential date is lying about being 16 and is actually under age)
Assuming the OP is not a teacher, policeman or guardian with parental control over the potential date, then there is absolutely nothing illegal in meeting and/or having physical contact.
To the OP.
The decision to meet him is yours to make, and really no one else's.
My only advice would be to ask yourself how you would feel if this guy is at your school/college, or knows some of your friends or even siblings? If you walk past him in the street, and you are with your family, how would you react if he came up to say hello?
Are you planning on this being a "date" or fun only, as that changes the dynamic of what advice you will get here.
What I will say is this: The fact that you are even asking for advice on the forum tells me that your not 100% sure if this is something you want to do (for whatever reason) If your not sure right now, and feel like your being pressured to meet, then don't. Chat more, get more comfortable with him then make the decision.
If he's for real, and all is above board, then waiting another week wont matter.
