NO,if the 20 year old really loves you,he would wait until you're 18 and mature enough. A 10 year old shouldn't date in general.

Some may argue: "I won't commit fornication, I'm a Christian." We know that sex before marriage is wrong, but when you're all alone with a person to who you are attracted too, the sexual drive can lead you to wrong doing. Even the famous King David- a very faithful man of God- allowed himself to give in to the pressure (1 Sam. 13:14; 2 Sam. 11:1-4). When people are in their teens, people go through a phase called "the bloom of youth". That is a period of time when sexual feelings and romantic emotions first become strong. By waiting until you're past the bloom of youth (on average: 18-25), you can ward off the pitfall.

Another thing to consider is the purpose of dating. Dating is an honorable purpose of determining whether or not a couple should get married. Granted, some of your friends may take a casual view of dating. Some may date just to have fun and boost their self-esteem. However, dating with no attention of getting married is like acting like a child who plays with a new toy and then discards it. Clearly, when you're dating someone, you are affecting the other person's feelings. So make sure your intentions are good.

Waiting to date will give you more freedom to rejoice in your youth. In contrast, if you focus on the person you like to long, you set yourself for heartache. Use this period of time to learn how to cultivate and maintain friendships. Later, if you choose to date, you will have a better idea of who will be your partner.
