I like someone younger than me

This is the first time I have posted, so please bare with me.

I am 27 years old (bisexual). I got to know someone accidentally in a bar. That night I never expected for anything serious, except the other way around.

I just danced and enjoyed the party until I got a bump on this beautiful girl. We had short talks and got a little laughs together. After dancing, I got tipsy that I decided to sit down to the point I saw her dancing, smiling and laughing while enjoying the music. I was struck by what I saw and got totally drawn so much to this 21-year old lady.

She got a good smile, beautiful monolid eyes and viral laugh. She was very confident too on the way she danced. Just that night, I fell in love.

This lady was taken though. So, I set boundaries. I never touched her nor asked her for a kiss - but, I still added her in Facebook just to know her more. We chatted few times. I got to know a little more of her. But I never expect something more. I even prayed to God for guidance as I didn't want to fall for temptation.

Until I found out she broke up with her gf. I was quite sad and happy at same time. I was happy since I would finally have my chance. I honestly wanted to pursue her. She's one of a kind. But, this time, I want to make it slowly but surely. I learned a lot from my previous relationships.

My problem, age is somehow a big deal for me especially on this kind of relationship. At her young age, she might think of exploring and dating a guy, which I think I won't bare the pain if it happens. At my age, I am thinking of settling down too.

Please help. What should I do then? Shall I confess or be just friends? Or just keep my feelings secret?

I really, really like this girl. No lust. Just pure intention and sincerity.
