When I was 29, I had a girlfriend who was 21 or so. I definitely didn't view her age as a negative. In truth, it was kinda cool to date someone that much younger then me.
You may want to shift your paradigm from "how do I get him to consider me" to "let's see if it's a good match". Maybe it's a good match, maybe not. Maybe he's thinking the same thing as you, but in reverse you know? Maybe he's very attracted to you, but he's thinking "but she'll thinks I'm too old for her".

I think I'm mature for my age.. and I'm getting tired of dating guys in their early 20s. So I want to at least try this.. but I don't want to be too forward..

Go for it, make it clear to him you're interested in him. I'd suggest the direct way:
Initiating Relationships with Openness, Honesty, and Directness.
