text: i been dating this man for 8months he is 19years older then me. i am 23 he have 3 kids. i have none. he say he he say he love me, i care about him to, but i just dont wanna get hurt. have any suggestions. take your time and don't rush this relationship.  your still young and you need to make sure you are jumping into a situation that won't allow you to continue to grow and be happy in your life.  a man that old with kids has a very settled and projected life.  you have to be sure this is really a life that you want to take on because kids and his life style are big responsibilities.
