I'm 21 years old, very mature... going to school for business and still living at home with my parents. I'm very close with my family. I just met a great guy but he's 38, divorced and has 2 kids. We went out a couple times and we have a lot of fun together. I pursued him, not vice versa. I don't know how I would tell my family though... don't think they would be very accepting... We get along great though, I like him a lot and I know my parents would like him also, just not the fact of us dating. What should I do?

If you just met him, I don't see the need to do anything right away. Give it some time. You won't really know for awhile yourself whether it's going anywhere. Seventeen years is a pretty big age difference, and you seem to be in a bigger hurry than he is. Slow down, and try to become aware of the origin of your urge to hurry.
