    Dating older man.How to tell family?
    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.
