I was in a similar situation this time last. I would say be VERY careful. The chances are that this man isnt interested in any kind of serious relationship right now. You may end up being the rebound.
I know you may not have wanted to hear that, but it had to be said (as I was deeply hurt by the man I was dating).
I suggest that you both be very open and honnest about what you want, and be careful that you're both on the same page.
Best of Luck :)

reader, anonymous, writes (22 December 2008): my current girlfriend's prior bf was eight years older than her. she had just gotten out of the 3+ year relationship she had with her high school sweetheart and rebounded with the older dude, 28 years to her 20. he was also in the process of legalizing a divorce. it ended seven months later with her heartbroken. he took her for a ride, and she regrets ever being with him. nothing is impossible, but i'd be very very cautious. that is a huge age gap, especially at those ages. and if he's going through a divorce, he's not looking for anything serious. honestly, i thinking proceeding with that relationship and expecting forever is stupid, and you will only wind up hurt.
tread carefully.
