    I met this guy about 2 months ago, definite spark and we got along really well. Since then we’ve been chatting a good bit on facebook and texting. However there are a few issues. First of all there is a bit of an age difference (I’m early thirties and he’s late forties) which in itself is not huge but he’s recently (last year) divorced and has 2 kids late teens/early 20’s.

    Secondly he lives in London, not the easiest in any circumstances. We’ve met up twice since, both times have been on the back of business trips for one or other of us. He has asked me to come over next month for a few days (not to stay with him) and after thinking about it, I agreed. So I’ve just booked the flights and now I’m wondering if it was the right thing to do.

    I mean, what hope is there that anything will come from this. I really do like him but it just seems that there are too many obstacles to make it work. We haven’t really spoken a lot about this as it’s way too early. Any thoughts/advice would be really appreciated!

    Thanks for reading :)

    Totally agree with the above.

    I think you should just enjoy yourself for now and see where all of this leads. It's very early days and if you like this man and you're getting on well with him why don't you just enjoy that for now? :)

    Thanks for that :)

    Of course you're both completely right! I think I just booked the tickets and freaked out a little and started to think 'what am I doing?'. Anyway I'm just going to go, have fun and see what happens.

    Thanks again :)

    Hey OP, my friend was in a somewhat similar situation to you a few years ago - he met an older guy online, he was living in Cork and the other guy in the UK. The UK guy had been married and had 2 kids but eventually when he came to terms with his sexuality, he and his wife divorced. Anyhoo, my mate and UK guy chatted online for a few months before making arrangements to meet up. The buddy flew over and never came home. They got married! And are still living their happily ever after.

    I suppose the moral here is take a chance. See what happens. I'm not suggesting you move but just enjoy it for what it is now and if ye are meant to be, ye will find a way to make it work. And most importantly, enjoy!!!! :)
