Long distance relationship with a man with kids

Hi all - desperately looking for some advice. I recently flew to the states for a work trip and I really hit it off with a guy. I feel like I have never had such a strong connection with anyone before. We spent several weeks together between working, until it was time for me to come back to the UK. We’ve been in touch every day and he is super keen to fly here to spend more time together. The problem is he already has two primary age children so he is not going to relocate to the UK anytime soon. I’m early thirties and my body clock is ticking.

Am I ignoring reality to think this has any hoping of working out long term?

Are you prepared to move to America if it worked out? If so, give it a go and see how things pan out if you like him. What harm can a few months do? If you would never move there, there is no point seeing how things go. I am 42 and have a one year old so you don’t have to rush things!
