Liking a Man with 3 kids?

Recently I, 19F, had started talking to my male coworker, 39M, about why we couldn't be in a relationship. My main concern is that he has 3 children, the oldest only being 6 years younger than me. Reading on these threads have made me afraid that mixed families don't really work and that his kids may not like someone as young as me being their father's midlife crisis. All 3 children live with him and personally I think he's an amazing father to his children. I'm maybe looking for advice on whether there's any real problem with me having relations with him and if it's ultimately worth it.

I’m 38 years old with two young children. There is no way in a million years I would advise a 19 year old to get into a relationship with a 39 year old with three children. No way!

To adopt you as his 4th kids? Little girl, this old geezer has been alive 20 years longer than you have been alive. The age gap is bigger than your own entire life. What in the daddy issues is wrong with you to even look at him? I would feel like I had let you down if you were my kid entertaining old men like him. Stick to boys under 23, dear. Your brain ain't even fully developped yet. Smh..

So when he was a 20yr old man, a baby was born. Now he wants to shag that baby. Charmed I'm sure!

It's creepy OP. I know you probably can't see that now, because you feel like a grown up. But imagine your Dad doing this? I'd advise against it my love.

I'd report him to HR.

Absolutely vile.

Recently I, 19F, had started talking to my male coworker, 39M, about why we couldn't be in a relationship.

Have you been the one trying to explain why it's a bad idea and he's the one trying to convince you otherwise?

Agree with the PP that you should report him to HR.

Imagine you did get into a relationship with him and it's a few years down the line, and his youngest is 17/18/19 and their female friends are around the house, you'll be paranoid all the time that he's creeping on them, which he most likely would be because he sounds like a sleazy fucker.

I also doubt very much that he's an amazing father, because an amazing father wouldn't be trying to get with a 19 year old.
