Is a 9 year age gap a problem ?

I met a guy we hit it off instantly really lovely person. The topic about age came up, however he thought I was older than I actually am. Turns out we got a 9 years age gap, which then made him question if it was right for him to pursue. He said he usually dates at least 1 year older than me which I said I understand we left it as that. We bumped into eachother again and he seemed gutted we had a convo and he said he feels at my age I would be wanting different things. I noticed a picture on his phone it turns out he has a child, I showed him I had a child also and that seemed to make him feel different and he asked if we should just give it a go and see how things are.

we get along extremely well totally comfortable. Do you think he was concerned about my age as he has a child and would think I would prefer to be out having fun then be with a guy with a child ?

I don’t want to get excited about this being special if it’s not.

I don’t think it’s a problem per se but sometimes men seek younger women who are more compliant and likely to put up with their controlling ways. Just go in with eyes open.
