He already has kids and by the time you are ready to have your own, he may not want any because he may feel he is too old.
It's not to say that age difference always gets in the way, but you need to be aware that someone who is 38 thinks a lot differently than someone who is 21.

40 and 57 are 'closer' than 21 and 38 life-stagewise. (Plus when the genders are opposite, those ages work better
)
At 18 I was seeing someone twice my age. It didn't work out because of age primarily but it was fun while it lasted. Which is the main point. If you're enjoying each other, don't think twice. Second-guessing makes one lose what otherwise could be a wonderful experience. And all experiences, regardless of their conclusions, are good things that keep us growing and learning. 38 is far from old-it's really a terrific man-age
