Very difficult love dilemma. Please help

If you’ve never met any of them, I am not sure how you can consider a relationship or even choose between them and why. No matter how long you talk to them, they are strangers. I’d be looking for someone local

Oh never mind you did meet one of them but still it means nothing. One of them is in his 50s so that’s the one that lied? Why do you want any of these guys? Are there no young free men in your area?

You seem extremely trusting. He told his kids about you? I am sure he didn’t do such a thing. What would he tell? That he talks to a much younger woman he’s never met? What would he say it for? Also all these men planning life with you when they don’t even know you, and they all love you, that’s just not how it works.

The older guy was talking to you from when you were 13? Is that correct? He is 51 now so he was a middle aged man when he told you he was just 2 years older? That's huge red flags

My thoughts too. He needs reporting and his Internet history checked. Op please don't meet this man.

You were 13 this man spoke to you online? Oh boy I missed all that. You were a child! Doesn’t sound like a “love” dilemma.

Just because they are older, it doesn't mean I am. It's just how it happened, and what opened up for me.

He said it's because I am probably coming over for a few days when I can, to meet him, and he wants the children to know beforehand. He said they were fine with it, although I thought they might mind, and somehow don't mind my age.

Well it's tricky meeting young men, I am a bit old fashioned so would prefer to meet them in real life, but everyone these days seems to meet online on a dating site. Except a few who have tons of friends and meet them through friends. Just out of interest, how would you suggest I meet them? Nights out haven't proved productive ... there are also no Meetup and similar groups where I live.
Thank you for your comment.

Look I'm not against age gaps in adult relationships in general, and he might genuinely like you. BUT he will likely continue to have relationships with underaged people and has likely done so this entire time. You are a very convenient cover by the way, even if he's not fully aware he's using you that way. There are high high risks with P. Someday, and probably not too far away, you will likely be devastated with him. It's ok to walk away from something that feels so good. There will be another. I'm not sure about D, but you should feel much better about the manner and your age when meeting. Don't let your attachments and emotions overrule sense.

I was in a few online relationships myself. When I met them, I was disgusted by them. I don't know why but they all turned me off. Now, I only date people who are nearby. I believe one's mind fantasizes about people online and makes them to be more than who they really are. I would never want to be with someone who I never met in person anymore. This is just my experience. I am much older than you but am telling you that you should really think about what you are getting into. Also, you are so young, why don't you invest in getting a good job, instead of finding men online? Men come and go. A good job helps pay the bills and earns your freedom to do what you want. If I were you, I would invest in your life, instead of trying to invest your energy in others who you have never met. I'm 100 percent sure when you meet these men, you are going to run like the wind in the opposite direction. If it is too good to be true, it is. I have known men online from few months to years, and every one I met afterwards made my stomach churn. I am not joking! I still have problems finding good men from dating apps that I don't recommend either. Where can you find men? Why don't you find a good job and may be there might be some men at your new job? Just a thought. Best wishes!

I see you have met one of these men? Well, please don't settle for someone because he is in your life. Are you sure you really like him? I think not or you would not have a dilemma choosing one man from another. As I said, why don't you invest in finding a good job? There will be men there, I'm sure of this. Also, like the previous posters say about someone talking to you when you are 13 and grooming you is outright disgusting to me. But, since you are desperate in finding men, I highly advise you to invest in yourself first before sharing your life with somebody else. I say this because if you can't take care of yourself first, no matter what you do to find other people to be with, it won't work! I know I sound harsh but your choice of men are slim pickings and even I with half a brain and screwed up mind know that your situation could be improved by not worrying about the kind of men you described. Find yourself and others will find you/ Invest in yourself and others will be interested in you.

I noticed you mentioned your mom in your posts but not your dad. I wasn’t suggesting you were looking for a father figure on purpose.

You’ve met this older man online, so you could try online in your area but you should be able to meet them right away, not talking for years. That’s why I suggest local.

Him saying he told his children, doesn’t mean he actually did. He tells you what you want to hear. I’d not be taking everything these strangers say at a face value.

What do you mean I should feel much better about the manner and my age when meeting? I didn't quite understand that. As I have always liked him, and am pleased he wants to come over for a week to spend some time.
