Dating an older man

So there’s this guy that likes me. He’s 41 & I’m 23. But I always feel like he intimidates me like a lot I think it’s because he is older ! My question is has anyone dating an older man ? Like I always feel shy and he’s been trying to come see me and take me on a date forever now but I’m legit scared . But he does help me if I need it and he never has a problem helping me at all. We never did anything at all. He does have kids from his last marriage but their kind of older now.

We text a lot and sometimes he can try to get sexually over text and that pushes me away. But he apologizes. Like he really adores me I like him but I’m nervous. I have a 3 years old also
