An older woman and younger man question?

I am 29 and a 19 year old at University has been flirting with me. Apparently his first girlfriend at 17 was 22 so he likes older woman. I have come out of a 10 year marriage with my first ever boyfriend and am ready to have a new relationship. He is very mature, studies, works is independent. I am afraid if I go into a relationship that I will be judged by family and friends harshly. I also have 2 kids under 10 and fear being outcast by the mums at school- who are bitches anyway. I wanna do something for me- which I have never done. He is incredibly attractive and popular and my friend who is 21 says he is so attracted to me it is so obvious. His best friend is 25. Do I go there???? Has it worked for you before!!! So afraid of other peoples opinions....maybe I should just live my life????
