Me [25F] with my friend [42 M]

Certainly, he could one day take advantage of our relationship if he wanted to, I suppose. He's much stronger than I am and could easily get me alone since I trust him. But I think that's highly unlikely, though. He'd be much more likely to beat up on someone who tried to take advantage of me in some way.

We are both part of the same hobby, and met through that. He's got a wife (and for what it's worth, they seem to have a great relationship) and several adopted kids. He has met my other friends that are part of the hobby group, and has heard of others. And obviously, I know his friends from the hobby. I don't have a whole lot of family for him to meet, though. I have met his wife and one of his kids. And as far as I can tell, no red flags. I'm assuming by this point, there would have been.

Some details about our relationship, for context...we have a lot of things in common even outside our shared hobby and have similar personalities. He's pretty funny and gets me to laugh a lot, while I'm a bit more serious and roll my eyes at his silliness sometimes. He's also a very good listener and encouraging and protective (but not in any kind of jealous way). If he has things going on in his life, he will share with me, as well. So it's not a super one-sided relationship. I feel safe around him, and like he trusts me and I trust him. Other than that, I'm not sure what kinds of details you might want.
