No, he is not a good choice for you. He’s too old and the power dynamic would be way off because of your difference in life experience and your insecurity around feeling unlovable and antisocial. Keep at it with the therapy. Once you believe you are a likable and lovable person – a place that therapy can help you get to – you will begin attracting people who share and recognize the positive traits in you. And instead of worrying about being worthy of their attention, you can enjoy feeling well-matched because you both will bring positive traits and likability to the table.
