I have a child and I date men with children. I have dated men with out children as well but children are a blessing and if you get the chance to be apart of their life(if you think the relationship might go somewhere) then go for it. YOU will be the 1 that misses out. Little people can teach us so much about ourselves..

I don't have any children so, I like the feeling of being a part of a family situation. It seem's more complete than my 46 year old single existence.

Well, I have a child so I guess that pretty much answers it. And while I'd casually date someone without kids, I'm not sure I could get seriously involved with someone who didn't have them. Kids take a lot of time, patience, and commitment and someone without them doesn't really understand the challenges it can present. But, I never say never either flowerforyou

it really kind of depends on how old the kids are and how well she is raising them.

i mean, on paper, it all seems like peaches and cream, like the best case scenario being you could even be this psuedo family and a surrogate parent.

the reality is you could get stuck having to deal with this bratty kid in order to see your gf.

imagine getting hot and heavy with your girl and getting right up to the injection when you hear a knock at the door. it little Tommy and not only did he poop his pants, but he's scared and wants to sleep in mommy's bed now. mood killers from hell.

OR maybe the kid has a problem with you getting mom's attention and takes any oppurtunity to kill your moods on purpose.

OR maybe that whole psuedo family/surrogate dad thing can get pushed on you and you find yourself buying kid clothes and driving this woman's kid to school at 8 in the morning everyday.

this kind of thing isnt always the case, but its a definite possibility.

the kid is not going away and takes precedence every time. keep that in mind.

See, this attitude is why dating someone who doesn't have kids when you do is difficult. flowerforyou flowerforyou

It's a choice we all make about what's right for us. If you can't deal with the situation or don't want to, then don't get involved. It'll never work in the end and all you'll be is bitter and angry.
