new to the whole dating again thing
| Fri, 09-24-2004 - 5:20pm |
i am a single mother of 3 ~ been divorced for about 3 years. since the divorce i have been in a couple of relationships, both of which were people i knew either before the marriage or whatever (bottom line is ~ they both knew about my entire past). recently i met someone who i absolutely adore BUT he knows nothing of my history, nothing of my kids, i think he suspects the marriage part and may have overheard the kids part... but has not mentioned anything. i know that he likes me, he told me this already, but i need some advice/input. i don't want him involved with my kids at all, which is why i have not mentioned them to him, BUT i don't want him to feel like i lied by not telling him. so i know, tell him. but what are typical responses from that? i mean, most men that i have met, the first thing i tell them is that i have kids, and it never seems to bother them. i guess i am just nervous because this one i really do like.

The fact is: We are single mothers. Some guys will date us, some won't. But, who cares? We have great kids.
Good luck.

I agree with the others and that you should definitely tell him you have kids. But do present that in a positive fashion. They are a wonderful asset and he is getting more for the price of one!!
But don't introduce them too soon. Go slow, enjoy!!
