dating and kids
| Thu, 03-23-2006 - 11:03pm |
Hi everyone,
I am 37 yrs and recently divorced. I have two kids, 9 and 8 yrs. Does it make the dating prospects difficult if you are a mom as opposed to not having kids? Are there certain types of men that you can say will not be interested in dating a woman with kids? Should I be interested in dating only men who have kids??? How does it go? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Pianoguy thinks whom use choose to date and whether the man is comfortable around your children pretty much determines the success (or failure) or any dating experience.
While some of us might LIKE or LOVE you like crazy, a few often become a little slighted when you're constantly bringing up activities your children did...or vocally worrying about them during a date? It's as if we're taking you away from people YOU'D RATHER SPEND TIME WITH?
Other men enjoy the stories you share that are either connected with your children or other family members. Many of us will usually ask a few questions...or possibly offer a personal comment or two?
While we certainly don't expect to have 100% of your attention if you choose to go out with us and leave your children at home for a few hours, I think the question that often pops into our heads is: "Is this lady actually having 'a good time'...or would she be happier at home?"

It' s ok to date men who don't have kids but you certainly want them to like kids - particularly yours!
Then there's the issue of do they want some of their own eventually,and how do you feel about that?
