| Kids???????? Posted: 7/29/2008 5:50:22 PM | I think it really depends on what you're looking for in a mate. I've been married, I suppose one day I'd like to be married again but right now I'm just looking for someone to go out with and spend time with. In that sense, whether or not I have children doesn't matter because my children won't be a part of my dating. I have a hard fast rule of not introducing my dates to my children until I've hit the 6 month mark and so far that's worked for me.
Personally, I would rather date a single father as I think we could relate better. But I'm really not opposed to dating a child-free man either as long as my having children isn't an issue. While I don't take advantage of it, I could go out on the spur of the moment date occassionally (yay family) so I think it's really dependant on how much you're willing to give and what you need from your partner. That person does need to feel like they are important to you on some level and that you are willing to make some sacrifices for a relationship when it gets to a higher level (not saying at the begining, but when you've been dating a while).
That said, I'm single and enjoying it so if a child-free guy doesn't want to date me, oh well. I'm very happy to be hanging out with my kids every night.  | |
