pauljb72: if a girl wont accept your children then she's not the one for you. they are part of your life whether they live with you or not, im in the same boat myself, but there are girls out there that can appreciate the fact that you arent just that cold you can switch off an old part of your life to start a new one, dont be discouraged there are some nice girls out there.

For me its not an issue because of the relationship developed between two people/adults.

From my experience, I make it clear to the children, I am not a mother and I can be a really good friend etc... I generally set boundaries so that I am not depended on, particularily if we live alone. If we live together, I have then accepted the commitment to him and his family.

No different from me having a cat, if you have issues with cats - then move on.

kismat: I found a woman who's awesome.
I flirted with her and she was keen but when I said I had children she lost interest fast. Well not in those words but ya get the point.

I love my boys and just wanted to get a womans view on dating men with children. Honestly a lot of women say they don't mind but when it comes to the crunch........well

Hi Kis i know this is an older thread but it seems to have been revived, now that is a question which deserves an honest answer, my daughter is 20 this year, and as for my son well you guys all helped me out with that one thank you..... but as for dating someone with littlies, i have done my time with real little ones love them dearly but i honestly could'nt go back there, older ones are fine, and if your straight up with them before it goes toooo far then you have your answer, as cgd said tell them you have the kidlets, and how much they mean to you, but don't bring the children into it untill your certain that it is going somewhere, or untill she asks when she can meet them, then you Definitely know that she is genuine and interested in the kids and you, wave

Well as far as Im concerned, ta hell with the wench...you stay loyal to your boys...and don't give up, there are descent woman out there.

How do I know this? I'm living proof. I met this guy (who later became my husband and the father of my two beautiful childre) I liked him as a friend, i spent time with him, now he had four children at the time, 6,5,3 and 2yr old. the three year old was spina-bifida, but because he had children didn't make him any different than the nice person he was. So in the end we married and had 2 of our own. Okay the marriage didnt last forever but I loved him and his children. So I became an instant mum at the age of 16, because we raised the children, at 20 i married him and at 21 i had my first. He is now 18 and our daughter is 17.

So as far as im concerned, keeping being staunch to your boys and cool to your actions and trust me you can't go wrong and one day a real lady will come your way.

Ps: She wasn't as awesome as you thought she was. No one is awesome, whether man or woman, if they do not accept the persons children. And no man or woman should ever choos a person over their children.

my youngest, and only one living with me, is 18. I always fill in the bit that says i have children living with me but he's not a child any more. yes he lives with me but he has job , a girlfriend, and a life that sees his rarely home. i fill it in because i feel if i dont i'm not being completely honest, but i wonder how many potentials ,have wandered on by after reading i have kids living with me?

(in contrast to the number of potentials that have looked at my profile and said "OMG thats FARRRRRKIN' ugly" and then wandered on by lolrolling on the floor laughing )

I dated a man with children recently. The thought of a single guy with kids didn't turn me off at all. It was the thought of him and his parenting ways that were the turn off. Very bad and nasty to his children and I found that terrible. very mad
