What would you do????
You met someone and have gone out a few times. You enjoy seeing this person and have fun when you go out, however, that person is 12 years younger than you and they have a 6 year old kid. Your kids are grown and well, your youngest is in high school and you don't really want to go down that road again. Do you...A. keep seeing the person because you have a good time when your with them and don't worry about the future at this point.
B. End it before you start to develop feelings, because you know there is no way you want to deal with kids again.
C. Keep dating and see if you change your mind about the kid, even though you know the chances of that are slim to none.
D. Other....

I think it all depends on one's living circumstances or where one is in their life. It could be a okay situation for some, but not for others.
I think, if it just doesn't feel right for some reason, then your heart is not really in it, or something within your soul is telling you it's not quite right.
Maybe follow this instinct and do what you feel is right for you. Why stay in a relationship if you're not totally comfortable and happy about it?
Whatever happens, I wish you lots of joy and smiles, everyday.
Why drag somebody down with their child to boot...if you are going to have negative feelings because of the kid?

I think I'm redefining the royal name.. should be written in the virtual history books..
tell me who wants the jester role
I have friends who are older than I am - 10 to 15 years is not a big deal. I have friends who are younger - again, 10 to 15 years does not stop us being friends. Suddenly that's a problem when you're dating? It isn't. You like, or you don't like.
Took me a while to realize a friend I was blethering with more and more often - superbright, argumentative, challenging, interesting - was actually keen, and that was a bit of a shock. He's 15 years younger than me. His daughter - he started his family later than I did - was 9 at the time, and my daughter was 30. Yes,do the math, his daughter could EASILY have been my grandchild. Have a thing, or back hastily away? I knew it wasn't ever going to be serious, but he was a huge boost to my ego at a time when I needed a boost, not every relationship has to be serious to be worthwhile.
I never met her. He only saw her every other Sunday and the time was precious to them both. In fact his previous GF, in their whole 3-year relationship, never met his daughter either. At first it was because it would cause issues with his ex-wife, and then because it worked as an arrangement.
Would I have wanted to meet her? Hell no. I'm with you on that one - been there, done that. It worked for us.
If you are incapable of enjoying a relationship unless it is pointed towards permanent, then no, of course don't date him. Since you wrote this blog yonks ago, it would be seriously interesting to know what you decided, and why?
