First off, I just joined this site. I had a man contact me. He told me about his JOB and his KIDS. He didn't tell me about HIM. So I was trying to get to know HIM. I asked him questions like - how would you describe your personality, what do you look for in a relationship, what do you look for in a woman, and what types of things would you like to do for dating?
Before I asked these questions, he had told me we had a LOT in common. He never answered my questions. But he did reply in a manner that made me feel like I am some horrible person for asking about dating and relationships.
I realize now that he was just looking for a woman to raise his kids. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE kids! But I have raised my own ALONE for over 17 years, and no one has wanted to help me.
I would gladly love and care for another man's children, as long as we have a good relationship between him & me. I mean we would date and do things other than just raising the kids.

Am I wrong???
no nothing wrong and if it is who i think it is run
Finding out about a person takes time. If he is not willing to talk about himself and who he is, maybe he is hiding something.
But maybe he doesn't want to open up just yet. You will have to judge over time if he wants more than a babysitter for his kids.
Good luck to you.
Oh his reply made it clear I would not be part of his life...ever. It was like "we are from different worlds...I don't want YOU to raise my kids...good luck".
Sheesh! So much for all those things we had in common!
I'd say dating sucks. But honestly it's been years since I've even HAD a date. Finding someone to date...sucks.

He seems to have started the way he means to go on. If he is not prepared to communicate with you on any depth about himself from the safety of his pc on such fundimentally important issues to you then what the hell would he be like once he feels he has won you over? It is too often the case that the ones who are most willing to give attract the most selfish of people who want to give back so little. And you seem so giving OP.

Geeze.... Lame for him to say that to you. What a childish response and without him even bothering to talk with you about your questions and stuff.
You deserve better! :) Good thing you found all this out before things got too far down the road!
Sweet_And_Sassy: WOW! I wonder who you think it is! (you can email me if you like)
P.S. He is a widower. Hmmm. Just sayin'
A word of advice....lots of guys put "Widower" up in their profile and display kids in pictures....this is a lure to reel you in...believe me...it's the feel sorry for me and my kids syndrome....when it's not even them and their kids displayed....and then when you start asking questions they become evasive....and may even suddenly dissapear....

Thank you! Yes, he wanted me to call at first, but I said I wanted to get to know HIM a little. I guess my instincts were right.
BOBANBOBAN: Am i the only one who actually read that???
hello...
Yes, BOBANBOBAN. I did just join THIS site, but I am no fool to the games that men play on dating sites. That's why I never rush into anything. I insist on getting to know someone 'til I feel comfy enough to take things off line. I rarely get dates, but hey, some day a good one has to come along. Right?
