Okay this one is for the guys. Guys lets say you been talking to a lady for a while, you finally go out on your first date and one thing leads to another and you wind up sleeping together. Despite the best intentions of both parties, she winds up getting pregnant(sometimes stuff happens).
Would you continue to date her, even though having kids now was the farthest thing from your mind and she's not your steady girlfriend?
Would you feel you had some obligation towards this child or would it simply be easier to just walk away and maybe just make some financial contributions.
Do you think she'd still be dateable to you now that she was pregnant and chances are that her body might be physically changed by said pregnancy?
Would marriage even be a consideration?
Your thoughts guys(I know you ladies will chip in too).

Although marriage would be considered, I'd still want some time to get to know her better, after all its a lifetime commitment - and I know scores of people who have raised children well and are not married and married people who are the worst example a child can have, so marriage wouldn't be based on the preggy bit.
And if the relationship doesn't work out, I'd make sure the baby doesn't suffer on it, and involve myself as much as I can in his/her upbringing.
tainogirl: Hey Snuggs. Well I am sure you'll find many that would say they would rather catch Pregnancy than AIDS. One ends in another human joining the race. The other - well we know how that race eventually ends. But abstinence is the only 100% way to prevent both the STD and the Pregnancy as far as I know.
You are absolutely right about abstinence.
And I agree that if it was me I'd rather have an unwanted pregnancy than STD. There is always around pregnancies but an STD you give your life away for ...like Boban says....6 minutes of fun Ain't worth it to me. If he doesn't have an umbrella for his noodle, we won't be cooking that night.

I know that this thread was really for the guys so I hope you won't mind if I add some thoughts.
If I were in this situation myself, I wouldn't really expect anything from the guy. I would tell him of course, since the two of us got me pregnant, but at this early stage, I wouldn't expect a commitment that wasn't going to organically happen anyway.
It would be highly unlikely that I would find myself in this situation to be honest. I don't depend on the guy I am with to ensure I don't get an STD or get pregnant.
