I have and would date someone with kids. But I would not parent anyone else's kids at the beginning of a relationship, and I wouldn't expect anyone I get involved with to be a parent to my daughter. As for her 'father', he chose not to be in her life so that is no longer an issue.
I have similar dreams all the time. Or I have to dial a number and there are so many digits I keep messing it up. I think it is caused by stress, maybe due to frustrations in your life, or things you can't control.
No way, I think my age is the least important thing about me. I don't want to put someone off because they have a preconceived idea about women my age, when it has nothing to do with me. At least let them check out my profile before they rule me out completely.
Why I don't post much, is a lot of times the thread title has nothing to do with the subject. Also, sometimes the thread gets hijacked so by time you read it, the original subject is no longer being discussed. Or else the tone is nasty and I don't want to get pulled down to that level.
My grandmother had a daughter she gave up for adoption long before she had my dad. They finally reunited a few years ago and I got to meet my aunt. It's cool. There are more people in my family who need to resolve their differences, or reunite but some may never happen. I have relatives who have gone to their graves never speaking again to their siblings after quarrelling over something stupid. Sad.
Letting somebody see my flaws, both mental and physical. Getting hooked up with a 'clingon', or having to alter my lifestyle to fit someone in. Or just having another one that didn't work out after putting in time and energy. That's why I really haven't really bothered much in the last 13 years or so.
I'm only 5'3'', so most men are taller, but I have gone out with guys not much taller than me, and I kind of like the compact types. Easier to dance with someone closer to my size.
This was a few years ago, I haven't dated much since. It put me off, as my daughter was young and I didn't have time to deal with that kind of clinginess in another person. I'm sure you have more maturity than that right?
