View topic - Would you date someone with a kid?
It would depend on how old they were with the kid, how old the kid was, and how old I was. Right now, at 19 years old, no, I wouldn't date anyone with a child because I'm not ready to be that child's potential parent, no matter what age. If I were in my thirties and my significant other had a child of about 10 or under, then sure. I'd give it a shot. Any older than that with a child any older? Sure. But I wouldn't expect to be perceived as that child's parent in his or her eyes, though I would help them whenever they needed it.

I could date a guy with a kid no problem. As long as he was smart whenever I wanted to have sex and wore a condom so he wouldn't have another unplanned child, I could be fine with it. Now if he was a terrible dad I would probably dump his butt because I date to find love and when I find love I'll want to get married and have kids. But, if he was a great dad, there is probably a great chance I'd fall in love with him because I'd want him to be my baby's daddy :P
If I poof, it's because I got lost o.0
I hate to say it but most likely no unless he or she didn't have care of the child.
I have no desire for children so I wouldn't see a point to dating someone who already had one if they were responsible for the child's care. If the child had been adopted out or was being raised by the other parent I might consider it.

Personally it depends on the childs other parents role in the life of the one i was about to date. After all, who would want to date someone who still has major feelings for the one who helped have the kid. I wouldnt care if they had the kid or even a decent relation with the other parent, so long as they arent still flirting or on extremely good footing with the other. Hell, I'd even help raise the kid. But I dont want to be competing against the former girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse for attention from my new boyfriend/girlfriend.

I would LOVE to date somebody who has children.
Being a gay male, it would bring in the aspect (if they're biological) that, obviously, he had been with a female, but that wouldn't phase me so much, I don't think.
As, with being gay, it can be hard to have kids (obviously, not biological with your partner - Maybe adopt, but that's icky business, maybe have a donor egg, but that can be iffy, too)
I dunno, I'd love it because it would be pretty much what I want in life - That special somebody and children. :3
Well, can I just say thank God for people who don't automatically say no. My son was 10 months old when I met the man about to become my husband, and it didn't faze him in the slightest. Even the fact that my son is white and my fiance isn't, so therefore neither is the child that we had together, hasn't stood in the way of becoming a family and demanding that others see us as a family. If anyone asks me, I tell them that my fiance IS my son's father, and if they challenge that then I take it as a mark of their character, not of our family.
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a year now, and he has two children. He does not see them, and I have not met them. They are with his ex wife in the mainland, with the pacific ocean to separate him. But they have had a major impact on our relationship. I experience 'the breadcrumbs'. I don't blame him... I understand. His every decision revolves around them. One day I know I will have to meet them if our relationship holds. I'm amazed at how much strain it puts on the both of us. He has made it clear that I will always come second when it comes to his children. I knew that when I agreed to be in a serious relationship. But I often find myself wishing he didn't have children. At the moment, I believe I love him. But if I knew what I was in for when this started, I think I might have decided differently. Anyway, that is what I have to say on this topic. I don't trust myself to say more.
I definitely would, but I don't think it's something that should be done first-second-third dates. The person should be honest and let the person their dating know that they have a kid, but the child should not be introduced very early in a relationship. I don't feel like you should expose your child to every new person you date, especially if you're in an active dating regimen. The child should be introduced once you feel that there may be a REASON for them to be around the child.
I like kids, though- so I wouldn't say no to a single father.. I have dated a single father before, even.

I wouldn't mind if I dated a person that had a kid, whether he or the other person had custody over that kid.
I guess it could matter what age the person is at? Like if I was dating a person younger with a kid, and I wasn't ready to have one for myself, and we were getting serious.. I'm not sure tbh.

Most definitely, though I'm only 17 as of now. As for being a biological female, and interested in women, I still don't want a child growing inside of me. Sooo, having a significant other with a child already would be a pleasant experience. It'd be more awesome if the child was still a little toddler too, so I could share experiences with the kid and raise him/her the full length in life, and teach them to be friendly & what not. Even if the kid is more grown, & perhaps disobedient, it'd still be a great experience.
They're just so cute either way~ c:

Why wouldn't you date someone just because they have a child? Especially at my age (24), People have kids, it happens. That doesn't change we they are.

I have and I would. But it's not my responsibility to help them raise their child unless their committing in marriage to me. It is a turn off for a woman or man to have a kid, even more so if their young.
Donate for my birthday? its MAY 20th!
