Dating a woman with childern that are not yours
Now here’s a subject! This is something that I am learning more and more about every day.
This is probably because I am dating a woman with a child. For me, as with many other men, this
is something completely new. I have been dating Katie for about 8 months and she has a 7 year
old son, David. Before I get into any advice or personal experiences it is extremely important
to note that everyone’s situation is unique. With that in mind, here are a few things to
consider.
*The mother’s relationship with the father.
*The child’s relationship with both parents.
*Age/sex of the child.
*Your relationship with the child.
*Your relationship with the father.
*Your job, hobbies and interests, and whether they are condusive to having a child around.
*Do you have or want children?
These are some very basic factors that need to be taken into careful consideration before
any further conjecture can be made or opinions formed. Remember, everyone’s situation is
unique.
I have known many single mom’s but have never dated any. Nor have I ever asked their thoughts
on this subject. Well there’s never a time like now. I’m going to take the time to talk
to a few people that may be able to enlighten me. This may take a few weeks but it’s something
that I definitely look forward to learning and writing more about. I also certainly wouldn’t
mind hearing from people from across the net with their thoughts and experiences, both male and
female.
I don’t have all the answers, but I’m always looking for them.
