I recently met this guy who I really like but he has a 5 year old daughter and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I don't have much experience with kids and I'm not even sure if I really like kids. Would you date someone if he/she had a kid?
If I was really into them, of course I would! Of course, it would depend on what I wanted in life and where I was at the time, but overall, I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker. If you have issues with it though, don't feel bad if you don't want to stick around. It's your life, and being with someone with a child is a big responsibility. I said yes, but not at the age I'm at. You're still pretty young yourself.
sure, if i really liked her i wouldn't let a kid stop me. realistically, i would know going in that it will make things a bit harder though.
It's tricky because kids always make things more complicated, but it shouldn't stop you from seeing how things go. I think with me, I'd be concerned that we couldn't do as much because of his need to help out with the kid. Perhaps talk to him and see how he feels - if he likes you it shouldn't be a problem.
It's easy to deal with the kid; just drive them to a mall really far away, leave them in the toy store, and drive home. Problem solved.
It depends what he feels about you and the child as well. As in, what he wants out of you in regards to the child, to be a fill in mother and accept the same responsibilities, or to just be his girlfriend. I know if I cared for someone enough, the fact that theres a child in the equasion wouldnt, and hasnt stopped me before.
I'd date a guy if he had a kid. No biggie. But if he is really weird about my relationship with his child. Like expects a lot out of me then I dunno. I understand it's a part of the deal. But balance is always good.
