Would you date someone who has children?

Honestly my answer would have been "most likely no" about a year ago but now I don't care that much about it. Anyway the older you get the higher the chances are that you'll meet someone in that situation anyway.

So I've been there done that and bought the T-Shirt. (A While ago now). At the time I didn't really care- however would I do the same thing again? no. Purely because I just don't want to have to deal with that hassle/juggling. Many people don't realise but a Child can make it very difficult for a younger couple to do fun things. (its not the kids fault and in my case the father wasn't around so yeah that just compounded it). It makes just being a couple and doing couple stuff very difficult which can be taxing in the early stages of a relationship. It can also make breakups more complicated. Fact is too for me I stayed in what was a bad/abusive relationship for the sake of that same child. I was the only stable male in her life and it made things alot more complex as mentioned. I wouldn't want to put myself in that situation again. Also personally after that experience it helped clarify that I absolutely do not want children yet (for a while).- I have an empire to build etc etc...and the harsh reality is doing these things while you have children is 1000x more difficult. I'd rather spawn when the time is right (if it ever is).

No, when I was in college there was a girl who had a baby who apparently liked me, I did not return the feelings. She was pretty and I'm sure was a nice person, but I feared (and still fear) becoming a surrogate parent. Although I eventually want kids, just not right now.

I might, but honestly it scares me. One thing I've learned in my life is that I'm not ready to be a dad. I think I'd lean towards no, more for the kid's sake.

Nothing against kids actually, but I think I would feel like we are living in stages of life so different that I would not even try.

Depends on the age of the kids. If they were like twelve then no because I'm only eighteen myself. If they were young, say a few months to a year or two old then yes, sure. I think it's always easier with kids to integrate yourself in their lives when they're young. Often older children have their ways set after all and might not want a stepmother only a couple years older than them so would work on sabotaging any relationship. (Not that I could blame them lmao.)
