Would you date someone with kids?

I realize that sometimes a love interest (with a child in the framework) seems like an unnecessary burden. However, people are people and sometimes good things can be found in these circumstances. It all depends on what we are looking for.

A child does make casual relationships seem a bit more complex.
The first thing to keep in mind is of course that a gal who has a child wants to tie the knot very quickly to give her kid a normal familial upbringing.

I've had some strange examples of this in the past which I would rather not bring up but it seems that these chicks always *gun for me and it always gets awkward and I always have to say 'no thanks' before things get too weird. *(Probably because I am a sucker.)

(Additionally, be weary! It seems that unwed women are far craftier than regular women on the dating scene)

Whatever can be said about the excess baggage of a child to lug along, it really matters how much you are willing to overlook/come to grips with this in lieu of the love interest. If she lights a spark everytime you are with her. If your heart smiles with joy and everything is right with the world when you are together I would consider that a very rare thing and something not to be taken lightly.

Sometimes unwed parents get the shaft and they can be very sweet people...or psychopathic axe wielding beef butchers, but that's besides the sharpened point. If a person is right for you, only you can know. And the disadvantages of having a child to deal with probably isn't as bad as it seems.

Its good to find happiness and good companionship whenever we come across it, childless or otherwise.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

WOW. I... I'm... You... You're serious, aren't you?

You have to be sure you want to be in it for the kid first.

That's stupid. You definitely shouldn't kick the kid to the curb, but any relationship in which the child is the main focus, isn't much of a relationship to begin with. The most important relationship is that of the man and woman.

You don't start dating a guy or a woman because you like their kid.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
