But I'm trying to be mature. I'll be 27 this month. It will be significantly more difficult to find a woman with no children at this point.
As a woman who dated in her 30's, I found it difficult to find guys who didn't have a kid or two. I can imagine it being harder for a guy looking for a woman without kids. You can't make the reason for staying with someone be because you're afraid you can't find someone without kids. You either want to be with someone or you don't. If kids is a deal breaker, then cut your losses sooner than later. She'll be better off if you do, too. She's probably had a hard time finding someone to date who's willing to date someone with a kid. If you're not that guy, then you're wasting her time, too. [Reply]

This is solid advice, Virus. I believe I mentioned the same thing a while back, too. [Reply]
I'd keep hitting them single moms til you find a mid 30's divorcee with a grown kid. By then your life is established and some other dude already weathered her drama years. [Reply]

I read my reply to my boyfriend. His response?
[To me] I don't think I can date you anymore. I'm not into chicks with kids.
This is why I love this guy. (My kid is his...lol)

I met my wife through internet dating. It speeds the process up, and I was able to filter by criteria I was looking for (profession/salary/sports interests/no kids/etc). Perfect for people that have busy lifestyles. [Reply]
