Its one thing to meet someone and eventually find out that they are cheaters, have kids with mulitple men or women, etc, etc

Its another when you know this from the beginning and yet you still get into a serious relationship, expecting he or she to change overnight.

Are we so desperate for love that we are willing to do anything, or overlook everything to get it?

Nope.

I wouldn't date a known cheater, and you can't change the fact that someone has kids.

We? Nope on my end as well. I can't relate. I have excellent taste in men and women.

Sometimes these red flags come up, and when people are in the heat of the moment and let their hearts go. They think, "BUT this time it could be different."

Sometimes the cheater or person who shares these negative qualities for long-term relationship potential knows how to plant seeds by saying the right things and smooth talk.

Key thing is to use both your head and heart, and I'd also say- intuition. If all 3 are not aligned, people usually are fooling themselves. Someone who fits the bill (is honest and has pure intentions) is pretty consistent. You can see clearly what they're all about without giving too much of yourself before it's too late.

newp. Can't relate.

Of course, if I had opportunities with dating in the past 2 years or so, I may or may not be able to relate to this still.

No, but for example if I have mulitple "baby mommas" and Im seeing a woman who already knows this, what would make her think that I would stay with her if I got her pregnant?

Well, I wouldn't date someone who had multiple "baby mommas" to begin with. I actually only date quality people because I know that I'm a quality person - and I've never settled for less.

Thus far it seems like you are the only one in this thread who can answer your question. Is it about desperation for you or something else?
