I've recently been seeing a man and I think I want to breach the subject of daring exclusively with him. I know that his last 3 relationships have been with single moms. I told him I'm not interested in marriage or kids and he seems fine with that for the time being-which is fine with me.

I am trying to get a sense of what type of girls he likes and what type of relationship he's looking for.

Would a man who has been dating single moms for years want to date someone who is not going to ever have children.

I've only ever heard of men on the opposite end of the single mom spectrum.

Any ideas?

Ok then he likes family life unless the others didn't allow their kids to be around.

Does he want children of his own some day? I think if I were set on not marrying or having children then I'd need to know for sure if the person I want to get involved with in a serious way is on the same page, else I'd be wasting my time.

Like in my case, I have children, and would like at least one more, which means I don't get involved with men who do not want children.

Most of the men I have dated have kids. At least in the areas I lived the majority of men in their late 30's to early 40's were divorced with children, resembling my situation. I've also gone out with men who didn't have, but wanted kids. My current beau does not have kids, but he wants them. My having kids is not an issue. *shrug*

We've been casually dating/hooking up for 3 months.

Well you know him better than we do, and I'd say go with your gut. If it were me, without knowing him, I think it might be a little too soon and he could feel pressured. I'd probably just keep on keeping on. If he wants you, he is going to hang in there.

I do get the feeling that he likes to "play" house.

The dating single mom's could be more of a coincidence.
But I know some guys that prefer to date women who have children. It can go either way. I know some guys who just can't date a woman who has a child.

With dude being 29, I wouldn't read into it at all. But at 3 months, hopefully you have an idea on whether or not HE wants kids at some point.
