This isn't even about logic, it's about fundamentals. Being on the same page kids/no kids-wise, and also money management-wise are essential to a successful long-term relationship/marriage/partnership. Anyone who would scream at you for that is really out of touch, and asking for a failed relationship.
All dates don't have to lead to a relationship! Haven't you ever gone out with someone just to have fun?

Well, a little update. No sooner than I write this damn thread, I'm kind of communicating with someone I met and could possibly date in the future. She is openly childfree. So I'm happy to take this chance as a low-risk thing.

This makes me so happy. It's good to take it slow.

Some of the most important topics that you NEED to be on the same page on before
-Kids (if you should have them and how you're gonna' raise them)
-In-laws (how you're gonna' deal with them; how your significant other feels about them; how close there allowed to be)
-Money (how are you gonna handle that: debt or no debt? Budgeting? important things to save for?)
-Religious affiliation (need I say more?)
-Location (where you'll try to live)

Hell if this works out into a relationship that will be reward enough for me but continue saying how wrong I am in a backhanded way.
