People will use OLD for hookups or relationships - doesn't matter what the site is. I'm on a break from dating, but I would have loved to find a single dad of one as I am a single mom of one.
Very true. OLD has that anonymity which will always lead to people being bolder than usual. Well you ARE in NJ...lol
Do you have a vasectomy yet? Because that would prevent any women thinking they could "convert" you.
That is certainly something I have looked into. Stops that discussion all together. Maybe something to do this year. My suggesting it to someone I dated a bit caused her to get upset that I would do that.
it definitely didn't, lol! Yeah, I know us Jersey dwellers aren't worth the train ride for you hoighty toighty New York studs...
Ehh I'm in Queens. We aren't as snobish as the Manhattanites and Brooklynites (even though most arent even from NYC). I dont get all the Jersey hate. Minus Jersey Shore and Chris Christie.
So I have been Tindering it up and been failing pretty hard. I have met one girl but she had so many red flags that I identified but tried to ignore since I really had good convo with her.
My big issue is girls see that I have a child (I put it front and center to ensure the expectation is set) and they don't want to talk. When we do get to talk, if the convo about kids comes up, I say very strictly that I am not having anymore kids. I'm 31 with an almost 6 year old. I'm good. I don't want anymore, no one is convincing me, I just dont want to go through the newborn phase again and i just dont have money to support another child.
That makes it exceptionally hard to find someone. Anyone below 27 seems to want to just have fun and party and travel the world. Anyone over that age is looking for marriage and kids. I feel a bit stuck. I dont want to pull away and not look for "the one" but I feel like having these two strikes is a warning sign to women to stay away. I dont want to compromise because I know what's right for me, focusing on my daughter only.
Im a 35 y/o woman & i dont want kids. My bf has 2. When he said he didnt want anymore, i was over the moon! It's awesome bc theres never any pressure on that front.
So, does that mean you are automatically ruling out dating any women with kids?
