When I did online dating I didn't bring up the kids issue but yes I did ask if they wanted marriage eventually. I didn't say "he wanna get married soon" but rather "are you dating with the thought of marriage eventually". I'm not interested in dating a man not into marriage and am not wasting my time dating one in the event he changes his mind about it. I dated a man who told me upfront he didn't want marriage and he NEVER changed his mind.
Marriage or Kids should not even be mentioned before a face to face meeting. especially when there is the assumption people are not just talking to one person

In some cases yes before meeting I brought it up. Not because I wanted to marry them but to see whether it was worth it even meeting if he was just looking for sex. Several guys told me before I could ask marriage wasn't in their plans so I never met them. Kids though for me personally could go either way but no I don't bring that up right away.
So if it's a nice day what can I go out and do...................ALONE????
Most of the things it takes two people to do, are done indoors. So, unless you're riding a bicycle built for two, I'd say it's pretty normal to go out by yourself. I've shopped alone, hiked alone, dined alone, and always enjoyed myself.
The same damm annoying question by women in their 30's without kids during the 1st conversation..........."Do you want kids"
And I'm like why is this question being asked now and we don't even know if we want to meet face to face? So I guess I should just start saying.......'Of course if I find the right person and leave it at that"
Now if I say that why do I feel the next question will be......."How many kids do you want? And if that is the case I will hang up on her ear.
Even the marriage question is stupid because I thought that is a feeling that a guy gets when he is in LOVE and been in a relationship with someone over time. So why ask this damm question over the phone during the 1st conversation? I swear the dating process is so damm irritating in 2013.
It's freaking June, the beginning of the summer, this woman is childless, and she is asking do I want kids instead of
"So what are the things you like to do during the summer???
So from this point on my answer to the kids question is.........."OF COURSE I DO IF I MEET THE RIGHT WOMAN"
I'm noticing a pattern with your posts in the relationship thread.
You don't seem to like dating or women very much.
I think you should consider giving up online dating until you stop getting so frustrated.

I disagree...that's a pretty big deal breaker for many people and women do have a point where they can't have children anymore. Why would they want to waste their time dating someone who doesn't want to get married or have kids if that's what they want?
I've had men ask me if I was looking for casual dating or if I was looking for someone to eventually marry and I thought it was wonderful to be asked that question. It gets all the expectations out in the open so I didn't waste my time and neither did he.

As a man I can say I want to be married but if my financial doesn't allow me to do it then it won't happen.
You don't need other people to get you out of the house.
