I did the dating thing, which lead to awkward conversation, which usually lead to me having to defend myself or hearing the guy express shock that there are women who *gasp!* "actually don't want kids?!" Every person I dated, eventually the conversation got around to kids, which lead to me not seeing the guy again.
After throwing my hands up and saying "oh f* it. I give up" I started hanging out with a guy from work. Took a couple of months to realize "hey, we're dating, aren't we?" another 6 months to realize "wow, I think I want to spend my life with you," THEN the kid conversation arose. In all the years knowing one another at work, then socializing, then dating, then becoming committed, we never discussed kids. Weird. I brought it up, after the rings were purchased and mutual family meetings adjourned
Me: "umm, there's one thing I think we need to talk about."
Future Spouse: "kids? you want 'em?"
Me: "no."
Future Spouse: "yeah, I didn't think so. I don't want 'em either. Hey, where do you want to go on our honeymoon?"
That was in 1985. Still together; the kid thing never came up again.
I think CF people do often simply "get" that another person is CF without there having to be a long conversation about it. We simply know.
We met at a campground/bar/fireworks show on July 4th in a tiny Alaskan town basically in the middle of nowhere. Neither of us were from that town, we just happened to wind up standing next to each other, and wound up on a 4-wheeler ride up a mountain at 1am. We were Facebook friends for about 9 months, then met up again and hit it off, and I moved across the continent to his town. I don't remember when any sort of kids conversation came up, but we're on the same page. I think he could be convinced to have kids with the right woman, but I'm set against it and he's good with that. Though most of my friends do have kids, I know quite a few in their late-20s and older who aren't interested in makin' babies. They seem to find each other without much trouble. I think if your lifestyle, interests, worldview, or whatever isn't compatible with having kids you're likely to be drawn to similar people.
If only it wasn't the most worthless method of meeting women.
I'm curious-- what do you consider to be the best methods of meeting women to date?
