I'm perplexed. How is this coming up so soon on a date? I can see disclosing generalities, but not specifics.

I am referring to the fact they do not have money, are strapped for cash and can't actually afford to date.

Oh they tell this stuff through text or on the phone before even scheduling dates.

I had a guy tell me last night his exact car payment, his salary, that he has been married three times already, sexually molested as a teen, has been suicidal and in a state institution several times.

So yes, I generally find they tell me way to much information.

Well, at least he warned you upfront so you can take a pass. Though he doesn't necessarily have money problems, but problem problems.

Agreed. I am passing on him. His money issues were the least of the problems.

Has "Sugar Daddy" been mentioned ? Not read the whole thread.

Well at least they aren't on welfare when they don't need to be. That is preferable to what you're doing.

1. You are broke. You can't support your kids, so you are on public assistance.

2. You have you kids all the time because it sounds like dad(s) are not in their life.

3. The number of their kids plus my kids, equals way to many kids for any sane person to deal with. . . . perhaps you should have thought about this as you were having them.

Why don't you get alimony/child support? Much preferable (to the rest of us) than food stamps and Medicaid.

I agree!
Op , You need to be financially stable before you get into a serious relationship.
You are calling the kettle black when you are broke.
You need to focus on your children and providing for them not on dating.

I am not broke. I get assistance because I qualify for it.

I had two kids because that is the number I felt completed my family. Unfortunately my sons father decided he did not want to remain part of said family.

I have tried to collect child support. Just because I say I want it, does not mean it will magically appear.
