Be honest and open. Don't hit her up if you don't want the potential of dealing with her kids in the long run. I'm sure she will be cautious about dating you. Don't act like a fool or you will get nowhere.

I (a man) have one full sibling (a brother) and my wife has a sister. We had a boy for our first kid in November. So, it happens. Good luck.

Are you wondering if cousins can date?\n\nHere is a family. Mr. A had two children, B1 and B2. \nB1 and all of his offspring had two children. B2 and all of his offspring had one child. For simplicity and space I'm not showing the spouses, either. \n\nB1 and B2 are siblings.\nChildren of siblings are first cousins. C1 and C2 are first cousins to C3.\nChildren of first cousins are second cousins. D1, D2, D3 and D4 are all second cousins to D5.\nChildren of second cousins are third cousins. E01 through E08 are all third cousins to poor, lonesome E09. E01 through E08 borrow each others' sweaters and go on double dates. E09 wishes he had a close relative.\n\nEveryone on the same level is the same degree of cousin and is in the same generation. Counting Mr. A as the first generation, the B level is the second generation, C the third and so forth. Everyone in the E level - the third cousins row - is in the fifth generation from Mr. A. He is their great-great grandfather. Most of them have a picture of him in his Civil War uniform over their mantles.\n\nSo, where does the removed business come in? When you relate cousins who are in different generations, that's when. The red line shows why C3 is E08's first cousin twice removed. If two cousins are on different levels, they are removed from each other. C2 has a grandson, E08. C2 has a first cousin, C3. The red line from E08 to C2 goes up two generation levels - where I put the short blue lines. Those are removeds. It is also a removed if you go down. If you start on D3, go left to his first cousins D1 and D2, then drop down a level to E01, E02, E03 and E04, you've reached D3's first cousins, once removed.\n\nMr. A, E01's great-great-grandfather, is four levels up from E01. Any of Mr. A's cousins would be E01's cousins too, four times removed.\n\nLets try it a different way. Look at C3. He has two first cousins, C1 and C2. His first cousins have children, D1 through D4. They are C3's first cousins once removed. (One level down.) D1 -D4's eight kids are two levels down from C3. They are C3's first cousins twice removed.\n\nTo summarize, when cousins have children, you add a degree. When you go up or down a generation level, you add a removed. \nChildren of first cousins are second cousins.\nChildren of second cousins are third cousins. \nChildren of third cousins are fourth cousins, ... \nYour father's first cousin is your first cousin once removed. \nYour grandfather's first cousin is your first cousin twice removed. \nYour great-grandfather's first cousin is your first cousin three times removed, ...\nYou can keep adding removeds and degrees: \nYour grandfather's second cousin is your second cousin twice removed. \nYour great-grandfather's third cousin is your third cousin three times removed ...

Yes I think it does. Only because of the maturity thing. When I was 19 I dated a 32 year old that had two kids. He and I had a lot of fun together, but he wanted an "instant" step mom for his kids. I on the other hand wanted him to myself and didn't want to share him with the kids. A lot of people will tell you that age doesn't matter. But I disagree with that. The differences in age groups and wants/needs/maturity levels are to wide.

No, I think it makes you stand out even more. I give you a lot of credit doing what you're doing. I would date a girl with kids, as long as the kids weren't complete Hellers.

I know how you feel...my ex stopped paying for our 3 children too.  The minute I met the man I am currently with(13 years) he stopped paying any support, luckily my new man had no problem helping me support the children.  They are now 22, 24 and 26, and they have little respect for their father, but great respect for their step dad. Any man can be a father it takes a real man to be a Dad!

there is not an exact time it changes by the type of your relationship but if you totally believe him you should met your kids with him, at the first your kids may not like him but believe me kids can sometimes adopt easilier than the adults. good luck :)

Just do it.  Do you really think you are the only one out there dating that has been married for a while and had children?  Your not, so move on.  Go out to a local club/ bar/ hangout and start there first.  Your not looking to find another spouse on your night out, you are just looking for someone to hang out with and go on a few dates with.  It'll be fun!

Well darling, while I always love to have a good time I must say my children come first. And I must say that I admire that fact that your children are very important to you too. Since our relationship is just starting out, I think it is best that we don't meet each other's kids. At least not just yet. That way, if it doesn't work out, (or I find you to be particularly creepy...vice versa), it alleviates the need for any explanations or awkward situations for either us or our children.\n\nIn the beginning, I need you to take it slow but not too slow. If you have a question or concern, don't be afraid to ask me, and I will be honest and upfront about my desires. Don't try to give me any illusions about who you are because I know about the man behind the curtain. And try not to be too controlling. I am in no hurry to jump into a strong, possessive and legally binding relationship. If that was what I wanted, I would have stayed with my Ex. I want to have fun, but I also want you to be a gentleman and treat me like a lady. Let's keep it light the first few dates, and if things go well, then we can gradually begin to include the kids. After that we can talk about expectations. For now, mutual respect is good enough for me...

Relax, it won't be easy but there are good guys out there who are interested in dating a woman like you.  When I was single, I had no problem with dating a woman who had kids.  The key is to be picky and always put your kids first.  Unfortunately there are a lot of bad people out there who will try to prey on you and your kids so don't put up with any crap and don't settle for anyone less than what your looking for.

no! go have fun! you date again when YOU are ready, not when your ex is ready or when your daughter is ready for you to date...ITS YOUR LIFE! Grab life by the horns! (thanks dodge for the catchy line)

It's going to take a special kind of guy. Most guys want to be number one in your life, and as you know, they will always be number 3 to you. That and they won't like confrontation with your ex. \nEither way, you should try to date without letting the kids meet your next guy for months. It's not healthy for the kids to get any more confused than they already will be. And you don't want them getting attached if it's not serious.

You 2 are going to have some GORGEOUS babies!\n\nYou are still dating your own race.  Last I checked people of Hispanic descent were of the human race just like Caucasians, Asians, Black...etc.

Because thay want you to think thay will make a good partner. You can hope it will last. Don't sleep with them until you are sure you want them in your child's life
