I just wanted to say a couple of things about some of the comments here.
It is almost impossible to find a woman in her 30’s or my age that doesn’t have kids or has been married before. If they haven’t, sometimes they are the most out there people. I know, my former sister-in-law was like that. I have 2 boys that are 13 and 11. Any woman who might want a relationship with me will have to get use to them too.

Secondly, I am courteous to whomever I am trying to get to know. I am not pushy because I have kids and I know the commitment that is involved in that. As for The Ruminant saying that I need to control my temper and be cool. I didn’t know I was anger in the first place. It has been 22 years since I dated so online dating is a little odd to me. What is the point of me getting upset at people that I don’t really know, and that are just trying to possibly start a relationship with someone new ?

Thirdly, to Inky. What does this woman have to be ashamed of? Wanting to have love in her life? Sure there are a lot of strange people out there. Many are just on there to use and dump the people that they contact, without a second thought about what they are doing. But,
there are people out there that want to build a real relationship and respect the person they are with.

My sister’s marriage ended and my niece was about 14 months old. She started seeing someone when my niece was about a year and a half. Fifteen years later, they are still together, and married for 13 of them. There is no perfect world scenario, it’s just how you treat the one you are in. I would never try to pressure someone into part time parenting their child. My ex has put several men ahead of time with our boys and they resent her for it. I wouldn’t do that to someone.

Lastly, Jade you gave me the best advice. I know it’s just dating and nothing is set until the two people decide it is set between them. Eventually, something will come together and that connection will be there. I never had the intention to force it. That wouldn’t work.
Thanks
