I had a date! A followup to a mysteriously closed thread.

Eddie's advice.. And you having been a round the block should know better.. But will remind you ;

1- take her ass off the pedestal.. No one is perfect for you.
2- I was 31 and married my wife when she was 20..working out great now that I'm 47 and she's fit and hot as hell. I told her once she hits 40...we'll have to talk about some changes and if she would like to be buried beside me and my current wife when she dues.
3-if I could have had children and no wife.. I think I may have seriously thought about it. I fricken enjoy my children.
4- I tell everyone.. If you don't have to live with a woman, don't. If something were to ever happen to my marriage, I'd be fricken Willie Wonka wierd bachelor. Revel in your life. Think of yourself as the most awesome perfect dude ever.. Not the other person

thanks. I'm very comfortable with my life. Great career. 2 wonderful boys. a house and a truck.

Shes not on a pedestal. I just think shes great.
Im not trying to live with her. I'm trying to take her out again.

I wear camo around the house, eat bacon for dinner, drink whenever i want, do whatever I want, and I dont have to worry about it. I do love being single. It's awesome. Shes not perfect. I think you guys are misunderstanding. I'm not some creepy stalker nor am I desperate for her because someone under 300lbs showed more interest than holding the elevator door.

Tonight, I will make bacon weave, clean my guns, play with the kids and my dog, and do whatever the hell I want. Trust me, I'm not itching to change that.
 
There's two ways I will ask someone out:
1- I tell them I am a single dad and then ask
2-I ask and then when it comes up, I tell them.

I only use number two if I am REALLY interested in a woman and I want her to get to know me and see if we connect before she finds out about kids. I mean its always comes out on the first date anyways.
You need to stick with #1, for everybody. The fact you treat them differently should tell YOU something.
She's 25. She's a kid (Yeah I get she doesn't seem like a kid to you but trust me, she's a kid). I can see someone 25 not wanting to get involved with a guy with 2 kids already. While someone open to such a relationship would be a plus in my book (for maturity's sake) it surely wouldn't be a negative if they weren't. 35? That starts to be a negative if they are equally spooked away.
Glad you had fun. I won't say I hope there's a second date because I just hope you find someone that's as right for your kids as she is for you. Odds are, a jumpy 25 year old probably isn't it.
 
Pick door #2! Oh sorry, wrong game...:)
I've been married 38 years, we date (each other, pervs:)) but I can't help ya.

BINGO! x100000.

The first thing that sounded off to me was when you said if you really like them you don't mention kids and try to get to know them first. That should be one of the first things out of your mouth, and if she's cool with it that tells you a lot about her. Unlike whenever you mentioned kids after the fact and she had to "digest the info". Even if you clicked with this chick and she was all about you there's still the kids, and that's something she needs to be cool with from the get go and not something has to warm up to the idea of.

Best of luck, if it doesn't go in your favor this time stick to #1 and you'll likely find "the right one" a lot sooner.
