Is it wise to date a girl who has kids?

[Bluejaye]

The fact that you're asking this question makes me think you've already decided no and are here looking for support in your decision or someone to bitch about when you have second thoughts.
"Those bastards on Freeones fucked that up for me, that'll be the last time I ask them anything".

It's your decision, stop asking people you don't know, who don't know you and don't know the woman in question to make it for you.

You make it, it's your life. You're the one who will have to live with any consequences good or bad.

I think it really depends on the age of the woman and her kids. If the kids are young, I'd stay away. If they are older, they won't be around much longer before they (hopefully) move out so go for it if you really like her. Plenty of examples on this board of women 30+ and 40+ with bodies with a lot of miles left on the clock, and I'm sure some of them are even pleasant to talk to.

I'm failing to discern the intense complexity here. So what if she has kids? If you like her, date her. If you want to keep seeing her you'll soon meet her kids. If you tend to get along well with kids that will likely be enjoyable. If you tend to like some private time AWAY from the woman you're hanging out with (and who the fuck doesn't???) you've got a built in escape hatch. If it all works out in the end You Might become a happy, functional family. If it doesn't, well no harm done and no recriminations - at least you tried.

But do NOT (from Jerry Maguire) just go into this to shoplift the pootie. That's cruel and uncool. Make an real effort at an attachment - or just pass altogether.

I can tell you from experience that you should avoid something like that. Just a way too complicated situation.
