"I have a kid" is basic, first-date material. -- nm - nubby May 13, 13:19 5
- Depends....I think definetly before four months but does not have to be first date... - Walt_Disney May 13, 13:25
- I have a cousin with a kid from his first wife, who ran away with her and said if he tried to contact her - Max May 13, 13:21 1
  - whoa, grammar: "a cousin who has a daughter..." -- nm - Max May 13, 13:24
- Agreed. It could potentially be a dealbreaker. nm - Dignan May 13, 13:21
- Yeah, too many lies of omission (if not outright) to cover it up. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:20
i think it would depend on where they are relationship-wise. 4 months could either be still new-ish, or practically engaged for some people - Andie May 13, 13:17 5
- yeah this. I assume they're casual because otherwise he's a jerk. -- nm - amanda jones May 13, 13:22
- If they were exclusive, he should have told. As a parent, part of you and your heart belongs to your kid. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:18 3
  - Not all parents might feel that way. -- nm - Amy May 13, 13:20 2
    - Sounds like prime dating material. then. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:21 1
      - She doesn't even really know if he sees the child much at all. You need to chill. -- nm - Amy May 13, 13:23
right? I don't bring it up right away. also, maybe he want that into her: introducing a child to a partner is a big deal. - amanda jones May 13, 13:13 3
- Intro? We are talking about the fact of existence, here. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:17
- You have a kid? -- nm - crash davis May 13, 13:16 1
  - you didn't know this? whatever, crash. we've only been dating 10 years. it's no big. nm - amanda jones May 13, 13:23
