In response to "I didnt mind. They are freaking smart - its kind of intimidating - remind me of my daughter a lot -- nm" by Capstern

1) you don't have a daughter. 2) I'm not talking about whether or not you mind. I'm talking about the untested staying power of the relationship.

after two months, who knows where it's going? unless the mom brings home random dudes a lot, it's got to be confusing to the 9 year old. even if she doesn't being home random dudes, the 15 year old is going to be suspicious of you until you've proven that you're sticking around without being in her face.

when you date someone with kids, the rules are different. it's not about you.

        The fact that he is going to ask the mom really makes it look like he is just doing whatever he can to be in there. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 9, 12:18 5
