Wonder who did it.

yes, really. I have only had one experience dating someone for a year with kids. It was a disaster in the end when I found out he had been lying all along. This keeps me from taking another chance with someone else who already has kids.

Depends on how old the kids are. You aren't suppose to replace their mom. I think after a respectable amount of time (say 2 years) you should be able to be considered an authority figure towards his kids. You shouldn't necessarily have to raise them, but I believe you should help in guiding them.

I love this site. the people are awesome and I've made some great friends

welcome

cute.

Girl I am right there with you. He didn't have the balls to tell me so he made a post on facebook about how he loves being single! That and I finally have all the pieces to know that he really did cheat on me while he was in another state.

so anyway ...

single.

I prefer not to call them "nice" guys. I like the term "real" men better. My opinion of a nice guy is someone who's too needy, clingy, etc because that is what nice guys have been to me in the past.

I don't think it is too soon to date, but really only you know the answer to that question. Are you ready to move on? Have you dealt with the divorce and all the emotions that come from it?

You are good looking.

Being a single dad has advantages and disadvantages. As an advantage, I see that as an awesome thing. It shows you aren't a dead beat dad. However, in my experiences, I have also found that men who already have children are most likely to not want anymore children with anyone else. That is a factor that would personally scare me off. Even though I am upfront with men right from the beginning, it doesn't keep them from lying. If their wants are the same as yours, they win until the girl discovers the ugly truth about them not really wanting more children in the first place yet they lied. But for the most part, being a single dad isn't a turnoff.

I curl up in my bed, throw the blankets over my head and find a way to go to sleep (usually this has been applied to major storms only as I haven't had any other reason to be scared)

It's not so much pain as wanting to not be the black sheep of my immediate family. I realize my whole family is nothing but sarcasm and criticism, but the immediate family is downright harsh a lot of the times. My uncles accepted their kids for how they dress (they all dress punkish/rockerish/semi gothic even the girls) I like to understand things is all.

My point exactly. I've just heard it one too many times growing up .. that I should be normal. Truth be told, when I was a teen, I didn't care what people thought of me. I dressed so unlike everyone else, and I didn't care. So I'm wondering why I changed that outlook and suddenly cared what they had to think. Maybe I'm just not as anger and rebellious as I was then

Had one of those. took me 1.5 years to get rid of him

wait, wait, Wait! There's a fine line between nutty and crazy. I'm just crazy. Not insane or nutty. Crazy. and i don't hate cigs. I'm trying to quit! still ..

no .. lets not

STOP MOCKING ME! ha ha i'm ok

stop thinking so much. i smell smoke.

more nicotine. Got it

HMMhmm .. Yes I did

It doesn't irritate me. If I see someone using it now I'm just gonna ask "who do you think you are ... newark guy? I don't think so"

stop whining little boy y man up
