 Burke, did you write a dating guide and give it to everyone that looks at my profile? |

I met this guy for coffee a few times and things were going pretty well. We had a lot in common, music especially. Then third time we met up to hang out he told me he had a kid. Mind you, we're the same age and I was just so thrown off because he's got a 9/10 year old daughter. And he asked if that was okay and immediately I was like, 'pffft it's fineeee' and in my head I was scolding myself like, no, no you bring those words back inside your mouth sir. I definitely put a lot of emphasis on being friends before dating and everything has just been a whirlwind and I don't even know what to do nor do I know how I feel about it (besides weird). Like is this a normal thing the older you get as you date? I've never dated anyone with a kid before. I keep telling myself to move to the Swiss alps and into a convent and become a nun.  The Mr. Krabs meme summarizes how I feel actually |

Oh Astro. It's up to you. Can you commit to parenthood?
Jokes. To be fair the kid is old enough now that you won't be impacted them from a young age in the way you would were they younger and obvs if you were to get serious. Still, I can't relate.
Go ahead with it some more and see how things play out.
I'm in the same situation I end up in every six months in that I've been dating and chatting to three guys, all with various different attributes and flaws.
Invariably I'll end up with none again.

Oh that really does make me feel better, I didn't look at it that way. I just kept thinking how I'm too immature to be anything close to a parental figure, not that it's assumed I'd be

I've dated several single dads and have found them to be pretty easy to get on with. The two that I actually hung out with the kids were surprisingly easy. He's likely not looking for you to be a second parent. From my experience I just got to be in the friend role. We hung out at parks and I happily had no say in discipline or actual adult shit. Tbh it's like being the fun aunt/uncle.

I was just trying to innocently harass and bully Burke on Facebook messenger when all of a sudden I'm bombarded with this:  He's married, fyi. |

Well if you were gay and had a type it would certainly be "white thug boy."

To be fair, I've never seen proof that you're not married, Burke.
Also, I totally did think that was you. I was so excited for you to finally admit to your true feelings.

Whew, Lordt. Every now and then these apps come through and remind me why I go through the struggle that is the other 98% of the time. I just had the best dick appointment of my life with a 46 year old Venezuelan business man in his hotel room.  EDIT: Suddenly, Paige throwing her WWE career away to chase Alberto makes a lot more sense to me.  |

I talked to this guy for a week, and we were literally talking all day, everyday and having the most compatible back and forth conversation. We're the same age and had so much in common, and yesterday we met for a first date and he lived up to all of my expectations and then some, and we were being so flirty and even talking about future dates. Fast forward to just a couple of hours later when I get home, and he tells me that he fucked up and needs us to start over because he has a boyfriend.  He said they sometimes have threesomes which is why he was on Grindr, but then he ended up liking me which was why he didn't tell me and went out with me. I mean, we only talked for a week so it's not as if I had serious feelings for him or anything, but it was definitely disappointing because especially after yesterday I was like, whoa, this might actually have potential, because up until that plot twist he was everything I'm looking for in a guy. But honestly, I wasn't mad or sad or even that upset with him, because I knew it was too good to be true, and all I could really do is chuckle I feel like God got bored and decided to troll me, because life basically dangled this perfect guy in front of me and then was like lol jk. |

I've decided to only sleep with people I don't like because hate sex is better anyway.
