Would you admit you have a child on the first date?

If he's "turned off" because you have a child, he's not the right guy for you. Plus, how awesome will it be when he smiles at you and says, that's great, I love kids! I say drop it in conversation. Like a pp said, you're not confessing to a crime

How did the date go?

Admit before the date and save him some money.

I would absolutely tell him the first time I meet him. We come as a package deal, and I'm proud of my kids.

This.

It was on my profile. And I mentioned it if I met someone in person who seemed interesting. My now DH told me he had a son before he asked me out romantically. We were acquaintances for a couple months and then became friends before dating.

I have in the past, if it comes up naturally. I'm 45, so at that age, it's not unusual to have a child. (or an ex.) I definitely don't hide the fact that I have a child.

If he freaks out, he's clearly not the guy for you.

Try to casually slip this into conversations from now on. It's strange you don't anyway.

Should never disclose any personal information for at least 6 months. Keeps things interesting.

Of course and before the first date. Some people don't want to date or be in a relationship with someone with a kid(s).

Wow, you don't know when to quit, do you? Why don't you go tend to/advocate for your own baggage
