[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm divorced and share custody of a 5yo son.  I try not talking about him on first dates, because they should be about whether I have a connection with the other person, and not him.  But I often find it tough to avoid it, because even simple questions like, why do you live in __ , and what did you this/last weekend, often have a significant kid component (e.g., I live where I do for the schools).  I don't want to hide him - and love my time with him --  but really think this is a better topic once I've developed an attraction/interest in someone.  I was wondering if others in the same boat had any advice.  Thanks in advance.[/quote]

Would you rather have someone dump you because he doesn't want to be with someone with a child after you've gotten emotionally attached? It kind of feels like you're holding back on disclosing this because you're afraid of being rejected because you have a child and want them to hook the person person, but that's really not how it works. Don't waste your time on people who will be turned off by his presence in your life.[/quote]
