[quote=Anonymous]I may be in the minority, but it seems to me that in this case, the onus does not lie on OP to have disclosed ahead of this date that she has a kid, since this guy asked her out without finding out much about her--and its not like she is 23 and having a child would be unusual or unexpected.

That being said, yes it is definitely something that should be said at the first date. But if I asked out someone I worked with based on a few interactions I would not expect them to tell me their entire life story ahead of time. I would also find it kind of presumptuous that someone was listing possible dealbreakers before going on what I would consider a very casual date.

OP, go on the date, and mention your kid and go from there. I agree with others that you seem to blame having a child as a liability--it may have been in your mid 30s, dating men who are the same age, but as you get older you will find that it is less of a barrier--and you really dont want to date someone who is not okay with it!
