[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Op makes a decent living, he just has obligations that reduce his standard of living.  To my way of thinking, the Op does have his act together.  He's a man of integrity who works hard to support his children.

There are plenty of free or low cost things to do in the area.  There's no need to blow $$$$$.  And any woman who would expect the Op to spend a lot of money on a date is probably not going to be feasible relationship material anyway.  [/quote]

I agree about the dating costs but this goes much deeper than that. OP is in a position where he cannot really be a full financial partner to anyone because he has child support obligations. So OP really does have to think about what he is expecting out of a relationship and what kind of partner he can reasonably be. It is not reasonable, for example, for him to date women that want to get married and have more kids. He cannot afford more kids. The suggestion of dating other single parents may make the most sense as long as that parent accepts his limited ability to contribute financially. [/quote]
