[quote=Anonymous]I once went two dates with a *separated* guy with three young kids who wanted our third date to be an activity with said children. I ended the relationship.

At 35, OP, its likely that you will meet people with kids. I personally dont think 3 months in is too early for a casual intro, like let's grab lunch together, but its early to introduce you as a partner/girlfriend. I do echo others in caution: I did marry someone, later, with a child, and we have kids of our own together as well. Let me just say that parenting is no picnic but its much harder being a step. And, there are no guarantees. I was naive about my spouse's kids issues and how profoundly we would all be impacted by them.  Learn about the child, about the relationship with the ex, etc. But i went from being a highly independent, educated professional with little baggage (no kids, no divorces, financially secure, stable family) to suddenly having lots of baggage, ongoing drama, high medical expenses etc. [/quote]
