[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I actually was asking for advice on what 11:40 was discussing.  I do mention my son on or before the first date.  I just don't want to dwell on him (a) because the date -- especially a first one -- should not be primarily about him and (b) I find that it can ruin the chemistry, if I talk about him too much.  So my question was about tips for not talking about him too much, as I sometimes find myself doing that.  I fully agree we're a package deal, but in an early date, I primarily want to see if there is any possibility of a connection.  (Fwiw, I'm a single dad, not a single mom.)[/quote]

Well, what else do you have to talk about? Do you have any hobbies? Are you into a particular kind of music or books? The key to finding ways not to talk about him too much is to have other things in your life you can talk about as well that you're also engaged by and enthusiastic about. If you don't have anything like that, perhaps it would be good to find something, dating or not.[/quote]
