[quote=Anonymous]As a recently separated male, I have faced this same dilemma and I used the exact same logic in making a decision to not tell a date (met online) that I had kids and was recently separated. I wanted to go out, just escape what I was going through and have fun with another adult with just me - well 30% of me. At the time I realized that it was selfish and misleading not to disclose everything but I did want/need the ego boost. A female friend of mine said that, back in the day (pre-Google/Facebook) when you met someone in a bar, grocery store, work conference etc. you didn't have your life's history plastered all over the place so people had a chance to get to know the individual first. It was horrible advice, although I suspect she was just trying to encourage me to go out there.

Anyway, the date went great. I had a great time, she had a great time....and I feel like a total *SS. Definitely disclose it beforehand, if the date wasn't going to happen due to anything that is a part of you, you'll just potentially hurt someone else and feel worse about yourself.[/quote]
