[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest - if you have kids in their teens and you get them 50% of the time, that's going to be a big hurdle in dating.

That means every other week you are essentially not available.  That may work for some women, especially if they have kids and can coordinate off weeks with yours.  Others whose kids are older may not like being restricted to every other week activity.  And if you think you will just introduce everyone (her, kids) and make it all one big happy family, think again.

Teens are notorious for not liking parents' new partners, including after a long dating period before they are even introduced.  It's just a very difficult time in life for them.  Girls may have jealousy issues against your partner, and loyalty binds for their mom which can be problematic.

You also sound like you are in the military or in a military-related field.  This may appeal to some women and to others not so much. Especially if you are active duty and the potential for change of station orders comes up.  [/quote]

Not op.  Most teens have their own social agendas and can be left alone while their parent goes out.  I don’t see it is a big hurdle. Also, if he has teens and is just starting to date I highly doubt he is looking for the big melded family at this point. Since the teens will be out of the house in 4 or less years...NBD.  As for the military issue, ITA...swipe left of military/police/FBI or anything of the like.[/quote]

Yep, pretty easy for a teen parent to date assuming the kids are active and well-adjusted. Teens are often busy with their own dates, summer jobs, sports, etc.[/quote]
