[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it's a bit forward; I also see why they want to know.  But it seems like there are nicer / better ways to phrase it...(All from the same relationship? Do they all have the same father?) [/quote]

Op
Can avoid all that by telling them how many kids she has before the first date.  It is completely disingenuous to tell someone you have four kids on a first date.  Waste of everyone’s time.[/quote]

I am not meeting the men online, so they aren't reading a profile. I meet men the old fashioned way--in person. The guy from today pulled up on me in a parking lot on Tuesday and asked for my number. We went out to lunch today after several back and forth text messages.

Should I have told him in the parking lot that I have 4 kids? [/b]I don't view my kids as a detriment or a dirty secret so having them works its way into the conversation organically and within the first conversation. Geesh[/quote]

No, you probably should not have gone out with a stranger who pulled up and propositioned you in a parking lot.

Don't you remember Silence of the Lambs?

Sheesh.[/quote]

Meeting someone online isnt dangerous?[/quote]

Well, a middle aged mom of 4 picking up strange guys in parking lots kind of lends itself to a certain type of "catch."[/quote]

Are you male or female? I ask because having guys hit on you wherever is pretty much the norm. Would it have been any different if he had done it in the produce section of the grocery store or at the bar?? Funny how what used to be normal is now viewed as abnormal, and what used to seem weird (online dating) is now the norm.

Doesn’t mean you have to date them.  I get hit on all the time at gas stations.  PITA.  You don’t have to give them your number just because they ask.[/quote]

I know this and I rarely do, but I wanted to this time. I don't see anything wrong with exchanging numbers with someone if they catch your attention. Him being in his car in the parking lot is irrelevant[/quote]

Yes but springing four kids on a first date is rude.  I don’t date men with kids or married men so I would be pretty pissed if some guy did not bother to tell me this kind of info prior to the date.[/quote]

Yes but I bet you wouldn't ask if how many baby momma he had. Four kids is enough of a deal breaker for most people if they are looking for more than a hit and run.[/quote]
