[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Ugh I agree I think junior high age is the worst age. High school - not really a huge deal because I feel we could just date for a few years and then wait to live together until they are off at college. If they were littler, maybe we'd bond better. But the idea of waiting to live together for full time is hard. And I agree I feel like kids who've gone through divorce etc ideally should not also have to deal with having to adjust to having their dad's new wife living with them and wanting to change things around the house. But then all those people who said the pool of normal men in their forties without kids is small? They are right. Maybe if I don't keep dating this guy, I will try to date guys whose kids are at least juniors in high school.

Sigh. He's nice though. He's really sweet to me. And he pays lots of attention to me. He sees me every night he doesn't have custody and he calls me every day he does not see me. [/quote]

I’m a mom of older high school teenagers but the guy I’m dating has one in middle school and one in elementary.  We see each other when we can.  I think it’s easier for me than it would be for you, as I also have limitations on my time due to custody schedules.  I’ve met his kids many times but it’s just to hang out for a few hours, game night or grab a meal.  No overnights and no PDA in front of them. To them I’m just his buddy.  Maybe you could start there with your guy.

As for dating guys with older teenagers, be prepared to date some older guys.  I’m 45 and I find most guys with older teenagers in my area are closer to 50.  [/quote]
