[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the thing, I don't want to just date. Like most people, I see myself in a long-term monogamous relationship that is fulfilling.

Unfortunately most women in my date range (+/-10 years) either have kids or want them. So sometimes it feels isolated and like I might lose out on a potentially solid partner just because of this.

I can give or take on the question of marriage although I see no point of legalizing a relationship if there are no plans for bringing kids into the world.

However, is it wise or fair to compromise on something so serious as having kids? Regrets further on, or will I suddenly have an epiphany once they arrive?

If you don't want to have children, you should be upfront without your potential partners.  There is nothing more crushing to a woman than to find out that her DH doesn't want children AFTER marriage.  My DH stalled on having DC2, and I would have divorced him for that. Luckily for him, he came back to his senses.

There is nothing wrong with a marriage or long-term partnership where both partners do not want children.  You should be aware, however, that it would limit your pool of women because most of us do want to procreate. [/quote]
