Eventually, yes he's moving back home. Funny thing is though, I've been planning on moving to the same city for the past year. So if things worked out and the timing was right that could work out really well.

I'm not understanding how this is maybe flameful? Like pp said, as long as he's a good dad to those 3 kids, go for it! Lots of women wouldn't give a father of 3 a chance, especially if she doesn't have kids herself.
yeah I'm pretty pumped about it. Like, I've had no interest in dating anyone that I've met in almost a year. I would totally be his girlfriend. Swoon. Haha.

well when I first posted about it people were making it sound like an issue. I'm really not super into kids, but I think it's just due to never having been around them much.

I think its awesome. My bf had never been into anyone with kids or dated anyone with kids before either and hes great with my DD. Its all a learning process. As long as you guys take things with the kids slow and communicate...things will prob be ok!

Oh we'd take it super slow. They live in a different state and only come out here for the summer, so unless we flew out there I wouldn't meet them for like I dunno, 9 months? Plus they are older, 9 (twins) and I think 7, so I dunno seems like in some ways it would be easier and in some ways possibly harder! haha like they're more likely to not like me. And is it weird that I'm only 16 yrs older than his oldest kids?? haha

It's all going to be in your approach to the kids and the relationship you try to build with them. And remember, kids are like dogs...they smell fear lol!

THIS IS WHAT SCARES ME lol!!! I am so terribly awkward in general, and intimidated by the whole kid thing, THEY'RE GONNA KNOW!
Luckily I have a long time before I need to worry about it haha. We have talked about it a little bit, just like in general not like "us specifically" but he is smart about it, has a general rule about how long to date a girl before introducing them to his kids, stuff like that, which is a good sign I think. And he has a good relationship with his ex-wife which is awesome.

Nope, it's not weird... I'm only 18 years older than his oldest. D's kids are older... 13, 15 and 18 and I have to say I prefer it. They're much more independent so we can actually have the opportunity to go on a date every once in a blue moon when I visit.
but really though, he is super cool and I really like him. I am super pumped. I definitely think it's possible that this could go somewhere. ITS KINDA FREAKIN ME OUT!

Thanks BK I wish other things in my life were going as well! work has me so stressed out that I can't eat and it's really not good. I feel like it makes me look like a weak crazy person but he's really sweet about it. He's really easy to talk to. It's a nice change, usually I totally fail at talking to people about anything serious.

Completely this, not flameful! Also, it's not like you have to be anyone but who you are around them just like the guy - I can tell you (from the other side I guess) that he is probably not looking for you to fill any sort of role. If it happens with the kids, just be you.
