My faith has been restored in online dating

[emma245]

I had the BEST time on my date last night. He was a great, down to earth, fun and totally awesome guy and CUTE! I literally really really like him.

The only semi issue and its not even really an issue is that he has a 18 year old son. Hes 38. Im not bothered by that but hes not sure if we wants anymore kids as he basically just finished raising one. How many more dates should I go on? I feel like thats a deal breaker to me but I really really like him.....

Okay but NOT SURE and SURE are two different things.

And don't give up hope in online dating...I've had several nice dates with normal guys.

glad you had fun, don't worry about how many dates. Just go on the next one. You can only take one date at a time!

Yay!!! I'm so excited for you. I'd for sure go on another date and broach the kids situation later on down the line.

Didja kiss him?

Um yes, we made out ALOT. That was it though. He was super good and was kind of acting like my boyfriend all night. He even gave me a kiss on the forehead when he left this morning. ( I let him sleep over because we had been drinking)

Hurray!!! I'm glad you had fun!

Wow.. that seems a bit unsafe to me. You just met this person off the internet and you let him into your home? I would be really careful about this in the future..it's basically exactly what you are not supposed to do.

ITA. And you were drinking with him.

Glad you had fun, emma....but be safe, k?

Honestly I felt totally fine and safe. People have one night stands all the time. I figured it was safer than putting a drunk person on the road

You are correct and we are idiots too. I just want you to be safe so I hope next time you meet someone you meet in a public place and don't drink so much.

ETA: I hope you don't think I am coming down on you. Considering I brought someone home this past weekend that would be a little the pot calling the kettle black, eh? I just don't know how experienced you are with dating and I just want you to be safe...mmkay?

First of all...YAY FOR EMMA!! DOn't you have another date tonight or am I making that up?

Second....Oh, I'm not one to judge you on the sleepover part. I consider myself a pretty cautious person and I did this over the summer. We had been drinking, I slept over and felt just fine with it. He was a lawyer anyways (who I googled to no end), so I figure that was "safer" for some reason? I think you're a grown up and I trust you made the right decision for you.

I totally agree. High five Emma!

Sounds like fun, I hope it continues to go good, as far as him not wanting kids, I think you can go on a few more dates before deciding if that is a deal breaker, you might not want to end up with him forever, way too soon to tell IMO. I'm happy for you!

Yay for a great date!
