I think of it as quite a conundrum as a (relatively) young male in the Wide World of Dating when it comes to women (around our age) that already have a child. I mean, should that be an instant turn-off or would that be too juvenile of a take on it? It's probably true that the concept of taking care of another man's child doesn't sit well with others.
My original take on it was always an emphatic no, but what if the person really is a good person (not necessarily like the OP's lady friend... acting all irresponsibly)? Should a past transgression really be held against them?
I don't know what to think about a teen who can't handle the simple concept of "don't be a fool wrap your tool" (or when it comes to women, those who don't check

). Seems like there are too many people who need 10cc's of abstinence stat! Like this one girl who was interested in me... she was about to have her
third child and she's only 21! 'cause of that, she talked about getting the plumbing reworked (if you catch my drift)... personally if I were to get into a marriage where kids were involved, I'd at least like one to be mine
