I've just dating again aftermy divorce 4 years ago...I've been corresponding and talking on the phone a bit...had a few dates...and I am struggling with when do you tell them about your child's special needs? I have not been saying anything right away-guess I am trying to see if anything develops after the first meeting (which it hasn't on my side), and I also feel that information about my children is pretty private and not something to discuss immediately.
Any experience with telling before or onthe first date vs. on the second or 3rd date?
Some say I am way to up front in my profile which I edited again to tone it down but being married and knowing what it is all about I prefer being this way. Why beat around the bush? Wasting both of us our time. Here's what I have...
More About Me: |
My interests/activities change constantly according to what's happening in and around my life. The only constant is my spiritual interests and my 15 year old daughter when she is with me. Some say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? Maybe a fleshly man, but in my case, when I see you loving my youngest who has a learning disability and her bonding with you too, then at a deep level you have reached my heart. She has to know & feel she isn't losing my love & attention when you become a huge part of my life but, gaining another who loves her as much as I do. I know she will thrive in a blended family if we consider her interests from the get go and then all 3 of us, will have the rich love our hearts desire & need. So unless your heart is wide enough to include her well-being and growth; spiritually, emotionally, mentally & physically, any attempts establishing a marriage between us will be futile. |
If we want true love then we must be truthful!
