No reason you can't continue to date, just keep to the standards you seem to have and you will be okay. Dumping this guy was the right choice and you made it because you did the right thing. I suggest you just change the questions that you ask people your getting to know before it gets to the dating stage. My questions included child raising scenarios, since I have kids, it is an important thing since they will be in my life for life no matter what the age. If they can't deal with me in there lives, well, nice talking to you. And, the update you added regarding his phone calls, this guy seems to be a controlling person and you surely don't want that in your life. Seriously, don't stop dating because of one bad seed, this guy is nothing like most of us out there that will surely understand your commitment with your children and be glad to share your life with them when the time is right ("when the time is right") and one date is not the right time for sure. I did not tell my kids even the names of the women I dated, heck, I didn't even tell them every date I went on. When the relationship got serious, that is when getting to know my kids and letting my kids know about the girl I am dating came into play. They don't need to get to know women that might not stick around long, it can only confuse things for them. It was hard enough on them over the divorce never mind tramping alot or different women in there lives after.

Please dump this guy, this is just not right in so many ways. I put a reponse in your post, this one really got me. Please say your going to dump him, he will be no good for you, your life or your kids, now or in the future.
