But this guy... He seems really great, although I've learned to withhold judgement until I meet the guy in person. He mentioned that he has a son, and I asked how old he is (he's 15), and he said "I love children like crazy" (I realize that could be interpreted wrong/weirdly, but I'm pretty sure this was a completely innocent comment!). So, then I asked if he'd like to have more, and his response was... wait for it...
"I'm nuts about kids and if I could be blessed with more, I'd take all I could get however they show up. "
Now, how cool is THAT?!? I mean, I had pretty much written off dating until my future child is like, two or something, but with that answer, I may actually go out with him now! I'm not sure if he thought of EVERY possible way for a child to come into his life, i.e. a woman being not-even-pregant-yet-but-trying-to-be-with-donor-sperm-when-he-first-meets-her as an option, but hey, it counts, right?! So, maybe he actually IS that open-minded, and wouldn't be totally put off by my "situation".
Cool!
Now just remind me not to tell my mom about him, or I'll never hear the end of it...
That's great! i had a blind date shortly before my first IUI, and we never met up again. He was a nice guy (and I didn't bring up my TTC plans at all) however he didn't really like kids. At the very least, you could have an interesting date with a nice guy. Hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds really promising! Are you planning on meeting him?
ReplyDeleteI'd totally be up for meeting him, but now I haven't heard back from him... so we'll see!
