Do what ya heart tells you. And if she isn't on the same page with what you want throw her on the bushes.

Yeah, I never really understood the logic in that, of course, my friends often laugh at me, I have such an aversion to social/dating rituals and norms. I haven't ever had a girlfriend, in a sense like long term dated, like a regular relationship. There's a girl or two, at least one, I was in love with, but that was 10 years back, and I doubt she, or I would call ourselves 'boyfriend/girlfriend. I like just dating, and meeting new people, I don't push people to the side, I want them in my life....but this idea of 'claiming' or 'locking down', 'wifing up' is so illogical and out of sync with human nature and behavior, like they meet, go out a few times, and within a few weeks or a month are "in a relationship"....obviously there are women I would consider a long term relationship, but for me, I have to be in love, not just a 'this will work' situation. Everyday I wake up I see at least 5 women I want to pursue, date, sleep with, travel with, going through the whole ritual of being a 'couple' doesn't really interest me.....A lot of it seems really clingy and needy, from both sexes, but some of these tendencies are just ingrained in my personality.

I use to have been able to agree but now i can't. A main thing too is since we're both busy people, our times together are rare. I tried to kick it with other women but it feels like a waste of time. My feelings for her are instinctive not logic. I trust my instincts. I've never had this instinct with a woman. Even had doubts about my sons mom and that turned just how my instincts said it would. How I met took a lot of freak occurrences to take place.

I'm not trying to shyt on you, your lady or this potential relationship. Do you homie. I'm just saying that you shouldn't settle for a chick who's older than you and one who already has a kid. All I'm sayin is that you can do better :wow:

Best of luck homie, just know that there are a gang of females out there without kids/baby daddy
Y'all got the worst logic somebody is better because they younger :smh:
Y'all super superficial he could always find someone younger without a kid but that doesn't mean he will feel the same way about them or have that same connection
Y'all really objectify women it's sad

I've been waiting to get her on the phone for some time. I haven't actually spoken to her in nearly a week. Tomorrow night would make a week exactly. We've only text on and off since. She's had the flu.

it depends, there's no real set time but you should take your time and enjoy learning about each other.

Since she's on the back end of the flu now did you offer to bring soup/ginger ale/ice cream over?

She's at her dad's house so we're not at the stage of meet the parents. According to her. The issue is i'd be straight if i was working. Im a teacher and we're on break so i have ample time on my hands.
