See Alexi ALL single parents arent bad...some of us are kinda cool. I think everyone has the right to their own thoughts on dating someone who has kids. Everyone is different. And youre right about thinking something and finding out different later on-guess that happens in almost any given situation until you live it.
You did handle it well-shes probably guessing youre a nice guy but wont call. Most women at that age with 3 or even 2 children are VERY insecure. But ya never know til you get to know the person. No one I dated had a problem with it. Even when my son was younger.
But let me throw this into the mix-for myself I dont want to date someone or marry someone for the sake of my son to have a father. Hes got me. Never needed a man for it-doing fine on my own. And I make that clear to anyone Ive dated in the past. I dont expect that person to become instant dad nor would I really want it anyway. Be a role model yes-dad well not now in this stage of his life. I do know people who are single moms and some have the mentality that thats what they need in their life-WRONG!! (at least in my own opinion).
So while youre just hanging out with her-get to know her(cause youre not doing anything wrong Alexi-youre NOT cheating here) and see what shes looking for out of life and or a partner. That may give you some indication what kind of person she is right now. 24 with 3 kids damn-dont envy her. Ive got a friend whose 35 with 3 too and shes having a hell of a time finding a man interested in her situation. Not many would be I guess. But ya never know...maybe there are men who cant have children and want to date someone with kids...could be?
Who the hell knows...everyone is different in their thinking and then their experiences.
But you bring a point to it all-never know til ya try!!!
