Erin, What would you say if you finally got your “THE ONE” and later in life after you got 3 kids and find out that “THE ONE” is not “the one” afterall. with 3 kids how will you feel if another dozen “THE ONES” do not consider you qualified because you got 3 kids?

Although I will say this- whenever I see a guy walking a tiny dog, I know instantly that he's taken. True. Very true.

It's the same principle as with a guy and his dog (even better if it's a puppy). Babes go wild for guys wielding around babies or dogs! Oops. Was that very un-P.C.? =) That is true, Julie.

Oops. Was that very un-P.C.? =)

On the other side, I am in the situations when most of my friends have gone traisping off to marry-marry land. Hmm, not much to do about that, but i am enjoying my singleness as well as waiting for THE ONE as well. * I don't smoke. ** I am nifty on AIM *** No kids here. **** I live in the DC area... even better! Best of luck to you, Erin. :) Well… very well written. On the other side, I am in the situations when most of my friends have gone traisping off to marry-marry land.

I do admit that dating and kids is quite complicated on many levels, I still do advise to tread lightly and make sure you know what you are dealing with. However at the same time, if you focus on the person, you'll know whether to take the chance, kids or not.Is this really any different than someone that has "baggage" which really comes in many shapes and forms nowadays.

This is just opening a can of worms that I'd like not to get involved with. Call me shallow but I'd rather date/marry someone who is free of children.

I know a lot of people who'd be running for the hills upon finding out a new date has kids. "Baggage," is usually what many people think. Do you consider yourself lucky tho?
