Would you go out with a man who has kids when you have none?

I met this guy who is about 3 years older than me and I really like him a lot and he likes me. We can talk to each other and the more we talk to one another, we get comfortable with each other. He is a true gentleman when we go out. The only thing is that he has a 7 year old daughter with another woman. I have no kids. His daughter's ok, but sometimes I wonder if she likes me and it kinda keeps me back from getting a little closer to him. I never would have thought I would end up with someone who has a kid even though I love kids. He gets along with mom and she likes him, my father does not approve of him for the "kid" reason out of some. Should I still be around him or should I leave him alone?

If you like the guy and treat the daughter right things will work out fine. The fact that this guy has a child shouldn't make any differance, his character is what you should be judging. If you can love that child like she is yours then continue, if not end the relationship now. Your main concern should be that of the daughter, if its not...you shouldn't be in this relationship. Take care

If you like him then I see no reason why you should no longer see him just because he has a "kid". Actually isn't it wonderful that he did not keep you from knowing that he already got a kid in the first place? For me honesty is a good sign, he admitted he had a kid and you accepted that fact. Just because your father doesn't like him doesn't mean you should no longer be with him. Remember it is you who decides who you want to be with and not anyone else because you are the one who will spend everyday of your life with the person you chose to be with.
