This may sound very superficial at first so I hope you'll bear with me.
I went out on Saturday, by myself as my friend let me down at the last minute, and decided that as I had a babysitter I would take myself off to the cinema and then maybe for a quick drink. Well, I had a blast, and since I was on my own I had to talk to people, so i had a lot more confidence than I normally do. I met a lovely lovely man and had a fantastic time with him and his friends, but at the end of the night I left without giving him my number. And the silly thing is, it was because I thought once he knew I had children he wouldn't be interested I am kicking and kicking myself many times over. I have 2 dc and am 26 and have had a rough couple of years tbh and this is the first time I have been interested in anyone since exdp left. I so wish I could turn back the clock and just give the guy my number! He was lovely, wanted to take me to dinner, intelligent, gorgeous
So in future, when does it come up that you have got dc? I am feeling cross that maybe I should have mentioned it before I became very aware that I hadn't mentioned it iyswim? If he had taken me to dinner no doubt it would have come up then, but gahhhh. Please be gentle with me, my exdp was a bit of an arse and am only just getting my confidence back
