I think your "free spirited" boyfriend's parenting instincts will kick in as soon as you have the baby. Or maybe not.
I dunno, you might run into those uber-religious or a femi-nazi who might think all forms of flirting are sexual harassment.
what I am about to say, may not be popular. But i have been lurking and watching this thread for for too long. When I met my husband, for the first time, I was 8 weeks pregnant, and I had an 1 1/2 year old daughter. I was looking for someone not to raise my kids for me, but bc I truly believed in my heart that I needed and wanted someone to be there to love me!! I went through a couple of guys and first dates, where as soon as I told them, they ran for the hills. Doesnt make them bad, it just wasnt what they could handle. Then I met my now husband. I told him upfront, I am pregnant, not only do I have a child already but I am going to. and guess what, He didnt run. HE actually told me he had no problem with it. We talked for hours, and he met my daughte,r and my daughter instantly liked him, and she is super picky about people, so that was a good sign. WE dated for quite a bit before I moved in, and then an year later he proposed, and almost an year later we got married. Now we have been together almost 3 years, and my kids he treats like his own. Not all women that are pregnant want to get horny, or are bad in my opinion for wanting an relationship. They are human just like the rest of us. I was an single mom for quite awhile before I met my husband, and it was super hard! so I have no judgement, and bc I did wait a bit , and then didnt give up just bc I was pregnant, I have a great husband, who loves me, and cares for me more than any of their bio dads never did. just my 2 cents. take it with a grain of salt. but My experience is different than most.
maybe you're not being creepy, but i've been here a long time and when someone who just joined and has almost no posts starts calling a strange woman from the internet "sweety" and pming her because she complained about having trouble finding a man, 99.9% of the time they're creeps. if nothing else, you're kind of an asshole for calling me creepy just because i noticed that you were exhibiting genuine creep behavior. but i'm a nice guy so i'll let it slide.
To be fair, undies, you kinda creep me out. But you can creep all you want, bay-beh, you know how I like it.
Don't you think the two things complement each other? What is the point of making those statements if you don't attract a creep that you proceed to reject, thus making yourself feel superior to all of manhood, and do it all over again in never-ending sweeping circles? Edit: A creep magnet will never go for a nice guy like you, Undie. You would shatter her dreams of superiority!
In my point of view, as a single male in his mid 20s. One significant factor that would push me away from dating a pregnant girl or a mother with kids, is the fact that many kids stereotypically deliberately disobey their mother's boyfriends and father's girlfriends. They say shit like "I don't have to listen to you! You're not my real dad!" Maybe I'm just not a kid person. And I have limited experience around them.
NSA sex with horny pregnant girl? Works for me. Date? FUCK no. If you really just got knocked up, ditched the soon-to-be dad, and your biggest complaint is that no one wants to date you..... wait, fucking WHAT? You fuckin' better not be expecting child support from him, 's all I got to say.
i havent read this whole thread so forgive me if its been said, but i think dating shouldnt be somthing to concern yourself with at this point in your life. i would never date a pregnant woman because she obviously hasnt passed through all the transitions and stabalized yet with her new role in life, stepping into her space as she undergoes that process is a disaster waiting to happen. imo your inviting disaster. i would think your energy would be better spent working on yourself and further preparing the way to welcome your child. edit: ya i guess it has been said a few times here
you may well be on to something. I'm all of those things sweety.I sent you something in your mail box.How've you been?
I was going to have something to say about that buuuttt... : THANK you! you're a doll! it's not like i need help raising this baby, I'm tired of waiting, i can't wait to have this baby. I'm so excited to be a mom, I've always felt that I was meant to be a great mom and now I'm going to get to! um...... WHAT??? what the HELL is your problem? you have no idea what my situation is obviously, I didn't just "get knocked up and ditch him" I tried to get it to work with him but he REFUSED to grow up or to stop drinking, as soon as I got pregnant he immediately (and very childishly) felt the need to prove i was wrong and he was right about everything and that he did not in any way shape or from need or WANT to GROW UP because he thought his ways were fine as they were.... if he raised this child on his own god KNOWS what would happen... I LEFT HIM for a reason! AND if he wishes to be in the child's life, he can, and I can be civil with him... but I most certainly DO expect him to pay child support, he was left because he was being a childish, self centered asshole and even came to my friends house DRUNK and went into the other room (i was there at the time) and had a "chat" with our friend... and actually said he was going to "ditch her of course" because it "wasn't working out" in other words he didn't want to hear that he needed to grow up and be a man because he has a baby on the way, so he was going to run away from it... SO then when i left to go home and be with my friends and family... THAT'S when he felt bad! so EXCUSE ME be you have no idea what you're talking about... everyone else... yeah... most guys are assholes, gay, taken, or total friggin creeps.
i'd just claim ignorance? OBVIOUS CLEVER BASTARD - "you're pregnant." YOU - "no." OBVIOUS CLEVER BASTARD - "you're water just broke..." YOU - "no."
Yeah... Guys are creeps, but it's just fine of you to get knocked up with someone you (apparently) hardly knew and then walk out.... AND then expect his money. He sounds like a douche. And you sound like a nightmare waiting to happen to some nice well meaning guy.
