i dated a girl with a kid once it worked out ok but she wasnt over her ex and right now the girl ive been with for almost 2 years has her godson living with her and a little girl that she adopted. i have no problem with it because the boy has no father since he passed away and the little girl has no parents, it all depends on the person you are and how close you are to the kids. most people think it can be a bad thing dating someone with a kid but in reality a lot that ive known have grown up and the guys that they are with that arent the dads dont mind and there very happy together.
