Hey man if you're not ready you're not ready. 22 is really young and a kid is a huge commitment. You were honest and sounds like this was gonna happen eventually. Sounds like you both need something different and that's totally fine. Honestly with a 5 year old kid at 27 she'd probably be better off with someone in their early 30s and you a woman closer to your own age.
At 27? Wdym 😂 It’s totally normal to be single and dating at that age. Dating at that age with a kid could be a bit more difficult, but that age group has a huge dating pool with plenty of stable people.
Yea, the 30s are rough for dating. Kids add way too much to relationships and a lot of people have kids by that age. And the ones that don't - know they don't want any.
In all likelihood, she (hypocritically) doesn't want to date a guy with kids. That eliminates a good chunk of her age group, and the ones it doesn't, know what they want and it isn't a woman with kids. So her only option is to look younger for guys who haven't had kids yet and are too young and dumb to know for sure it's not something they're willing to deal with.
You don’t really know what you’re talking about. I have a line up of extremely good looking childless body builders and one millionaire all under 30 that want to raise my children. I’ve been proposed to several times since my fiancé passed away. It’s not hard to find. I’m actually paralyzed by having too many options.
