Dating women with children.

NEVER

I see nothing wrong with it.
As long as she's not under any illusions that you'll be an immediate father replacement.

Just don't patronize her for having kids, and don't be awkward around the kid.

If you feel generally uncomfortable in the situation, then pull the chute now and save everyone some time. But if you like the girl, and you're good with kids and don't mind it, then by all means go for it.

The older you get, the less crazy women with kids are gonna be. For me (21), I wouldn't date someone with kids...too crazy. I mean a 2 year old at age 21 means that person was making babies at age 19. No one should be crapping out kids at 19...which leaves accident in the equation, and in my experience a lot of women opt for adoption or the other shush A-word when they have an Oops. At your age though (26?) she might have all her marbles together and just had a bad experience with an ex, or wanted a kid and then didn't or had an Oops and went with your religiously aligned route of birthing.

I'd say if you're hitting it off and you see a future with this girl then go for it. If not then have your fun and get out of there pronto. There's no pressure but if you decide to date for a while you may become a father figure, and that is baggage...do you want to deal with that? Daddy?

On the bright side of things if you're good with kids you'll always get bonus points from her if the kid likes you. Also free in to her pants.
