I would assume that he was only stating that if you admit that you can't handle children, that not going into a relationship that requires responsibility to children is a good choice.
yah, i saw that... i was also just wondering if as a single dad, he would find it less complicated to date a non-parent

cool.... at least you're dating.... were they Christian may I ask?

No, at the time, I wasn't being obedient. But I am now, and so thats why I am not dating at all.. LOL. becuase the criteria has changed., they must be Christian, first and foremost, and I am open to dating single moms with no more than one kid, if she has two I can make an exception if she's worth it..

Yes to all the questions except in the case of a woman with kids from multiple baby daddies.

hi brofrnuthamo..... so you feel the same way yourself, given that you have kids too? like you'd prefer to date/marry someone who doesnt' have kids themselves?... interesting....

I think it's ok for someone who's 19 to feel that way. My answer is above^

The last three women were as follows, one was a single mom with three kids, but is not Christian, she's agnostic, the next one after that was a sexy 37 year old six foot tall gal with lets just say "blessed" attributes, but then admitted to me over the phone that she is a witch and is a member of a coven, and the one after that was a catholic who is agnostic now. So I have pretty much decided to kick back now, focus on work and school and sublimate by working out incessantly, hanging out with my friends.. etc etc

Maybe. With ex's and ex-inlaws/ grandparents... Those complicate things.
The reward? Hopefully someone who loves and appreciates you (and vice versa) and understands blessings. (however they happen)
It's good to make a difference in a kids life too. I think (as long as allegiances don't cloud things too much) it's possible to love others children as your own.

yah, it's nice to be single after you've been dating the wrong one.... then after a while it gets old.... but yah, there is so much other fun to have.... i'm thinking of trying fencing for a bit... maybe i'm a natural at it, at least it looks like alot of fun

I always wonder about that equally yoked rule.. and why us as believers only must be with other believers, I mean.. its hard enough, all I ever meet is nonbelievers who of course I click with except for the belief in God, and of course I would rather be with a Christian woman, but the closest I came was that Mormon woman...

I mean if we won't marry or be given in marriage in the next life whats the use of being equally yoked?..

i see your point.... i think i made a good decision not to go into a court battle just to get my baby daddy's money....he's pretty much out of our life, and i ain't cryin' tears like in that Michael Jackson song

I have a friend (now a Christian) with kids from 3 different men.
I know someone else (my first ex-wife) that's been married 3 times and in between #2 & #3 had a child with someone she didn't marry (after abandoning the two we had leaving them with me).
That's what I meant. Not your situation. I hope I didn't imply that.

The line of the Messiah has already been fulfilled.. so being unequally yoked wouldn't alter history at this point in time...

But it can/will effect our walk with Christ. We'll be torn between our spouse and our savior.

Thats true, when I was dating that beautiful mormon gal, she asked me.. "hey, its Wednesday, don't you have Bible Study"? and my reply was "uhh yeah, but I can catch it next week" and proceeded to spend the rest of the day with her...
