Re: When to tell your date that you have kids? jillieb44: Right off the bat, and not as an 'issue to discuss.'
I'd find a way to drop it into the conversation somehow. Like, 'yeah, last week my daughter and I got caught in the rain, and we got soaked, but saw a beautiful rainbow!' or whatever so that it's out there, a part of who you are, no apologies necessary.
If they bolt, then they weren't meant to be. Your daughter is your blood. If someone has no desire to be a part of my kids' lives, then to h*ll with them.

Re: When to tell your date that you have kids? toolboy: Tell her right away, If you are a good father is says alot about your character. Responsible and caring. I don't know 1 Woman out there who isn't looking for that. It seems that that is a big plus in your corner not a detraction to who you are. Be honest and up front, no suprises down the road. If she isn't comfortabe with that then you are wasting your time which could be spent somewhere else, say with your daughter.
