50% of all marriages end in divorce! That leads many singles with kids. Ironically, I know a few ex-husbands that have primary custody of their children. Is this forum from the 70's Archie Bunker?????
Dating a girl with a kid? Who's done it?

At his age tinder.com would maybe be a better bet.

Maybe the OP can ask coworkers or friends if they know any women for a blind date ?
There's got to be a woman out there for him.
Houston is a big city, its not like he is living in Humpty Dumpty, Kentucky.

My buddy dated a girl with a kid for a while. One day the kid started calling him dad, that was the end of dating that girl.

Amen, I agree with you 100%. I sometimes suspect I am warped back to the 50's-60's era with this crowd here.

OP needs to fix himself before he thinks about dating
Nothing wrong with random hookups off tinder, tho.

Hooking up if you are looking for a woman with STD(s)...
After spending a couple minutes reading the bizarre advice in this thread, it makes me appreciate even more my wife of 44 years. Some of you need to seriously grow up-it's no wonder you can't hold a relationship together or find quality women to build a life with.

BTW, the girls were only 7 & 9 when we married.

In my experience women hide all their flaws in the beginning and they come out over a few years, make sure none of them are major... Usually dating younger women is better, they don't have as many issues from past relationships etc.
My wife has two kids who were 4 and 5 when we got married, we have one of our own now.
Things you will have to deal with as a step Dad:
- You aren't their real Dad and will struggle for respect.
- Unless her and her ex are in perfect standing, there will be legal battles, custody paperwork changes, child support paperwork and some pretty major $$ spent on this.
- "Our Dad let's us drink a case of soda a day, play mature rated games and stay up all night, why don't you? We never get to do anything fun here". Have fun dealing with the co-parents bad decisions.
- For whatever reason she will be more protective of her kids and scrutinize how you treat them. For example; my wife got all huffy yesterday because I called her boys "weenies" for not wanting to go out and play in the rain. They are 9 and 10 mind you. I was just trying to make a point that when I was a kid I played in the rain and it was fun. She got all offended that I called her boys a name...Whatever... If I called my son a weenie in joking she wouldn't bat a eye.
That being said, it can be a great thing also. Taking the kids under your wing and raising them is a big accomplishment. It is a TON of work to be a good parent so just make sure you have done what you want to do on your own and that you can sacrifice "you" time for the kids, they always come first.
You forgot:
You will ALWAYS be second-fiddle (at best) in the relationship.
Unless you net yourself a rich widow or heiress, any man that gets married needs his head examined. It's like Russian roulette with three in the cylinder.

Stop looking for girls at your local walmart. Try online sites like eharmony where you can better control the "features" of your prospects.
Eharmony is a joke. They should be sued for fraud. I tried it and even with my narrowing my search criteria to less than 50 miles. (The closest it would allow)it still had me searching for people who were 2 hours away. Plus 90 percent of the profiles were active over a month ago, which basically means they aren't using the site anymore. I seriously think that site keeps your profile up even after you've deleted it.
They do...my brother's account has gotten a couple of "hits" in the last few months. (He will have been dead 5 years ago Memorial Day.)
