I don't think I could handle instant family. I don't want a family of my own yet, mind you to play house with someone else's. I have heard many great instances of it working, but I know for certain, it's not for me. I've had a couple guys that were wanting to go out and stuff, but they had kids and I couldn't. I didn't want to do that to their kids. I don't think the kids should even be involved until it is something definite and serious. Date first, hang out together and then see if it's worth involving the child, because all of that can just be too confusing and unfair for them to deal with. I like kids too, but I just don't want that kind of involvement with someone else's kid, so I think it would be important for me to be upfront about that. Let us know how things go for you
