I met this wonderful guy. Instantly my gut told me he was worth holding on too. Smart, funny, no kids, never been married, good career, comes from a good family, etc.

 

I seem like the one with all the baggage. Im 29, divorced, and have a young child. He is 32 and has never dated a woman with children. I think because he likes me he is accepting of it (he has said he doesnt want to force his relationship with my son just to get close to me-- I agree.) This is one issue. The second problem is the distance. We live an hour away from each other. I personally dont have a problem with the distance right now but he feels like we are only going to be able to see each other on weekends. He wants to stop by after work and say hey or whatnot but he cant when I live an hour away. It feels long distance to him. Again I told him if you foresee it being a problem its best to let go now. However there is a big piece of him that doesnt want to lose me because he said I have 80+ percent of what he is looking for.

 

Im confused. This seems so promising. But at the same time I dont want to carry on a relationship and in the future these things become a major problem. The only concern I have with him is he has "baby fever" and I do not. He is ready for a family. I dont care to have another child right now and I would like to be married.. he doesnt feel like we need to be marriage off the bat. Again this is no big issue to me. But help.
