Any tips? This is the first time dating a soccer mom (literally) but she is about the most grounded and prettiest woman I've ever met. I have no kids and never been married. How do I approach this?

take it slow, I have dated divorced women with kids a lot in the past. you will have to realize that if they are a good parent, you are not going to be her first priority, it will be to her kids. try to plan dates and outings with her children, that way you include the kids, and they don't feel left out of the picture. don't try to be their dad, just be their friend. I am not saying let them run over you, but don't come in and think that your word is law. to them you are the new guy, and you are going to have to earn their trust and respect. it is hard dating a woman with kids, because she will not have a lot of free time just for herself or you. being a parent is a full time job, and never ends. don't try to win the kids affection, and it helps if you are somewhat a kid at heart, that way you don't feel so silly playing G I Joe or dress up Barbie. show interest in the kids, if your girlfriend is comfortable letting you do things with them, take them to the zoo or the movies just you and the kids, get to know them, children are just little versions of us and they will treat you the same way you treat them. good luck

You don't. Stay away from women who have children. You really don't want to be taking this on. Trust me on this. Even the best woman in the world is not worth that baggage of raising someone's else's child. The only way you should date a mom is if the kids are adults and out of the house already. Otherwise you will be dealing with tons of baggage and it will age you fast.

Be yourself. She might have a little more experience in the marriage category, but she's also more grounded and will know what is good or not good for her. Make sure she's not looking to settle down too soon. Sometimes divorced women are quick to get into another serious relationship because that is their norm. Take your time and have fun with her. It should be great!!!!!!!!!

Just don't get to deep in the relationship b4 you realize you'll never except the kids as your own. And I say this as a woman who has two stepkids that I just can't seem to grow to love. Try to be honest to yourself.

I did this a couple of times. I won't date a woman with kids anymore unless the kids are older. Too much drama and you generally end up getting used and treated like sh$t by her and her kid(s),
