Some women aren't ready or mature enough to enter into that type of relationship. Some don't want to deal with the idea of an ex-wife, shared custody, etc. Some women just don't want children. Some women want to be in a relationship with someone who would be going through "firsts" with them (first wedding, first child, etc).
It'll work out. My parents split and my mom remarried no problem. My dad has had many relationships with women who didn't have a problem with the fact that he had kids. It's such an individual choice, I can't give you a universal answer.

I personally wud never be turned of bcoz my date has got children, (too bad not all women r like me). my reasons wud be
1) maybe u show much interest in yr children than to da ladies n they don't fancy dat u see
2) yr ex is interfering too much or is threatening yr date in some way u never know
3) u r not dat romantic
4) yr dates don't want 2 have children n lastly maybe yr dates want 2 enjoy their lives before they start their own families or have children so my advise 2 u wud be tell the woman u r asking on da first date
remember living wit step children can be challenging

I have not dated a man with children because I have one of my own. Its very hard to explain. If the relationship goes somewhere and it gets serious, (hypothetically) I would be the mother of two more children and its ALOT of responsibility. Its scary. I believe without a doubt if the relationship is strong and all the values of raising children are the same - its a piece of cake but the thought scares me. I also know a very shallow person that won't date a man with kids because they aren't hers. So you have to be very aware of who your dating. I wish you all the best - its not easy!!!

I bet you would have better luck with a single mother. They are ususaly looking for a guy who will accept their children and be a good father.

maybe if you tell them beforehand, they will know what theyre getting into. the women that you dated before, were probably not looking for a guy with kids yet.

because i think the women don't want to get involved with kids that aren't theirs. they'll always be having to deal with your ex-wife because they're connected with you and the kids are yours, and i think some women just want to have kids of their own if they have kids with a guy.
