    If he noticed what you were wearing, he was not only checking you out, he was trying to figure you out. Men analyze women, we just don't use as many variables. He is warming up to something.

    BTW, why would you think riding a motorcycle contrasts with being a father/family man? We don't turn in our man card when we have kids.

    Well he needs to stop checking me out if he's married because he's leading me on! :explode: Guess he's feeling more comfortable around me.

    And as far as the bike, I don't think that really.... just being hopeful.

    This is why I assume he's single so far:

    Street sports bike
    Being at the gym all the time after work for 1 1/2 hours at a time
    Checking me out and acting flirty

    *Granted all of these could still be even if he's married.

    Why I think he's married:

    The 2 little boys he brought in on a Sunday.

    2 little boys doesn't mean a person is married. This could be a single dad. It all depends on how you feel about the single dad thing. I'm not keen on the single mom thing.

    Ask for what you want. Ask him out on a date. That's the way to cut through the bullsh1t.

    Well alrighty then! :laugh: I won't be asking him out but I'll be finding out if he's taken. If he's not and he's interested, hopefully he'll take the hint. I do love the anticipation and the tension... :tongue:

    Yeah, that is a way of doing it. I can think of a time when I was interested in a particular woman. I didn't know if she was single so I flat out asked her "Are you single?". "Are you single?" cuts through the bullsh1t.

    I'm not a fan of anticipation and tension in this context. Anticipation and tension have a place, but it's better to be certain that they are single and have an open mindset to dating. Stuff is already complicated without wondering about a pre-requisite.

    Maybe this is unfair to think but I can see why it'd be harder for a guy with NO kids to date a woman WITH kids than a woman with NO kids dating a guy WITH kids. Most of the time, the kids live more with the mom than with the dad. So if I were to ever date a man with kids, most likely they're not living at home with him. They're with mom and dad probably gets them every other weekend? Unless they have joint custody.
    If you were to date a woman with kiddos, you'd be seeing her around the kids schedule, I assume.

    Every other weekend? I thought it would be more like every weekend.

    Still, even if it every other weekend, that is 4 days a month. The average month has 30 days. That's 13% of your potential time alone out the window. What if you don't like kids? Kids are also generally resentful of someone new in a parent's life. And that doesn't change even if you are dating someone with kids over 18.

    I would agree with the general point though that it is easier for a woman with no kids to date a man with kids than a guy with no kids to date a woman with kids. Guys with no kids usually don't appreciate the lack of availability. There are already enough organic scheduling barriers.

    This, I must say, is freaking hysterical .. men have such different minds then women. Never in my life would I figure out the percentage of time a child takes away from alone time. That is cute. lol.

    I am DYING to know how this turns out! lmao! His *kitten* better be single. lol

    Spending time together as a couple is important. Losing 13% off the top during prime scheduling time for people who work fairly typical work schedules is a barrier. The more organic barriers are work commitments, other social life commitments, etc. The harder it is to schedule with someone, the less likely that I am going to be interested. I like someone who is easy to make plans with.

    I find DM1983Z's posts amongst the funniest on the forum for being the exact opposite of the way I think (I mean this in a nice way, I quite like it :smile: ). Glad it's not just me :laugh:

    I like your posts too. Your thoughts and the way you express yourself sometimes reminds me of my friend lover, which is why I just listen to him and go to daydreaming land. :love:

    Plus I told you, I have forever memorized your line about how relationships should just flow. haha

    I assume you're talking to DMZ here! :smile: Btw La Amazona, how are you going to find out if your Fancy Man is married?

    Back to DMZ: I must admit, despite the entertainment, I find myself hoping you run all your finding Mrs Right theories past some older close frend/relative IRL (fishing for reassurance :happy: ).

    Oh man.. I can't date men with kids anymore. I'm just too selfish to share I guess. But I just came out of a relationship (marriage) where he had the kids full time so there was no time for alone time. :\

    Ha, yes I was talking to DMZ.

    Well the plan is something like this. I'll walk in, smile, he will smile. I'll then say "how's it going?" blah blah..
    Then *gulp*.
    "Hi, I'm Diana by the way. We seem to see each other a lot and I still don't know your name!"
    He'll then introduce himself.
    Then I'll say "So, cute kids you brought in the other day! And here I thought you were super young!"
    Then he'll say, "Oh yeah those are mine. They were visiting for spring break as they live with their mother in Brazil. (haha) Are you single?"
    I'll say "why yes I am..."
    Then he'll say "want to go out sometime?"
    And I'll play coy and say "oh sure!"

    The end.


    Or I was thinking....

    "Hey how are you? My name is Diana by the way."
    He'll introduce himself.
    Then I'll say "guess what? You asked if I liked rap last time.. I'm going to go see Bone Thugs N Harmony next week"
    He'll say "Oh REALLY?"
    Then somehow I gotta turn it into whether he's single or not..

    Yup. Not that I've thought about it or anything!
