    Hi All

    about a week ago I met a guy while out one night, we got on well and exchanged numbers we have been texting over and back since then and he has now asked me out on a date.
    The thing is I am seperated from my husband over 2 years and I have a 6year old so Im wondering should I mention I have a little boy before I go on a date or what should I do? From experience I know some guys can be funny about it where as others dont care at all..

    Thanks in advance

    Go on the date and tell him then. He might have a kid too, you never know. Have fun and dont stress too much over telling him on the date. Its not that big of a deal.

    I agree. Tell him casually on the date. Did you tell him you are seperated?
    Don't fret if you didn't. Better to be clear though from the initial date regarding your personal circumstances.
    Most guys are ok with that kind of thing and you never know, he might be seperated too!!
    Good luck and enjoy the date!!;)

    As a guy Id expect to be told fairly early on, but not necessarily the first date. But usually you will chat about your current lives a bit surely, so prob better to say it if it comes up in conversation, i.e. I wouldnt *avoid* saying it, but dont feel you have to.

    Tell him through the course of the date, it should crop up naturally enough in conversation. You don't need to blurt out "I have a child!!!!!!" as if you are declaring you have genital warts. I am sure you are proud of your little boy so you are perfectly entitled to convey that to your date without going OTT. The dating world has changed. An awful lot of people have been married/are separated/have kids so I wouldn't worry m'dear. Enjoy the date!
