I'm meeting up with a woman for a first date tomorrow afternoon, however
we've had a few conversations that have scratched a little deeper than
the usual pre-date chit chat.





Tonight I was asked what my absolute deal breakers are as far as
dating.  When I listed that I want kids in the future, yet I don't want
to date someone with kids, she told me that she had a daughter, yet her
daughter had met an untimely early departure due to a birth defect.





I couldn't think of anything to say at that point, for once I was left with speechless.

I don't think there's a witty retort for that, which leaves a knowing look, and wise silence.





Well played.

The only thing I can think to say would be..."Oh My gosh.....I'm so sorry"....

Well, it certainly highlighted the insensitivity of your comment.  Life isn't as always as simple as we would like it to be.

Delta, I dunno how old you are, but if you are older than say, 24, I think that deal-breaker is kinda restrictive...And it may keep you from meeting someone whom you'd be great with.

Look, your rules, your standards, etc....but I'm just saying that if you go into the restaurant already thinking that you don't want beef, the guy next to you may order the Beef Wellington of your dreams while you're sitting there gnoshing on overcooked chicken.

I don't think I would know what to say to that either...



I lost a baby and wouldn't bring it up like that.

I'm 30, while having the no children rule does limit my choices a bit, in the Atlanta area, there's plenty of people in 24-36 age range that don't have childrent and want them in the future.  Regardless, the date went well, and even though we're still feeling eachother out, we have another date set up.
