Kids

It is becoming more and more difficult to find someone in the 30-something age group to date who doesn't already have kids. What do you do about this? I would much rather go out with someone who hasn't already started a family, but I feel like if I set that criteria then I'll never go on another date again!

Yeah that can be tough. By the 30s people usually have their kids. Not too many wait much longer than that. I`m sure there are plenty still left who either don`t have kids or don`t want kids. And your right it does make it a bit harder to find a date. Maybe there is a group near you for singles with no kids?

Statistics show that there are most women in their 30s do have at least one child. It can be hard to find women who are single and aren't already moms but if you look in the right places you will find them by the dozens. ;)

I think you just need to be up front to start with and explain that you are not interested in starting a relationship with someone who is already tied down. Then again, I think its kind of rude to do that too. I have been single before and at the time a mother as well, some people just say it wrong so be careful of your wording. :)

I think you have a right to feel that way but think about all the wonderful people you would be missing the chance to meet and get to know! If you are dead set on it maybe you should try dating sites or something where you can specify that you don't want anyone with kids.

It's interesting, because I think that you can miss out on some great thigns by limiting yourself in this way. I do think that geni is right though-- being upfront from the start is definitely the way to go.

There are still some people of age 30 who still doesn't have kids, you just have to look at the right place. There are dating sites in the internet that could help you find the person you are looking for.
