Default Dating a single mother *advice needed*

Ok so I recently have started seeing the lady that cuts my hair. She is 28 and I am 23 and she has 2 kids, a boy (5) and a girl (9). I am fine around kids and they do not bother me but I was wondering if OOT has any advice they would like to share in a situation like this. She is very attractive (sorry no pics) and responsible but I have never dated or been with a woman that has kids before. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Make sure to lock the door, even after the kids have gone to bed.

This very well could make me an [censored], but it would take one hell of a girl for me to do this.

My brother got involved in a similar situation, it was bad news due the "baby's daddy". What is the situation with these kids father?

Me: I feel for you, man. But a real man wouldn't shoplift the pootie from a single mom.
You: I didn't shoplift the pootie.

You: All right. ___________________.

They used to be married but he just kinda up and left them. Thats really all I know at this point because I am not trying to pry or anything.

If she's a good mom, she'll put her kids needs above yours and hers. As bad as this sounds, this is a good thing, because she'll do the same for any kids she has with you. (Many of you won't understand this, the ones with kids will.) If you can't stand the fact she puts her kids needs first, get out now.

If she treats her kids badly, that's a definite get out sign. Other than that, welcome to "instant family".

I think it would be much more palatable if the guy was out of the scene. It is certainly a tough situation. I think it really just depends on how strongly you feel for the girl. If you are/become very serious with her, then I say go for it.
