37-years-old and Wanting Kids

Dear ASK REAL GUYS: Are you scared to date a 37-year-old woman who wants kids but does not yet have them? Do you feel like somehow she will make you the father of her kids before you even know whether you want to be with her?

Steven: Yes. This is why you should talk about this up-front. Remember, often there are "elephants in the room" that need to be addressed. This is not a deal-breaker but an important issue to discuss and get out in the open. By discussing this, if the man is scared, you are creating an openness that will allow him to discuss his concerns. You can address and resolve the concerns and get to the business of getting to know each other and seeing where the relationship goes.
