The land of grey peas and bacon |
So I have a question I have been on several dates with someone and the last ended a bit funnily...he asked me for what I wanted out of life and I said to contuine being happy and a family...he said that it was coming on a bit forward in expressing my want for a family so earlier on....isn't that the intention of dating to get to know what the other person wants...id rather know earlier on that the bloke was open to a family rather than wasting months....time which I haven't got seeing if that's what he wants....
Of course I don't want to scare people off I'm just finding dating hard work at the moment and I'm not even looking...I thought that was supposed to be the best time  |

He probably thought you meant you wanted a family with him or something? But you're right if you don't want the same things you can't really go forward from there, right? |

Why ask what you want in life and then say you are being forward in telling him.
It's definitely the point - you have to ask and then tell. Think its called communication

He asked what you wanted, you answered I'm not sure what his problem is. 
I would hate to be dating I don't think I have the social filters any more and would scare them off before we'd finished the first drink.  |

If he asked you what you want from life.. And you told him.. I don't get his problem??..
If he asked you what you wanted from him.. I'd understand that reaction..
And men say women are confusing! |

I'd say being up front about what you want in life is very important. If there isn't common ground it is difficult to see a future in a relationship. I think you did the right thing and his response gives you a clue as to his thinking. |

He asked and therefore you told - he should accept your answer and talk about it if it's not his thing then look elsewhere.
Nobody mentioned timeframe!
Good luck lovely, it's a hard game to play xx |

"If he asked what you want in life, he really ought to expect to hear what you want in life "
This would be my problem if I was dating, I couldn't do the telling them what they want to hear thing. |

I really don't see the problem.
Question asked. Question answered.
It's not like you said "children with you, right now, let's elope!!!!!!"

There are reasons Mr N and I often laugh and say it's lucky we met each other because nobody else would have us  |

"Good luck.......... Dating is such a tricky game to play"
Why on earth does it need to be a game? What's the payoff?
I don't get it. Sharing dreams, aspirations and interests were a really important part of my courting days. Game playing was the last thing I thought about. Open communication is critical in my mind. The things that I found it difficult to be open about at the time were those things that became issues later. |

It sounds like he was playing a game with you. On the face of it being upfront and interested in you but covertly tempting you to say something deeply personal that he could use to dismiss you for. He sounds like he wasn't being particularly intimate and honest himself, probably because he isn't in your league and has issues.
I think he's probably better gone from your life. |

Some guys shit their pants at the thought of anything that mught represent serious commitment. Not sure why. A maturity thing, maybe? In reality it's all down to context. Given that he'd specifically asked you what you want out of life, the idea that you might want a family at some unspecified point down the line is not unreasonable. |

be open for what you want he asked the question what did he expect for you to tell him how you want to be a crazy cat lady.... if you want a family and a family home in your future then so be it...
Don't be out of by one guy expecting you to say ohhhh I want to suck your nuts daily and cool for you etc xx

It's a reasonable reply and not one id take to be scary OTT or intimidating.
Perhaps he was fishing or looking for a way out.
Plus it's a fairly stock dating question. Serial daters are thought to get their partners to open up. To expose themselves to encourage intimacy. A little psychology is a dangerous thing. |

"I'm sure the right man you deserve will come along miss cc x"
To be honest right now I'm not that bothered, I was hell bent on having a relationship a while ago but for me the thrill of dating has gone and I'll just contuine to have fun with life. |

I went on a date with someone last year, Only known her for 2 weeks and while chatting over a meal I said to her I wanted children one day, She said she had never wanted any and as she was 40 she was getting a little to old anyway, I knew then it wouldn't go anywhere, I told her the next day the reason, I did feel a little bad for ending it before it went anywhere but I knew one of us would get hurt if we carried on seeing each other |

I think it's fair to be honest early on in situations like that. |

Why a game at all?
You meet someone you can be yourself with, you eventually share your hopes and dreams and hope they match and get on with your lives: where's the game play there? |

There's nothing wrong with your wants in life. No matter what they are. It's your life after all. Just keep being honest and being you. You'll meet the right one in time. If we were closer, I'd ask you out.  |

I think that's fair. I've done something similar in reverse. I was sterilised at 31 after having my children. When I left my husband I met someone else he was in his 50s and didn't have children.
We were out and there was a family at the next table. He said he'd always wanted children and hadn't given up hope. It was our second date, there wasn't a thire.
I said there wasn't much point starting a relationship as I couldn't have any more kids and he wanted them. He said he was just being whimsical but I couldn't get the thought out of my mind. |
