Well I just started college this year. And i also just started this job that I love at a cattle auction, because I miss working on the ranch back home, and it's great to get out of the college town.. anyways 3 weeks ago a new guy started working there, the first time I saw him I was like ..omg marry me. He had the build I love in guys, beautiful eyes, cute hair.. and even though I was covered in cow crap he introduced himself to me..and since then has flirted with me and seems like a great guy. I ignored it at first since he is related to everyone who owns the auction and works there (and i worry to much what others would think or say), plus I wasn't sure how old he was... but this week I really got to talking to him and I admit we had some easy to see flirting going on, and for once I flirted back. Mind you this is working 10+ hours, so in the end of the day he was sharing stories with me about when he was in college.

He was going to college, had a house, and the stuff he needed and he was completely robbed of everything he owned. He fell apart, quit college and went back home. anyways after more talking I find out he has two kids! :shock: The way it came and went out of the conversation seemed like it was a pre-warning to me so it didn't shock me later on, and he seemed nervious how i'd react to it.

Now I don't honestly know if this guy is single, but for sure not married... But the vibe I'm getting is that he is single, and his past was in a rut and he's recovering.. which happens (i'm just getting over major depression from something that happened to me four years ago). I was shocked at first..and thought.. damn, so much for hooking up with this guy.. But I got to thinking about my mom who had me when she was 21. The sitution in which I came into this world was quite the scandel (product of an affair (part of the 4 year depression)) and she is a good person. And I hated men when I was growing up because they turned the other way when they found out about me. So how can I judge this guy when I don't even the story behind it.

I could tell at first he was turned off from my young age at first, but I've always been wise beyond my years and thats something everyone sees, no matter how much I miss my ignorant days. And there is one good thing here. I know he is supporting these kids.. my BIGGEST fear in my future relationships is if the guy will make a good father or not someday... I never want my childern to face the pain I went through being fatherless... should I ever have childern.. This is a fear that has worried me for a long time, and until just recently had me positive to the fact that I never wanted childern.. but then I met my nephew.

Should something happen with this I would of course go into it carefully and slow. I have gone into this suddle and slow (unlike the past to deal with emotions) because I have gotten into a point in my life where I am looking for a serious love, not fun and games. I will of course hold fast to my schooling no matter what happens, I have my dreams and if anyone tries to hold me back.. good bye to them...

I can't get this guy out of my head.. if my vibes are right.. I think I want to go for it and see where it takes me.

I would make absolute sure he's single first.......normally I'd say make it sound like innocent convo but since ya'll flirt anyway just come out with it...do you have a gf....
Once you do that...if you're really really interested...just pursue it...make sure you're ready for the long term commitment that you might be making, not only to this guy, but to his children. If you're around long enough they're gonna know you and become attached to you. Make sure that emotionally you can handle that. I actually think you can learn a lot about a person by how they treat their children...but that's just me. I wish you good luck!! I hope that was atleast a little helpful lol

Wonderful advise and I agree entirely. And it all goes along with the one good thing about him having kids is that I get a preview of the type of father/man he is... which is so important to me. As a kid who has experienced this myself, I know that if I walk into this, how much it will affect them, and that I can't just chicken out.. which..is just something I won't do.

Hatred falls: I don't know, I didn't pry, I was still processing the information. But I do plan to find out..

Like I said, this is just unwrapping.. and I'm taking it one step at a time and seeing how it unfolds.. And I've learned to be careful...just in case..in any relationship type sitution.

The nephew story from the summer... My brother has a beautiful year old son. I met him for the first time this summer and feel in love. I got the oppurtunity to babysit him off and on during my visit there and really bonded with him. At first I was scared of him.. I was scared I would bond with him and change my mind about ever wanting kids.. in my fear that I would do to them, what my mother and father did to me. But when he crawled over to me, and just sat there smiling at me.. I lost it. I went to Dillions with my brother and was walking around with my nephew on my hip... My brother turned around and said..'you know, you look to good with a baby on your hip'...and at that moment my whole mind set changed and I matured to another level.

Now for all I know..this could go no where.. but if it does, then I know I could handle it should he prove to be the type of man I am looking for.. And I'm here for college for 7 more years.. so I'm not going anywhere.

The only reason I asked about his kids is because your 18 and everything, and what if one of his kids are say, 6...that would make you 12 when the child was born. I mean, I'm not trying to say that it's bad to pursue a relationship, I'm just saying, it might be awkward.

And I agree with Nykole.

hee hee I've thought about that too. We'll just have to see how it goes..
