I’m 32F and one thing I’ve been firm on is, I don’t want kids, I don’t have that urge to be pregnant, give birth. It’s something that over the course of my childhood, 20s and now 30s, I still don’t want them. I don’t hate kids. Kids are great, they’re funny, I don’t mind them in spaces but I know that I’m cool with being the fun aunt to all my friends kids but it seems like every guy in my age range when I say that, they suddenly switch up on me and act like there’s something wrong with me or I’ll change my mind about it.
Last guy I went out was going well. I thought we had a great connection for weeks and then he brought up “well actually I do want kids.” and I said “I still don’t.” To which he said, “I just thought you didn’t want kids until you found someone. I’d be a great dad.” so I had to break that off, and honestly it’s been surprisingly hard finding people that also want to be child free. I don’t know if it’s just that age where people are thinking about it but even when I bring it up, I find myself having to reaffirm my choices to them. Anyone else have this issue? I feel like finding someone that doesn’t want kids makes dating even harder.
