doesn’t want you around them—he’s telling you you’re not
worth the potential headache. But if he says something like “I
got the kids this Saturday, how about we go to the beach or the
park?” then he’s thinking he can figure out how to deal with
the ex later—right now, he wants nothing more than to be with

give you some food for thought about the things you should be
taking into account as you consider whether this man is right

other direction.
He tells you he likes kids, and actually would like to
have one someday.He expresses interest in meeting your children.He shows up to the house with gifts—for the kids.
(Of course, if he brings an Xbox for Mikey and
disappears for a few hours, then that might be a
problem.)
