I am a newly single father as the mother has left me for what it looks like for good. I really wish that wasn't the case but it's just me and my little ones now.

I'm 26 and would like to have companionship again. I went on a date and things went well. When I brought up that I had kids she sorta wasn't happy bout that and said she didn't want to get attached to my kids as it had happened in a previous relationship. This is a huge roadblock I forgot would happen.

Any hints, tips, tricks? I really don't want to be alone and this seems like a huge impass to get past. I would like a casual gf but someday a wife. For now only casual as I am still in pain from her leaving me.

Ask anything you wish so that I can help you help me.
