Divorced dads with kids: is it normal for you to text girls you like about your kids? That being the only reason for the text?

[Anonymous]

Or is that a habit you reserve for girls you only consider friends? I don’t know how to read this guy. We aren’t dating, and half the time I think he’s friend-zoned me. But he does text me exciting things about his daughter. I wondered if it was because he thought of me as more than a friend. Any input is helpful. Thanks!

It could go either way but very hard to tell w limited info. He could be doing it simply as a friend. He may be doing it to feel you out as to how to react to him having kids. Like would she date me if I had kids? But again very limited info. I k ow for myself it was about 1.5 years before I even brought my girlfriend around my son.

Can't with this limited information.

What other info would be helpful?

Lol... the nature of your relationship, how long in the relationship, how much time you spend together, etc.

I’m a coach where his daughter competes, but I’m not her coach. I’ve known him a little over a year. I see him at least twice a week, more in the summer. Recently I went on a day trip with them. He’s never mentioned dating or anything, but we have excellent banter. He loves to tease me, but not in a mean way. We had zero degrees weather, and he made sure the truck was warm for me for the trip day.

So would you consider yourself in a relationship?

[Asker]

Unfortunately no. We’ve never been on a date.

[spartan55]

Huh? Are you having sex?

[Asker]

We are not.

[spartan55]

Sounds like you are buddies. Doesn't look that will change either.
