Bit of advice..

So I know most of you don't "know" me very well, but this forum is a little more... "grown up" than the others I frequent, and I wondered if anyone has some experience they might be able to throw my way..

Firstly, you need to understand I am the world's most single man ever. As a few of you from elsewhere know, I've not had a great run of luck lately on the girlie front!

Last weekend I met a fantastic girl. 25 years old, beautiful, seems very down to earth, intelligent, she ticks lots of my boxes. I suffer from shyness and it took all the bottle I could muster to get her number and I've arranged to go out with her on Wednesday. We've had a few text sessions and so far, it seems we get on pretty well and there's some good tongue in cheek flirtage going on.

There is a catch though. She has a 4 year old son.

My opinion is it's a first date, I shouldn't give it any thought. If we see each other a few times and things go well, then I will need to consider my options given the level of responsibility and everything that would go with someone in that situation. However, someone else said to me I should think about it now, because if we do get involved I'm going to find it hard to balance her and Junior. I'm only 23 and I have loads to do before I start worrying about a family.

Has anyone been in a similar situation before? I'm a bit confused :/

Thanks for reading!
