This is about online dating and the people who ignore it when you say
you don't WANT to be a parent OR stepparent.

I had this happen once to me. He showed up (late) with his kids in tow
to our first date. Which he failed to mention — that he had kids or that
he was going to bring them. What a joy! My bio says I am CF and I don’t
ever want children and I don’t want anyone that has children. He kept
all of it quiet until that dinner.
I stood up after he got them situated, and I said “happy to have kept
the seat warm. Have a great dinner!”
He was shocked! “What do you mean? Where you going? Why are you
leaving?”
“I came to meet someone for a first date. To get to know them. I did not
come here to be a playground monitor. I’m off the clock, and you
couldn’t afford me. I wouldn’t accept my jobs paying me in dinner, I don’t accept it now either.”
“This is a date, not a job interview!”
“Not from where I’m sitting. Look up Nanny’s. You’ll have better luck, I
think.”
I turned around and left. I figured for the inconvenience he caused, he
should be stuck with the bill I racked up while waiting: one glass of
water, so $0. I saw the waitress and handed her $1 for her tip for
bringing me one water.
By the time I got home he had messaged me that I was a bitch and the
least we could have done was gone halfsies. Yeah; no. I spent $1 for the
joy of waiting for him to show up late, I spent $0. I’m not paying half
for food I wasn’t even there to consume. He can feed his own kids.
