Megan

Started this but then got caught up on Whitney Spotify 😬

Carey Addis

Mattie just casually drops that he made out with a bball player? Who?! Don’t edge us like that!

Laura Kunz

I would want to know if someone had a kid right away. I definitely let everyone know right away I don’t want kids, so that wouldn’t be fair if they hid their child.

Carey Addis

My favorite guy was definitely Lou Ferrigno. I am a sucker for those huge shoulders and tidy mullet.

MicaS

25 minutes in: Poodle: I need to record this (re: Mattie’s take on Matthew). Mattie: We ARE recording. …ARE we recording?

Kara

Matthew also felt like love bombing to me. My warning bells were going off internally just watching him interact with other people. Also, loved y'alls cold open😂❤️

Ari

Poodle, your Jimmy impression is so fucking funny

Ari

AD is so so so cute

Ari

I’m not a mother, but if I were in Jessica’s shoes, I would tell someone early on in order to protect myself

Christine Karaki

Mattie not knowing that Chris Cornell made me CACKLE for some reason 😂

Colleen 🗑

My Superbowl!!! Thank you Queens!!!

Laura Taylor

This drop is everything for my work day!

Ari

I’m still waiting for the LIB season where two of the girls fall in love with each other and leave the show! 🌈

Rebecca Goodge

OK this may be a hot take, but as a mom, I feel like Jessica has no business doing this particular experiment. 4 weeks is just not long enough to decide to just thrust another parental figure into your child's life.

Jennifer Moseley

In this silly love is blind pods, I would for sure lead w I have a kid. Motherhood is not my entire identity however it is a huge part of how I make decisions and move through the world. However, there is no way I would go on a show to date and marry within a month then have them in my child’s life. I have a complete vetting process who is around my kids.

Jessica Pyper

I’m starting to watch LIB like I watch housewives. Most of the couples are comical to me. Does that make me a bad person 🙃

Jessica Pyper

Yep! Couldn’t agree more. But after learning of her background, I have more of a soft spot for her. Hope she gets some therapy and healing.

Jenn

I agree with Mattie…I got narcissist vibes from Matthew with the love bombing. I’m also just not into kidnapping cosplay and the second he said that he’d put her in a blanket and haul her away…nope!

Becca Horsley

Matthew so far reminds me of the Ben Afflack character in The Accountant

Sandra Munoz

I think because I'm older, I always ask how many times have you been married and how many kids do you have? First thing out of the gate

Emily K

Mnnnn I got a bad feeling about Matthew off the bat. I am with Mattie on this one. Also the superman comment… this guy sees himself as Clark Kent with the glasses and muscles. 🫣

Jessica K

I also saw Matthew as an Andrew type for sure

Lois Molina

I think Jessica didn’t want to mention her child so she wouldn’t ruin her chances on continuing on the show. Matthew reminded me of American Psycho. I love AD but her picker is nonexistent. She wants love so badly that she’ll do whatever it takes. Poor thing. She’s the only person I’m rooting for.

Peggy Ann

Clay’s comment about love and cats is very similar to something my last roommate said 🚩🚩🚩

Jessica K

I was surprised to hear Poodle say a white person from a poor/small town background who has left town and made some money wouldn’t have to code switch - I’m sure Jimmy doesn’t do that to anywhere the extent AD does (I cannot wait to get a Black person’s take on that, I thought it was incredible) but for me and my friends from home, there are absolutely things we would never say in front of outsiders or tell outsiders about. I’m fortunate to be able to pass because I’m white but it’s also alienating when people think you’re something you are not.

Moy

My first thought was that Matthew was this season’s Andrew, showed up with his shtick ready. Then it hit me that’s he’s actually more like Sergio from LIB Sweden, except more incelly. Clay is whatever, I don’t care about him. Mostly it’s just f*ck the casting department for always slotting in this particular type of black guy into every season. Each season we get at most 2 black men in the main cast and without fail one is the villain/douche archetype, it’s just boring at this point.

Samantha Guzman

Is the couple Mattie is thinking about that royally effed up and picked wrong Bliss and Zack? He picked Irina first.

Arden

Chris Cornell was murdered - c’mon Tinfoil Hattie!

Kait Marie

It was Jessica! It fell apart with Barnett and she ran to Mark!!!!! The way I was SCREAMING

Colleen 🗑

Regarding Jessica: y'all nailed it. I have a 9 year old and I'd want to immediately weed out anyone that wasn't interested in eventually being around my kid. Parents are busy! Why waste time like that?

Moy

I’m inclined to agree, it reminds me of one season I watched of MAFS Australia where one of the brides had two young sons, which the groom learned about during the wedding reception. Asking someone to become an insta parent on shows like these just feels irresponsible on everyone’s part.

Lizzy

I was caught off guard by the anime conversation, as an anime fan I was like WHY WOULD YOU TELL ANYONE YOU LIKE ANIME?? 😂 I went “WEEABOO WEEABOO OH MY GOD THERES A WEEABOO ON THE SHOW!” 🤣 Also Chris Cornell is my favorite singer of all time 😅 and he was hot.

Mansui Miller

I have two young kids and close to the end of my relationship with their dad so I think about it often - personally even though parenthood is a huge part of my day to day life its not a big part of my identity (which btw makes me feel awful to write but whatever ill process that a different day!). Even so I would absolutely lead with the fact I have kids. Maybe I'll feel different when they're a bit bigger and I'm out of weeds a little more. But I don't even think it would be possible to hide it for a single date, in the very least because the logistics of life are so tightly tied to being a parent now. Anyway having gone into one relationship where I was trying hide parts of myself and seeing what a shitshow that turned into, no thanks to a take two to that lol

Jessica Pyper

No you’re not stupid men for thinking Jessica should have disclosed that she’s a mother. The end goal of LIB is marriage, which is serious. The stakes are higher. This isn’t just a dating app.

Peggy Ann

I’m also the first in my immediate family to graduate college, and then go on to earn my Master’s. Pap Pap was able to get free college for fighting in WWII, but didn’t finish because he decided he learned enough and was able to have an engineering career. Grandma wanted to be a nurse, but ended up helping the family pay for her little sister to be a nurse. My mum got really sick halfway through her college education, but she had enough high school and college credits in accounting to go on and have a career in the late 70s. Like, how messed up is it that both my Pap Pap and mum could have careers in their field without a full education, whereas my generation can barely have a career with a college degree, even with a Master’s and whatnot?

Rose

Lol totally texted my friend that Matthew is gonna Patrick Bateman whatever poor woman gets engaged to him.

Rose

THANK YOU. There's a big difference between dating as a parent and LEGALLY MARRYING AND LIVING WITH SOMEONE YOU'VE KNOWN FOR ONE MONTH, WHEN YOU'RE RAISING A YOUNG CHILD. I don't hate Jessica and felt she came off well... except for the fact that she literally signed up to have a virtual stranger live in the house with her daughter.

Rose

Jessica seems like a good and well-intentioned person, but I kept thinking that it's a big ol YIKES 😬 that she signed up to do a show where the entire premise is you legally marry and then live with a man you've known for a grand total of one month, when she has a young daughter she's raising who presumably lives with her.

Jennifer Riester

Poodle's warning label should be "handle at your own risk" 🤣

Lizzy

Then there’s that autoerotic asphyxiation theory…

Jennifer Riester

When that bomb dropped at the end I decided Matthew is actually a serial killer.

Aish780

AD was a Patriots cheerleader and is from Boston.. she’s def is use to that fuck guy energy (which is what clay gives) and this is also why her mom would prefer she stops dating athletes.

Mansui Miller

That said, I do understand wanting to wait maybe especially for people who do strongly identify with their roles as parents or guardians etc

Nanda

LiB is here!!! This show is one of your best recaps, I listen to each episode more than once!

Enjoli Pickett

As a single mom who is now married with a second kid, I threw out that I had a kid prior to moving forward with ANYONE. Why? Because I had a young daughter and I refuse to be with someone who wanted me to ignore her for them. Yes it is a thing sadly. I also didn’t want anymore toxic men in her life since her bio dad is a mess. So, when I met my husband I mentioned it multiple times because he was a bachelor with no kids and I needed to see how he would respond. I got “oh I love kids, I have 10 nieces & nephews.” and he didn’t act like it was the world ending. Which when you build a relationship with someone like Jessica did then drop it on them, that’s what happens. Plus, if they are going to run you won’t have an attachment if it happens at the beginning.

Julie K

Did NOT have Mattie and Poodle talk to the Wall Street Journal on my bingo card! I got stupidly invested in AD’s story fast. It never occurred to me not to tell anyone in any circumstance that I was a single mom because it was such a fundamental part of who I was-a ton of men were very attracted to the insta-family, actually. Anyway it wasn’t a dating impediment. In the context of this show, second date at the latest

High Skyer

I am a mama and I dont know how I would not make it clear I have a child upfront. She is such an enormous part of my life I don't know how I leave her out. I would want someone fully open to kids and not settling because they like me and can maybe deal with me being a parent.

Claire Pancerz

I don’t have children but I agree with your logic 100%. Why do I want to create any kind of attachment to someone who would not want my child. I do have friends who inherited children and I found that - even though they loved the children - the concept that the kids came first was a little bit of a pill to swallow. They had no first-hand experience of that concept. P.S. Your husband sounds like a peach!

Claire Pancerz

EXACTLY. If this is what Black women who want to date within their race are facing, ugh. If this is the casting department deciding to constantly throw players into the mix, then do it with other races. It’s just starting to feel weird.

Tricia theisen

Matthew is a GD roller coaster and I am UNINTERESTED.

Amber Atkins

Mallory picked Sal but wanted Jarett I'm sure there's others but that's the first one that came to mind

Jacqueline Smith

If you’re looking for feedback about the kids thing. It’s just my opinion. Children need to be revealed very early on . ASAP. On the first date. Immediately.

Arden

Matthew definitely puts the lotion in the basket. Asking one of his 17 questions and leaving the pods while the women were answering? Thank you next!

Elizabeth

I’m a single mom, I love my kid more than anything and he’s a big part of my life. But I wouldn’t put it in a dating profile and I wouldn’t necessarily intentionally bring it up on the first date. If it came up, fine, but I wouldn’t necessarily be thinking “I need to tell them right away.” But motherhood and identity is so different for everyone, I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer ❤️

Kaitlin

I'm a 35 year old woman who has done a lot of dating, and I don't think it's fair to not be VERY upfront about having children. Children are so quickly a dealbreaker when dating (and I mean specifically whether or not someone wants to have children is something you need to know basically day one so you don't waste anyone's time). A child in someone's life means they have a person/people they need to put above anyone else. It means they live a specific lifestyle with very specific responsibilities. You have to be up front about that ASAP. Someone having a child wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me, but someone not being upfront about them having a child WOULD. I get what Matt was saying about whether he's been conditioned to think women should give up their identity when they become mothers, but I think this is more about a lifestyle you would need to embrace to date someone with a child than anything else. I think Jessica choosing to do it this way was unfair and I understand why Jimmy would feel blindsided.

Moy

It’s definitely an intentional choice and you see in a lot of reality tv. It’s an easy way to use longstanding stereotypes to trigger people’s unconscious bias to sell a dramatic storyline, bonus outrage points if it’s a villainous black man who ends up with a white woman.

Lois Molina

“But I have a child!” Alyssa was so annoying! Now Duncan is living his best life with Evelyn.

Chelsea Raycraft

Why do they not show Matthew saying the same thing he said to AD to Amber? I want to see the video EVA-dence !

Hollan Read

Matthew’s neck is the same size as his head. It just adds to his general ick. And YES he was totally love bombing her.

Val McCue

C’mon Queens, if he looks like a meathead, talks like a meathead, and has ‘meatheaded’ answers to questions, then he’s probably a meathead! My god, those 5 favorite things he mentioned 😵‍💫 he should had followed by saying: “slap my ass and call me Nick Cliché” 🙄

Val McCue

Yup! I agree, and he’s got that je ne sais quoi ‘family annihilator’ Poodle references often.

Hollan Read

I don’t like Jimmy but Jess needs therapy, not a husband. It’s one thing to put yourself on this show, but to bring your 11 year old into it and be like “Here’s your new daddy. I’ve known him a month.” That’s demented.

Brittany Walsh

Teen mom at age 15 👋🏻 In real life, it would be psychotic not to be upfront about having a child for multiple dates, and no guys would EVER think 'gee, I'm so glad you kept that from me for X amount of dates until you got me so hooked that I decided to look past the 'kid thing''. In LIB, eh. It's a weird tv show experiment, and I can see why she wouldn't say it in the very first meeting for each guy. Many of them would immediately nope out- and they'd surely warn each other, so the rest of her dates would walk in already thinking 'nope, no way-- I didn't sign up for kids and there are 20 other options here without having to make a HUGE life decision on top of the the huge decision to get married'. Personally, I think she should've told the 'keepers' on date 2, otherwise you're going to paint yourself into a corner and either have to lie, or admit it because you have to when certain questions are asked and you can't lie. She seems very peeved about it all, like she doesn't understand why the men she dates keep writing her off because of her child. I'm happy she loves her daughter so much and thinks that everyone else would also love her if they gave it a chance... but it's just not fair to keep that from people when they haven't said they'd be willing to date someone with kids. Some people aren't, and you just need to pick from the pool of guys who are open to it. That's just what happens when you're dating as a parent.

Brittany Walsh

I have an autistic son (6) and always try to remember that 'weird guys' are sometimes just grown up autistic kids. However... this guys is too strange and unsettling to fit under that benefit of the doubt umbrella. I don't understand him and the more I see of him, the more uneasy he makes me feel.

Mary Scheske

On the instruments only music... After 8 years of marriage, I figured out my husband has an auditory processing disorder when it comes to listening to words sung to music, which is why he prefers classical, lounge, or techno. Maybe that's what Matthew has.

Lily C

Childless woman, you should be upfront about having a child. It impacts such a large part of your life, and not everyone wants to be instant parent or a parent at all.

Monica Casey

Does Matthew think he’s on Bog Brother!?!? “I think I have America on my side”. Tf

ColeenSkygal0330

I’m giving my age away I kept yelling: STEVIE WINWOOD!!! Who started with *Spencer Davis Group, (Gimme Some Lovin’) then *Traffic, which produced one of my favorites, “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys,” *Blind Faith (w/Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, & Ric Grech) Stevie sang the hit: “Can’t Find My Way Home.” I think he left Blind Faith to be in a band with Ginger Baker. He then went solo, dropped the Stevie, & went to Steve. I started following him in the mid ‘60’s…..into present. I think I need a joint 😮‍💨😂

Hannah Goralewicz

So, im taking care of my parents, and living at home. I am always upfront about it. I let them know that my mom has been experiencing balance issues and my dad is still recovering from 5 knee surgeries. I want potential (Kimbally voice) partners to know that this is my situation and take it or leave it.

Hollan Read

No kids here, but I was thinking that. too. Like, it’s just a first date. You don’t even know if you like the person enough to have a second date. I think share as much as you want or don’t want on a first date. I guess it’s just different cause she’s on a show where the end goal is so specifically engagement and marriage.

Ben Koutsopoulos

When talking about marriage, we are discussing the roles we play in each other's lives. Having a child is super important for the discussion of compatibility, because as the person entering the relationship, you now need to fill two new and big roles instead of one. It should be addressed once they planned on meeting a second time. "Before we move forward...". That child should be just as much a part of the marriage/dating conversation as the two of them

Ben Koutsopoulos

Matthew is Tom Hardy from Legend, Trevor is the bear jew (yes that's his name) from inglorious bastards

__fieldnotes

I’d like to know if someone has a child *before* our first date

Aryn Happs

1000000% would tell someone about my child on the first date. Even before, actually. If I were dating again, my daughter would be the first thing I bring up. Because I want to protect her and my feelings. I don’t want to fall for someone and have this “secret” lingering, wondering if this person is going to accept that or not. I feel like waiting just creates a whole new layer of complexity. And honestly, if you go into this not wanting a man to look at your identity as being a mom, what’s going to happen when real life comes around? You are a mom. You take care of your child and put your child first (at least that’s what I get from Jessica by the way she was talking). I don’t know, I just don’t understand her thought process, but that’s okay. It’s not for me to understand 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rayana Gilbert

It would be really sad and crushing to get close to someone and find out they not only don’t want kids, but are hurt that you didn’t tell them in the first place so idk

Danielle K

Matty… I wish you’d come out with a Therapy Podcast… that would get a listen from me for sure!

Danielle K

I think as for the mother conversation… being a mother. This should have been discussed second date max…. Depending how intimate the first date/ conversation went. If it’s just about you as an individual then just talk about that…. Being a mom isn’t your whole personality. Also a lot of men do look at a woman with a child as having baggage, in a negative way… like they want someone to take care of them and their child. I think it really comes down to a case by case bases.

Tay

I was a single mother in my early 20s with a baby!! I always think of someone’s upbringing and experiences in takes that may be controversial because no one experiences things the same! Now…as for me when I dated in the mid 2010s I had “mother to son” in my tinder bio. A man swiped right, we married, adopted my son, and popped out 3 more kiddos! People meant to be in your space won’t give a rip what comes in your luggage in life! ❤️

Ash Tanner

We were one tech/IT sales conference away from never needing this season. Why’s everyone got the same job on this season?!

Steph 👩🏻‍🦰

I agree! It is so weird to say “she’s the most important thing in my life” and then not mention it for several dates. I think she was afraid of being rejected because of having a kid, but she made it a self-fulfilling prophecy by waiting for so long and making it into a “secret”

Steph 👩🏻‍🦰

For REAL! He gave me Dennis Reynolds from “always Sunny” vibes Lolol. With his weird questions on the first date, and then when a woman asked HIM he was like “well I’m the one asking questions, I was not planning on answering them!” Wtf.

Megan MacKenzie

I dated a guy when I was 22 and he was 33. We had been hooking up and going on dates for like a month and I find out on Facebook that he had a daughter. Not only that, but in a couple months he was getting full custody of her! I was confused why he didn’t tell me something so huge when he had told me other very deeply personal things. It almost felt like lying by omission. I was too young to handle that kind of responsibility for sure, and he needed someone more mature to handle it. But I do wish he had told me instead of me finding out. In my opinion, If there are people who see you having kids as a red flag, THAT is the red flag you are looking for. You don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t like/want kids… you already have them. How is that gonna work?! It’s also a huge part of your life, and you have to allow people to make a decision for themselves if they are up to it!

Sheila Leigh

Chatty Cathy was a doll that talked. I only know that because my dad calls my mom that and she hates it!! But that’s her name and she never stfu!! lol 😂

Mads

I am a childfree woman by choice. I 100% think that should be told to someone right off the bat. Because yes, you can be an amazing person, but if you have a child, that completely changes things. Why create an opportunity for someone to fall for you not knowing if they want kids or not, especially when it’s a lifelong commitment.

MicaS

It's funny b/c on Mary Payne's podcast she referred to it immediately as "that Steve Winwood song."

Sam Lo

It’s a tough one. The judgement single parents, especially single moms, go thru in dating is so real. And at the same time, hiding it feels like it defeats the purpose. Jessica is essentially saying, “I want to wait until you like me enough to, what, not care that I come with a kid…” I personally don’t care if a romantic partner has a kid or not. But if they do, that kid is a part of my family too. It’s a package deal and I’m happy about that, not just accepting it. She needs to have the confidence that she and her daughter are wonderful and to seek out guys who will welcome both from the start.

J Moore

I am with Poodle. I liked Matthew with AD, but I realized that AD is me when I was young...total fixer. My husband of 22 years was very intense when we first met, but I actually fell in love with him after one long phone call and a long date. And he wasn't my type at all. It was very much love despite his appearance. He was attractive, just not my type. Now he is!! :)

J Moore

I think Trevor is hot but he's soooo dopey. I couldn't handle the simplicity.

Laura Vega

Confession: I think Matthew is hot and I would climb him like a tree. 🥵 That doesn’t mean I think he’s a good person…which makes it hotter.

TT

I totally get that! I dated a guy when I was 22 he was 28, never told me until I called out the Pampers in his apartment!

mess_this_blessica

As a cis woman bisexual sissy: You had better tell me immediately if you have kids or want them. I had horrible parents, I have no interest in trying to actively be a parent every single day for my life - I have to parent myself through every single day. Let’s not waste each other’s time. This goes for people who have kids and who don’t want them.

Lisa F

Matthew highly annoyed me in the beginning with his “pick a number” list and seemingly so closed off and not able to answer same questions when asked. But when AD was able to get him to open up and you could see him physically relax; it seemed liked a beautiful opening up of how certain people can tap something inside of someone and give them freedom to be comfortable with expressing their real selves. I admit to crying at their last date in this episode where it seemed like two people fully accepting each other and growing into love; especially after Clay’s admitted hangup of looks. Did NOT see that coming that Matthew was feeding the same lines to someone else! WTF!!!!!!

Lauren Anderson

I do not have children, but I’m a full time nanny (been with the same family for 4 years, I spend 50+ hours a week with their kids) and I can’t stfu about them even if I want to😆 I swear sometimes my friends are like “can you stop talking about the kids that aren’t even yours” internally lollll. So yeah, I don’t understand Jessica in that way 😬 I really wanted to like her after watching multiple episodes but this just threw me off

Breanna K. Williams

And if you've ever seen pictures of Onika Minaj before surgery, she didn't fit the body type she perpetuates either. Now part of her hysteria is trying to keep up the image she created, while rhyming foot with foot apparently 🤣

erin.vip

I AM SO HAPPY THIS SH!T SHOW IS BACK!!! 🥳🙌🏼🤩🤣🥂 “Love is bliiiiiiiind!”🎤🎶

Ashley Goodwin

As a mom I would never go on this show. It’s so crazy to marry a man that you’ve known for a month and to involve your child in that. Im not the type that always talks about my child but I would definitely tell someone on the first date.

sara castro

Tardy to the party… but does anyone else get Rodney Alcala vibes from Matthew??? Serial killer in LA that went on the Dating show

Jeida Mitchell

Finally watching. It feels selfish that Jessica is on this show. Now just for her daughter but for the dudes too. Like you’re totally putting them on the spot. And why would you even want to consider being with someone you don’t know is good with being a step dad. And even if he is, like 4 weeks? Or to dad in 4 weeks. No. No go everyone involved.

Linsey Levy

I said to my husband this guy will be a "c-list celebrity" as a subject of a serial killer podcast series one day

Linsey Levy

Yes. It makes sense to wait a date or two in real life, but on a reality show with such an accelerated timeline, you need to just lay it out there. Who knows though, maybe the producers coached her. She probably wanted to stay off long enough to get a few IG ad deals

Mary

STEVIE WINWOOD SANG HIGHER LOVE FIRST!!! LOL

Marquetta aka Marq

I am new to LIB and I watched the first 6 episodes in one sitting. I won’t be shocked if we see Matthew on ID channel in a couple of years. AD is too good for any of the men on this show Clay is such a Fuck boi. I hate how he weaponizes therapy speak to deflect his bad behavior Chelsea needs therapy not marriage I have mixed feelings about Jessica. I’m not mad at her being in the show and telling someone about your child is a personal decision Trevor is a goofy but I think he and Chelsea is a good match

Carissa Mattern

I saw a Tiktok that called Jimmy the adult human version of Bart Simpson and I can't unsee it.

SneakyMoo

My husband had my stepson in his dating profile, so I knew from the beginning what he was looking for. But he didn't let me meet his son until he was sure we were serious, which I fully understood and respected.

Taya Zeig

In regards to the “mom” thing: if you’re a parent (mom OR dad) and just dating for fun, nothing with commitment, then no, I don’t think it absolutely has to be mentioned right away. But in this scenario, when marriage is just a few weeks away, I think it should probably come up in the first date.

Bobson Dugnutt

LMAO YES Dennis would absolutely say the "I wasn't planning on answering any questions" line

Bobson Dugnutt

So, my current partner is in "wealth management" & is not a sociopath, but he only got into it because his friend had a connection and it was the only way he could start paying off his college debt -- he grew up very poor, like, on and off food stamps in Arkansas, if that gives you an idea. however, Matthew reminds me of an ex of mine who definitely WAS a sociopath, so there's that Also, I think AD was open to Matthew because she's a Bostonian, we're used to people that are "tough nuts to crack" (hard to tell the difference between that and a genuine asshole tbh)

Kelli Cvercko

Single mom here. While I also don’t see my first identity as “mom”, I am 100% up front that I have a kid. They need to know that this is part of how my life functions. No I can’t always do some spontaneous trip, or meet you out last minute. It speaks to how you function day to day, and people you are seeing need to know that and decide if that’s for them, or if their lifestyle is for me. Now if you don’t want to be up front, that’s your choice, but I don’t think you get to feel any kind of way if you felt a connection but then this massive bit of info changes that for them. To me it would feel like you hid a pretty important thing to rope me in and hope I liked you enough that this surprise wouldn’t matter. It very much matters and is a part of who we are.

Amy Diehl

Mama here.. I don't know how I would have handled the kid thing. All moms and kids are different & as long as she isn't putting her kid in danger or intentionally keeping it from someone, she can choose what she wants to do. I kinda agree w her that she wants him to get to know her first but I never thought of the dating app thing. This is different than a dating app so it's hard to judge 🤷‍♀️. Definitely need to tell them sooner rather than later though. Especially since you only have like a week to decide!

Amy Diehl

Chris Cornell convo cracked me up 😂😂

TheKettralWingLeader10

Sorry if you’re dating seriously then that needs to come up on date number one - let’s not waste each others time
