Should have walked over to the real father on the couch like a crab and swiped at him in order to assert your male dominance.

Personally if it was me, I would get the hell out of there even if she is the nicest person in the world. Don't want any of that awkward shit in my life. You need to consider whether the woman outweighs all the negatives that come from the relationship.

You obviously don't have experience of both types of relationship and shouldn't be giving out childish advice to someone who's in a genuine problem.

I put my real input at the end. Lighten up.

Sorry, I feel quite strongly about this having been in exactly the situation of the OP, but the father didn't give a damn about the kid and I was basically his dad in some ways. We split up, it got messy. Sorry for being rude.

One more thing to consider and something that I didn't is how you would feel if you did become attached to the kid and then you split up. I miss my ex-girlfriend's kid and don't see him anymore.

That's just something to remember, dating someone with kids is definitely a thing some people don't like doing and I respect that, it is hard work at times. But it's not going to ruin your life and it's not something you need to think about once you've decided you can do it.

It's just very important to decide if you can do it before doing it. It's really not that "bad". It's just different.
