I'm pregnant and a guy wants to date me

Idalia

Yep, you've heard it right. Feels weird and flattering at the same time. You see, I'm almost 4 mos pregnant and this guy has been around for a couple of weeks. They've just moved like 5 blocks away from our house. Lately, he's been dropping by bringing some fruits and hangs out with me at home. I dunno, it feels great being able to talk to someone especially with my current situation...
Last night he invited me for a dinner this coming weekend. I told him I'd give him my sure answer this Friday...

Do you think dating while pregnant is ok? Seriously, I haven't heard of a pregnant woman dating until now. Do you think he really likes me or I should be cautious as he might just hurt me? Do I need to focus on my pregnancy first and say no to him? He's kinda nice...

Don't know if this it's a good thing or not...

I guess the only thing to do for you to know is to give it a try. Go out once and see how things go. Be careful though if you really do not know the person. Lots of weirdos around now.

If you want to then go on! From what you've said it sounds like he's a nice man. But a nice bloke is far different from a good person. Get to know him better. Dating isn't bad but hope that it won't affect your focus on your pregnancy and delivery. Also, it's ok to date but entering into a relationship isn't a good idea for now, IMHO.

Nothing wrong with that I believe. But be sure to prolong the friendship first letting him know that your child is your topmost priority. Hope your friendship blooms into something good!

Daja

Well, if I were in your position, I would be flattered as well! Imagine that! 4 months pregnant and with an admirer! You must be very sexy! ^^

Go out on a date with him and enjoy! A little caution will be always welcome but do not stress yourself out too much and just make the most of it.

WHOA! We have one hot momma in here!

Gemma

Enjoy things! I am sure it makes you feel special. I would!

Hey Idalia, during pregnancy we all want to feel special, right? I agree you could go out and date, but I strongly suggest that you just enjoy the company for now and make decisions or confirm any relationship status after you give birth. Decisions based on hormones not on sheer intuition or analysis could do you more harm than good. Your pregnancy, childbirth and the pressures of being a new mom to a newborn are very stressful. It's ok to date but please be "pickier" now that you're going to be a mom. Good luck!

A very big DITTO!

Oh, dear.
I know it's you and your baby's life. But since you've posted in here asking some advice then I'm very much willing to give my two cents.

No. Not a good idea.

You're having problems with your ex-bf, who happens to be the father of your unborn child, who eventually accepted his child and is very much willing to support the baby financially. You mentioned in here that you're still young. You've also stated that you haven't finished your studies as of yet. Come on, I don't believe that that guy just wants to have mere friendship with you. If you think he's a good guy, tell him beforehand that friendship is the best thing that you could offer. Decide on dating after you give birth. Other than that, please don't. Now is the time to pick up the pieces of your previous conflict. Now is the right time to focus on your baby who needs all the attention. Even moms who aren't first timers still learn from motherhood, what more with a young and first time mum like you? Honey, I've been divorced, got married, have 2 kids and is now hoping for one. Believe me, motherhood isn't easy. My kids have always been my priority. I'd give up everything for them. So please, whatever decision you're making, please always ask this question: "Is this the best for my baby?"
