Should it matter?

Yes I am new to this site and not sure what the age range is on these boards. I hope I have some people of the same age.

But this isnt really a problem situation but it is. Ive met this amazing person who literally rocks my world. As I do hers she told me so. there is only two problems though sort of. 1) she lives in another state and 2) she has a child.

Now ive never done the long distance relationship thing but we both seem to be commited because this just all feels so right. But I have no experience with kids and im worried if im ready for fatherhood. yes I can accept the child but am I ready?? I know this is a question I have to answer myself. But I am so lost and I know a child should not change my mind about somone and really my mind isnt changing. I guess this is a bunch of what ifs...

You really won't know if you're ready for this unless you try. You should speak to the girl about it, tell her your worries and make sure she understands. I am only 17, but i know what it is like as the child. You didn't say how old the child is, but to accept someone in your mums life is difficult, and this may be harder if there is a long distance between you. If the child is not an issue in this way, then I think the long distance thing can work if you try. This may not for everyone, but if you care about her this much, then there really is no harm in trying.

I agree with Bob.. if you really think you love her, then accept everything that comes with her. Period. But if you don't think your ready then give it time, and let it progress, interact with her child and see what comes out of it, you never know if the child is the coolest thing in the world. :P

I'm with bob too, If you love her accept everything that comes with her. If you don't think your ready give it time ,talk to her about everything your worried about.
