His Bed or Yours?

The bedroom is a pretty sticky place (no pun intended) for some of us.  We need our things to be just the way we like it.  Are you the type that likes to keep your things untouched and perfect?  For example do you always prefer to go to her house to spend cozy evenings together in bed or is it equal?  If its not equal you need to start asking yourself some serious questions about commitmnet. 

If the sharing is an issue of your place not mines, maybe you should switch it up to even things out or evaluate the seriousness of where you are.  I wouldnt go jumping up and down about it but a easy suggestion in the direction of switching bedrooms should happen.  If that conversation is rejected; dont get upset but dont reward bad behavior.  Simply cut off communication for a while to see where that persons level of commitment with you lies.  30 days or less will tell all.

Where are you sleeping right now with your significant other?  Your place or his?  I'd like to know what you think about this hit me right here on "The Dating Factor".

With Child or Without? Thats the Question.

Most women and men have a list of preferences that are deal breakers when dating the opposite sex.  Some people wont date a person who lives in another state, has a roommate or doesn't make a certain amount of money.  But what happens when your deal breaker is dating someone who has a child from a previous relationship?  For quite a few people this is a deal breaker. 

I've had the experience of dating someone who had a child and I must say it was more trouble than it was worth.  Heres why this can be troublesome:  When your single with out children you pretty much do whatever you want to do.  However if you mix a single person with no children and a single person with children you get unequality.  Theres sometimes a conflict with scheduling of time, no spontaneous meetings or too many unplanned meetings.  The feeling of settling started to enter my mind and after a while it felt like I never left my job.  I have to say it wasn't a whole lot of fun. 

I'd be interested in reading what you have to say about this.  Obviously this is a deal breaker for me.
If your new romantic interest has a child is it a deal breaker for you?
