If someone is divorced, in my book that's not a reason to write him off. No, I like to write men off for concrete flaws like yawning weird or holding a fork the wrong way or saying "porridge." But the fact is I don't want to date a man with kids at this stage in my life. I like children fine, and I'm sure I'll love my own someday. But they add a layer of complication to a relationship that I'd just rather not deal with.

The way parents love their kids, the way you love a puppy or chocolate ice cream or home or your favorite book or your sister. Or your uncle. There's those kinds of love and then there's the other kind. The falling kind.
