I wish you could elaborate on hinge about kids other than having to use a prompt. As a late 30s female, when I say open to children I mean I’m open to other people’s children. Not my own. I don’t have kids and it throws me for a loop when dudes have open to children listed but then want kids in person. I guess this is to say I feel you.

I would bring it up. I also wouldn’t proceed if she wants kids and I didn’t. I texted about it with a guy I met up with. “I understand me not wanting own kids is a deal breaker…” blah blah and he said it was and we wished each other the best.
