I mentioned on our first or second date that I did not want kids. They were not as strong in stating it but I received no push back. So I assumed they were ok with it.

In the end they revealed that they thought that I would eventually grow up and want kids.

That relationship ended about 12 years ago.

Since then I have been more like yourself. I make sure early on that any possible partner knows that this is something that will not change.
