Having said that, I can not remember the empty live I lead before my son and daughter were born. Despite the religious, philisophical, and scientific reasoning, to me the meaning of life is to pass on our knowledge to the next generation and to nurture them and prepare them for life (you don't have to be a parent to do this either).

I do have an issue with the fact that you have been seeing this girl for a few weeks and she has not mentioned it in the past. Being up front with someone and ending it that night due to the situation is always easier than a few weeks later when both parties have a bit more invested in the relationship. Kudos to her for raising her son on her own though. I could not imagine being a single parent.

If you really like the girl, don't hold the fact that she is a parent against her. Some of the best things in life happen to us when they are not planned or expected. This could be the path in life that will make you the happiest and most fullfilled.

Of course if you can't see yourself following this path at this time in your life, that is your call and one to not be ashamed of. Good knows I couldn't have done it at 22.

Good Luck, mate. That's a lot to absord.
