Dating with children

Its so hard to date with children. Ive been trying online dating the past few weeks and it has been TOUGH. I get matches which is anoying because they clearly arent reading my profile which states I have children. When I bring it up when we start chatting they seem surprised and the conversation becomes inconsistent or they ghost me. I finaly had one HONEST person yeaterday tel me that the dating someone with 3 children takes a lot of adjustments and hed have to be realy in love to do it again. I respect that. It just sucks that it has to be so hard� Okay enough of this thanks for reading.
