A BIG SWEETIE: Hello! I wanted to see if you had any thoughts on when to discuss kids when starting a relationship. I haven't ever wanted to have kids and while I thought that might change the older I got, I'm past 30 now and still feel very strongly that I don't want kids. I don't want to waste anyone's time if they are looking to start a family, but it often feels weird to bring up long term plan stuff on the first few dates as you're just getting to know each other and aren't even sure if it's going anywhere. At the same time what's the point in waiting if there is a potential deal-breaker in the future? Isn't it better to know earlier?
