It’s actually pretty easy.

Tell her “If your son was a problem, or if that were too much for me, I would have bailed as soon as you told me. The fact that I’m still here should tell you something.”

That ^^ ALONE should be enough to make her at least CONSIDER letting her guard down.

I mean think about it. Is she just gonna be single for the rest of her life because she fears that a man MIGHT WALK OUT on her? She’s gonna give a guy a chance EVENTUALLY, so it might as well be a guy who’s actually WORTH it. (i.e. YOU)

The LAST thing she’d want to is to keep you OUT, then REGRET it because you’re a good guy, then let her guard DOWN for the NEXT guy, letting HIM IN, then get HURT because HE really WAS a bad guy.

There’s a whole section about this in my book actually. Rule #8 is “The Walls You Put Up”. It’s all about how women work, the walls they put up, shutting out the RIGHT guys, and letting in the WRONG ones.

I think you should just relax, and not try to push it. Just continue to get closer to her, and show her your true colors. Then, when the time is right, she’ll know she can TRUST you.

Just beware, SOME women are too scared to let you in no matter HOW good you seem. So, you can’t FORCE it.

In fact, trying to convince her she SHOULD give you a chance, is sometimes worse than just saying “Well, I’m not into games. I’m a grown man. I won’t leave you. But if you can’t trust that, then I will respect your wishes and pursue someone else.”

She’ll likely change her tune a little bit, if she feels like she’s LOSING you.

Dear B-rad,

You can be good to her. It’s that simple. I think it would be inappropriate for you to purport to be anything but a friend to her in front of your son, and would probably be easier if you didn’t even meet him if and until you are “serious.”

You don’t have any control over her behavior, only your own. Be good to her and respect that because she is a parent she has many more demands on her time that someone who is not a parent.

Sincerely,

Brad

Your woman friend is wise to be careful. It is very hard on children to develop a relationship with a new man and then have him walk out.

The key to developing trust with this woman is not to push the thing with her son but continue to see the mom and over time if you the two of you seeing a permament comitment then and only then should you be introduced to the son.

Blessings on you and yours

B-rad,

The saying goes like this, “The proof is in the pudding.” – I married a woman with a son already. My wife told me many years after I married her that one of the primary deciding factors to her wanting to marry me was my apparent affection toward her son. I would babysit him for her and take him out with me sometimes. This demonstrated to her that I was just as much interested with him being in my life as I was with her. This will be her security and your determining factor. This will show her your true intentions. I hope this helps. God bless.

Cinique’ Scott
