So, if you have kids is it possible to game while you have them or is better to just let it ride until your weekend is done and say no game for now?

I have two kids and I find it almost impossible to work game with them. They aren't the cute adorable babies. They are 3 and 6. I love my kids but honestly they are also awesome cock blockers. Hell, as I write this I have one crying to play dolls and the other crying to be on the computer because he saw me on here. Don't get me wrong. I'll happily take care of my fatherly duties when I'm done. I love them. It's just hard sometimes.

A perfect example is a couple of months ago I took them to a fall festival. They get in the facepainting line and when we get to them getting their face painted I start talking to the cute volunteer whose painting their faces. I could see she was into me with her body language. We chatted and I found out she was in college for biology and had spent some time in Oregon. I talked to her about how I always wanted to go to Oregon. She had this great little hippy vibe I just wanted to bang the shit out of. I was closing in on getting her number then she finished. As I'm about to ask I hear, "Daddy let's go to the pumpkin ride!" I talk a few seconds more then I start hearing it over and over again. I can't stand around any longer because I'd look like an ass. I had no time to get a number because by this time another kid was getting their face painted. Chance lost. I tried finding openings and a way to get down to the face painting again the rest of the festival. But every time I'd try to make a move toward it the kids would start bitching. I knew by that time anyway it was over. I had now become frustrated and out of my game. Any other attempt I would have made wouldn't have been genuine. I probably would have come off as a desperate dad.

I have tried a couple of other approaches since then, but with no luck. I find I have to do it quick and maybe too quick. I can't talk them up for minutes. I have literally a few seconds to get their attention and then at tops a couple of minutes to see if I can get a number.

So, any advice from other dads or examples of game with kids?

Easy -- game single mothers. They'll also be with kids, and will understand if you need to pause your game for a minute to deal with a screaming kid. Have you tried playgrounds, and the play areas at malls?

No.But that also presents a problem I've seen. They also have to deal with their kids. It's like today in Wally World. I saw a cute chick. Around my age. I was in an intersection and her kids and my kids were basically out in space. I turn one way and she turns another and bam she gives me a smile and says "My kids are asleep." I say, "Mine are too." She laughs. I notice no ring on the finger but she moves on. I think to myself I'm going to hit that up here in a bit.

A little while later, I don't see her. But I take my kids to the toy section. Two minutes later, she shows up with her kids. I'm like this is my opening. But it wasn't. She ended up being busy as hell with hers and it never left an opening. I was just left thinking how the hell do I get in with this chick? I just horded up my kids a little later and moved on.

Playgrounds and play area malls may be better. They offer opportunities where the women aren't busy. Haven't had much luck in those though. Women are usually so fucking lasered in on the kids they don't want to socialize.

That would get me started on a fucking rant about how modern women are overprotective. I'll not go into that bullshit.

I think you should go for the earliest chance you have to get her number.It's obvious to her if the kids are there that you don't have time to sit around and chat.Perfect understandable excuse.As soon as you realise there is some attraction or interest let her know by maybe stating you would like to continue the conversation or flirt with her later when you have time alone.

I think it's worth giving playgrounds/play areas a try. Everyone is sitting around, and you'll look good if you're there actively playing with your kids instead of sitting there playing with your phone. Then, take one of your kids to play on the equipment some chick's kid is playing on, and it's a good opener.. especially if one kid or the other does something to make the parent want to apologize.

I've got kids of a similar age, and they make it easy. My 5yo daughter is very extroverted and often approaches women with some random comment, so that's the opening done for me. It sounds like you're getting this far, but perhaps using the kids as an excuse not to escalate.

The kids are obviously going to want your attention and try to drag you away, but you've just got to make them wait until you've done what you need to do ie get the number or set up a date. Don't let them lead you around by the nose - Who's the boss? You, or the kids?

Well they know who the boss is. Lol. But I'm afraid if looking like a complete ass in front of a woman if I'm telling them to hush.

I'm of the firm belief children should be seen and not heard (my own upbringing personally). So you can take this advice with a grain of salt.

I used to try and pick up chicks when i had my little brother with me. He was between the ages of 4 and 6. I was roughly 16-17 at the time. Young, got a car w/ license, yeah high school was awesome. When I would babysit him we would go out to the mall or some playgrounds. I would open chicks, but he would get bashful (beta behavior at a young age....). I would always use his bashfulness against him and say, "Hey there is a pretty lady here that we're trying to talk to."

Children are like your own beta orbiters, but their helplessness is real as opposed to fake. Just play them off of the woman socially and watch them get embarrassed and blush. Just play everyone off of each other and your "alpha street cred" will be verified

I've felt your pain as a single parent. I've bypassed some opportunities by being in "dad mode". You make good points about feeling like you are on the clock when you have your kid in tow. Nowadays, I go ahead and shoot my shot and let the chips fall. My son usually has a set of Beat by Dre stuck to his ears and engulfed in his music, so I use the opportunity to open a chick through normal convo.

Many times her "bitch mode" is disabled because she sees that you are doing the daddy thang. I've seen the nurturing nature of some women come out when they become aware that I'm a single dad. It mos definitely can be worked in your favor. The most resistance that i've personally encountered is after I chat with a chick, she starts to feel my vibe and her hamster starts sprinting like Usain Bolt. At this point, I usually get the "You seem like a cool guy and a great dad, so why are you single"?

For nightgame, I've been able to use parenthood game to my advantage. Since I'm "trapped" at home and my son is "dozing off", if she wants to see me she has to come to the dragon's lair. The entrance fee is always a big bottle of my favorite drink, I have a side entrance to my room and she leaves before he awakes.

This video is a brief guide to gaming with kids:

I don't game with my kids because I don't want my ex wife doing the equivalent thing when they are with her. When we got divorced one of the deals we made is that neither one of us would expose the kids to our dating until we were serious with someone.

I have no need to get into an LTR now, so I doubt I'll be introducing the kids to anyone in the near future.

We share custody 50/50, giving me plenty of time to game when the kids are with their mother. Business trips are when I do a lot of it.
