Dear Queenie,
I’m in my 20s and I don’t know if I will ever want to have children. When I go out with someone more than once or twice the question of children usually comes up and I don’t know what to say.
Queenie, how can I know for sure? And until I do, what should I say?—Undecided about kids
Dear Undecided,
It is quite common for someone your age to not know whether they will ever want to be a parent. For the time being, tell your date you might want to have children someday, but you are not ready for that yet.
And if you become so close to anyone that there is a possibility of pregnancy, be sure to take precautions to prevent that from happening by accident.
