Someone I dated for 2 months found out I am childfree and refuses to date me now. This is so weird to me lol

I don’t mention being CF on dates because it’s weird lol, but there is a Facebook poll in one of my groups, “Would you date someone that doesn’t want kids?” (Yes/No).<br><br>This was a post I saw yesterday on my Facebook feed, and I clicked no. I accidentally posted it on my wall for like 5 minutes. It got taken down immediately after when I saw what I did. <br><br>This was right after a date with a guy, we’ve gone on two dates. It was a full day date, we had a great time. He hasn’t made a move on me yet but he did text he wanted to see me again. I was excited, I thought we had great chemistry. <br><br>Then I get a text this morning. “Hey I saw your Facebook post about not wanting kids. I have to be honest, that changes things. My goal is to have kids one day. It’s a big deal to me. I’m not going to pursue things anymore.” <br><br>Me: “Okay, thanks for letting me know!” <br><br>Him: “I thought it was weird you posted it, aren’t you single? So I scrolled up and saw all the other times you’ve posted about it. My cousin is in the same situation as you, and refuses to date anyone with kids. I don’t blame you, but I can imagine dating someone without kids would be hard if you have kids too. I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t want kids. It is a big part of my life. Maybe we can be friends?” <br><br>Me: “That’s okay, no we won’t be friends. But thank you for asking me out and I wish you luck in your endeavour for kids :).” <br><br>Then I blocked his number. I feel bad because he is a nice guy and I don’t want to lead him on. But it would be so hard to be friends with someone after I was interested in being with them romantically. <br><br>I guess it’s a little frustrating because I think if I had posted I want kids, he’d think that was “cute” and I’d probably get a text saying he wants to see me again. “Let’s try for kids together, it’ll be fun!”. But I posted I don’t want kids, and it suddenly makes me a bad person. <br><br>This is a pretty cut and dry childfree story. I just thought it was crazy how someone would judge me when they didn’t even know me. It’s not like I posted I hate kids! Just that I don’t want them. <br><br>IMO, it’s worse to want kids but not want to take care of them. People who are on the fence should be more concerned about not wanting to take care of their kids than someone who knows they don’t want kids.
