<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I'm 18 and I have been dating this guy who's 21 for about two months. A few weeks ago a mutual friend told me he had a kid. I brought it up to him, he was angry that he didn't get the chance to tell me himself, and all of that. However he was willing to talk about it, and let me ask whatever I wanted. Basically he got a girl pregnant when he was about 19...it was accidental, however they kept the baby. They tried to make it work but they fought a lot. I know he paid child support, but I don't know what the situation is on that now. It sounds like he was there to help, but now he has no relationship with the child at all. He also told me he wasn't even sure if it was his, or at least he never got a paternity test. Whenever he would bring it up to the mother, she would try to avoid getting it done. So that might be telling him something? He said he's tried going to her house to talk to her about it again (he doesn't have her number or anything) but she's either not home or there's some guy's truck there.  

It came as a surprise to me because he goes out A LOT, not the most responsible, but I don't expect him to be either. I'm fine with the going out and stuff, I just feel like there's something wrong about it now that I know about the kid. I'm not sure what it is yet. The general feeling I get from him is he kind of had some rocky years, but has been working on it and now starting to get over it. He just got a new job and is going to school soon. We also get along really well, and everything would be fine if this hadn't come up.

However, I'm not sure if it's wise for me to be getting into this. I'm very responsible, I have always been careful as hell when it comes to sex because a kid is the last thing I want right now. I'm going to college in the fall and got into the school of my dreams. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Or if not, what you would suggest?
<bot>: Should I date someone with a kid, even if they have no relationship, when I'm 18 and starting college soon?
