Is John stupid to think he has a chance with me?

FYI: I make it clear that I want to date a man between 36-45. John is 50. Well over a decade older than me. Making him quite 'old' for my tastes.

John (age 50): Would you make an exception in regards to the age preference?

Me (age 38): Hi John, I guess it's true that men prefer to date women who are much younger than them.

John (age 50): You're a bit younger than me. But your age had nothing to do with my interest in contacting you. I decided to contact you because I really like your profile.

Me (age 38): Oh, ok then. So what are you looking for. I would like to marry and have children.

John (age 50): I would like to marry. But kids, I'm not sure. I really love my nephews, but having my own kids. I'm not sure about that. I'm looking forward to having some really great conversations with you.

    He is not hearing you wanting children. You need a man wanting children, not dilly-dallying. You are not OLD, but you need your children now, in the next year or three. NOT too much later. 45 is about the latest to sensibly have a child. IMHO anyway. 

    But kids,STRIKE ONE

    I'm not sure. STRIKE TWO

    but having my own kids STRIKE THREE but a FOUL BALL. 

    I'm not sure about that. SWING AND A MISS HE'S OUT!

    I don't think 50 is too old for you. At age 49, my wife was 38... but I don't know him. I'm still a teenager. (our 18 y.o. son says he sees me more as a brother than a father...)

    Maybe he's ok with having a child.
