My friend or tinder guy...

I’ve met a nice guy on tinder I liked him and we met a few times.

He’s cool, treats me well and the most important I like spending time with him.

Last weekend I’ve decided to introduce him to my friends and ended up that he have matched a friend of mine on tinder before me and he ghosted her after knowing she have kids.

I only knew about it at the same night I’ve introduced him to her.

She was upset about it and to be honest I was very disappointed.

I had a few drinks and confronted him that night about it and he told me he was not comfortable to be with someone that has kids because his not ready for this type of responsibility but didn’t know how to tell my friend (which he didn’t remember).

I understood his side of the story and now my friend asked me to not hang out with him because of what he did and I don’t know how to deal with it.

He’s very sweet and it’s willing to get to know me better now I’m in between him and my friend.

What would you do if you were me?
