[any man would be terrified of dating someone with three kids who is 37. Would men actually date someone with that much baggage?}

No offense, but the bigger problem may be that you see your kids as "baggage". I am older than you, have 3 kids, and had little problem finding someone to date after my 20 year marriage ended. Take some time to yourself. When you're no longer terrified & see your kids as something besides baggage, you will likely become more attractive. While everyone is entitled to preference, and some men may not be interested in dating anyone with kids, it's about attitude. Good luck!

because I got the best gift a man can ever give u -- a beautiful healthy baby.

Hmmm that's going to set the bar awfully high for the next guy isn't it? How is the next guy(s) going to feel knowing they can never give you something as good...?

Or, you could reverse it and say the woman gave the last guy the best gift a woman can ever give a man, a beautiful healthy baby. Now that makes the new guy feel even worse, lol! Sorry......

Unless of course the woman has children with the new guy, also, then that would heal both types of wounds, maybe, a little bit....

If a guy loved me and my child well I really couldn't ask for more that would be the greatest gift. The next guy could give me the best gift ever he could give me another child maybe 2 more and be a wonderful father. I have one child I wanted at least two if not three. After seeing how "some" men view other men's children I really don't even know if I want to date.

I don't want anyone viewing my daughter as baggage or a burden. So the bar is really high for the next guy. I probably won't date and maybe it'll just be me and my lil one which is okay with me. My first priority is keeping my daughter safe and taking care of her needs. I wanted a child because I really wanted to become a mother. It was just unfortunate for me that my ex changed his mind about wanting to be a father.

my three children are the greatest gift i have ,, i have all the love a man can ask for ,,
i welcome any woman with children to come and play have fun , join us for soda and cakes .
we make a point of having fun every day , shopping all the time .
yes my life is full and a bit lonely , but i have all the love a man can want.
at 52 years old my heart is very young and wise.
trouble is women my age or younger have, had, or do not want children.
their loss not mine.

To me, it would depend on the quality of the relationship between the mother and the kids. If they were respectful and caring towards each other and it was a healthy relationship, then I wouldn't have an issue with dating a women with several kids.
If it was an unhealthy and disrespectful relationship within the family, I wouldn't even consider it at all.
I've been down that road of dating a single mother with one teenage son who were and still are disrespectful towards each other. It is the worst relationship I've ever seen between a mother and a son...and of course they treated me the same way.

I think a man will! Not every man though will. Having young children at my age CAN factor in the percentage of eligible men whom are interested in dating me. And remember, they have to LIKE ME FIRST and then ALSO like the kid scene. I love my kids and I will always gladly remember them FIRST. It is just sometimes harder to date when one has kids. They are worth it of course!

I know that I have met many nice guys who upon learning that I had small children told me that they thought that given my age they assumed my children would be older, more teen aged or even out of the house at this point. That they had themselves had gotten married young and had kids who at this point were almost grown. That while they liked me and they liked the kids, they just didn't want to "start all over again" with some so young. Of course, it does make a BIG difference in the OP's age and my age. I am looking at another age set of men probably. The younger mothers might have an easier time because a younger man may be more open to being a first time dad or have children that are youngish also.

Good luck and happiness to all the mothers, fathers and children in the world!

I just finished dating a women with 3 kids, the only problem was that she just came out of a 9 yrs relationship 3 months before. I love kids and have none of my own but I didn't care. There was alot more behind the story on her side but if your a guy/or women.. Take my advice don't get to attached to them and don't let her / him introduce you to them right away. I spent the whole spring and summer with them , seeing them once to 3 times a week. I loved her so much, beautiful lady, great kids, then after a little arguement it was all done. If you do something like this, make sure they have there stuff together and you don't do through what i did. Its alot easier for the one with the 3 kids to get over it. But when your the one thats been there for everything from weekly hospital trips for one childs illness, to having to be hidden because of a small town and her reputation. Then it gets hard, trust me. She loses one person, I have to get over losing 4. Just a note from experience.

well...it's going to be tough but there's someone out there for everyone. just remember out here in the dating world is very tough for the single people, just be very, very, very patient and deal with the lonliness and don't date a guy if your lonely because then he'll probably just use you. just be very patient. most men don't want to deal with 3 children but there are some but that requires patience on your part and not going after someone that clearly doesn't want someone else's children. and if you do meet a guy go extremely slow.
