Does anyone date single moms anymore?
Posted: 8/13/2007 11:11:54 PM
I think you are all missing the point....if you feel you have to "deal" in any way shape or form with the others children then it just isnt right for you.You are all saying valid points and some pretty retarded points aswell, but the fact of the matter is if the person is right for you be it a male or female then the children are a welcome bonus,something that is part of the package.accept it or dont.Guys will of course tend to shy away from someone who wants support...we want a strong woman who can stand on her own when she needs to that is sexy. but if you want to sit on the couch all day eating bon bons and watching your"shows" when you are perfectly able to get a job to support your children dont expect the offers to come in to often.so i guess after all this my point is "people will want to date you and accept your children when they see that they can rely on you as much as you can them"


P.S i love you all...Well the ladies that is :)

Flagal24 - Men do indeed date single mothers as there are women who will date single fathers, i can testify to that having found a lovely man on here....

I wont lie to you. there are men that see children as part of a package that they hadnt anticipated or they feel that they are expected to take on the role of father and so wont date a women with children

Keep the faith, you will find someone....

Agreed you shouldn't need anyone to make you happy, only you can do that. Forgiving and learning to accept yourself is no easy task but know your not alone. My exs cheated on me too but i also realised that i was to blame too, as i put everything into the relationship and lost sight of myself. My two exs both tried to get back with me but by that time i realised i wasn't up for being disrespected. Chin up sweety and enjoy time with your children and getting to know yourself better x

-maples guy...-

I think you said it best! I totally agree with you. People that see the other person with children as baggage or a negative thing or as something to have to deal with are not suited to be in that kind of relationship.

quiteone and icema65...
Yes I agree as well. I prefer dating woman with children. Even though I am sort of young I am perfectly fine with women with children.(Many think that younger people don't wish to "bother" with dating single parents). I've had a couple of relationships with women with children and it's great!

Buddy of mine shacked up with a single mom for a few years. She wasn't looking for a daddy for her kids. The relationship ended. She's recently served him with papers for child support--even though they're not his kids. The real dad doesn't pay a dime for child support. Something you guys might want to consider the next time you think about dating a single mom.

goosepad mienfowzen thats very common ,,they all say they would never do it ,but we all know men paying for children they didn't have ...certonly something to consider ,,and a pre nupt will not save you ,,children are not covered under a pre nupt agreement ..its the law..responsable men pay ...so a warning is in order here ..this is a canadian problem and the single with children stay single with children ...

many singles (guys and Girls) don't like dating single parents as they are worried in there mind about taking care of someone else's kids . and single parents think about that to some degree also I know I have two kids so if I date someone that turns out to be a real long term thing and she has one child that makes three kids I am responsible for (I would feel responsible weather asked or not) now if she has two two that would be four kids total and that is my personal limit nothing wrong with single parents that have more kids it just to much for me to handle

I am interested to know what liabilities single moms have that are so much worse than any liability anyone else has. Just curious. Not trying to pick a fight.

Could ya mention that is in CANADA-We single moms can't (like I ever would) do that here in states!

It is a Canadian thing as you can be forrced to pay child support for ex step child if you marry a single parent with custody of children and it does not work out. So yes it can be a liability.

By take care of you and your kids, do you mean that you want to sponge off a man?

Are are you willing to pull your weight financially and just mainly want support (emotional kind) and companioship?

If you seek a suger daddy, they have a site for that. And it is advertised on POF. Helps if you look like a model . The kids will be a problem. Rich guys want their own family to raise.

^^^^^^^^^^that is the problem single mom's start thrads asking why no one will date them and say someone should help them with their responsibilities and men get bashed for providing answers.

You want someone to support your children...do it youreslf!!! Or give the kids to the biological father!!!! Stop looking for someone to support you

I have to agree....Men do not like to hear a woman say" someone to take care of me and my child". As men, real men that is....we want to take care of our woman. But that only happens when the woman actually becomes our partner and we hers. If there is a child involved, its part of the package.
I have never had a problem dating a woman with a child(ren). Yes, alot of guys do. For me, the reasons we went our seperate ways was usually because her ex-husband/ex-boyfriend came back in the picture or I could see she was just using me for a free ride. But I never stopped dating woman with children.
But no matter how hard you think it is to get a date as a woman with a child, its much harder for a guy. Especially if he is 47 and has a 5 yr. old. But no regrets here. My son is the greatest, shown me how to be a kid again myself. Wouldnt trade this time in my life for anything. Good luck ladies. There is someone out there for us all........somewhere????????????

At least this guy is being Honest....not like most...they get with a girl and then they want all the attention and the children are to be put back burner..He says he would treat them as his ..and would INCLUDE them in his responsiblities. Not even some bio -daddies do that..no child support or any thing..He at least says he could step up to the plate and tell you up front his limits....I give him a hand

I'd ask questions about the "potential" single mom...
Finding out if bio dad is involved, and if he pays support. Since you cannot put cs into a prenup these are alll relevant questions that would need answering if i were to continue a serious relationship.

Personally I fail to see why the fact that a woman has a child that she's any different. It's not like there aren't any woman with no children out there looking for someone to take care of them. You have to get to know the individual to learn if there's a relationship that you'd like to pursue. The fact that she does or doesn't have children is irrelevant in my opinion. No matter what the case is, it all comes down to the type of person that they are.

I'm 20, and a dated a single 21 year old mum. She had a 3 year old son. She was honest and open about having a son right from the start, so i knew what i was getting myself in for. Like most guys would, i did have second thoughts, worrying about if she wanted me to be her sons' "dad" so to speak.

But i thought to myself i should give her a fair chance. I am glad i did, she was a great girl! As far as her son goes, i treated him like i treat my much younger brother or sister, and things worked out quite nicely. Single mums need love too.

Hi, I totally agree with you.I've just come out of a year long relationship with a guy who led me to believe he was cool about the kids from the start. The reality was he wasn't. When we broke up he gave me this talk about needing a father figure for my kids which made me so angry. I tried to tell him this was not the case as fortunately the boys see their Dad regularly. I feel the same as you, the only time any guy would be a father figure for my boys would be if we were married and then he would have to be a VERY special man. Take care.God Bless all single parents reading this. Keep smiling! x x x x
