not terrified just cautious , the younger babie s need the most attention
that mean s less time for the 2 of you to get to know eachother and enjoy
a good relationship, that being said I would be happy to date a woman
with a child or children, but there has to be time for us and time for them,

Hardly any men seem to want to get involved with me now, atleast not seriously.


That's not true. Just give it some time and you might be pleasently surprised.


Am I never going to be able to have a boyfriend because I have a baby?


Lots of women with children find a good man. Don't give up hope. Meanwhile take care of that baby.

Thats why I havent dated in 2 years i'm sure.. But I do believe that there is someone out there for all of us its just a matter of finding the path that you want to go down in life and when you least expect it he will show up and if not maybe its for the best.. MY ADVICE IS:

Buy the dvd or read the book "The secret" and trust me you will get a whole new perspective on things.. I am feeling much more confident in myself now just from watching the dvd..

I don t think, if the woman has a very young child it would be hard for her
to make time for a real relationship and she would have to make sacrafice s
I would rather she be more responsible to the child then worry about a new
man in her life, if the child is a little older she might be more able to manage
her time, so both her and the new man would enjoy eachothers compeny and
enjoy the relationship with the child as well

I work quite frequently with children, but my own interest increases proportionally as the children can carry on a conversation. Nonetheless, a baby is no excuse for abandonment.

The issues can be worked around without sacrificing the baby's welfare. Stay at home dates in front of the TV with a good meal thrown in would work out fine. You don't need to go dance your ass off to have a good time in the company of a good woman.

I think the younger the kids the easier it is to date the parent. Children age nine to sixteen are naturally pushing the limits of authority and finding their own way. It can be very difficult for someone to be the boyfriend or the girlfriend when the kids are that age.

eeek , yes but that would be more likely if you have been date a short time allready
or the woman would have to concider introducing you to the children too soon
in the relationship,

I'm not scared of kids/babies at all. I'm almost 30. Awhile back I dated a girl with 2 kids. Going into it I was a little skittish and didn't know if I'd be Ok with it, but I was and liked it. I liked the whole dynamic and her being a good mother even made her more attractive.

Fast forward to now, I started talking to a girl on Myspace that I went to high school with. We didn't know each other back then though. She was married for many years, had 2 kids..then got divorced and oops accidentally got pregnant and has a two month old baby. We plan on meeting this next weekend. She certainly wasn't intending on a relationship this soon or anything, so no fear she's looking for someone to help take care of her/her kids. Even says while we can have fun now she's got some junk going on including the new baby..so while she's very interested and we don't want to wait to meet it could be a little while before we got into a 'relationship.' And there's no guarantee we'll hit it off in person even though we seem to have quite a connection online. Is this a situation I should avoid in the first place? Would have been easier obviously if we'd gotten in touch a little later, but it is what it is. Not a situation I'm scared of and I have no problem with that fact that she'd have little time for me for a little while. We like each other too much to wait to meet. If we were going to wait awhile to meet we'd definitely have to stop talking on a regular basis cuz that would be too hard to keep talking and not meet her.

Hi there , don't ever think that way , guys are interested in a good sex life but some of us want that with only one right person. That person is the right person with or without a child , only a boy whom is selfish and overly idealistic wouldn't realize that. Craig P.S. Only a complete coward /****would leave a woman after getting her pregnant.

No there are guys such as myself that it doesn't bother that the woman they are seeing has children. Hell if I had a problem with it I would be a massive hypocrite because I myself have a wonderful 3 year old. I know a lot of guys who don't have kids or have never been married are scared that oh crude if she has a kid I am going to have to be there 24/7, and then there are those who feel that if a person has a child that young or some guys think it towards all women with children that the woman is looking for a babies daddy. On another note if a man left you after getting pregnant and doesn't want anything to do with it. He is not a man. He is nothing more then a little boy, and should at least be in the child's life. Personally if you are man enough to whip it out you better be man enough to stick around sorry personal rambling there.

Why would a man want to be with a woman who has another man's children?

I would much rather be alone, than be with a childed woman.

The right man will not care at all; you just need to find the right one that is all. Keep looking, be patient, and focused on your new bundle of joy. Start looking for a man that already has children that will help a lot! It does change us quite a bit after having one ourselves. Takes the cave man out of us… were now a dad, so our hearts gets bigger and we stop thinking so much with our second brain. There’s my thoughts… But I have two boys….

I've been open and honest with men ab0ut my situation (pregnant, but the father has taken off and doesn't want anything to do with us) I've had most men practically running away screaming. So I'd have to agree that they can be.

But I've just men a few who aren't scared at all. They actually find it attractive that a woman is pregnant. I'm not sure how they will feel if we got together when baby comes, but that's something I'll have to worry about when thetime comes.

There are good guys out there, we'll find them I'm sure.

Your arrogant remarks are so enhanced by your statements on your profile. Hiding ones true self behind such a facade' upon a computer or in person along with such uneducated remarks shows nothing more then true insecurity, and the inability to accept truth or reality.

I think it's just YOU!! I can't see why a single childless man would be "terrified" of something he didn't create? maybe "aggravated" by another man's baby..crying and whining BUT terrified... I highly doubt it!

The man has to have a child himself to understand. I am a single father and obtained primary residence 4 years ago My daughters mother had custody when my daughter was a baby. We were not married.

I was the every other weekend dad or 4 days per month as that is what it works out to. Just not enough time.

I would love to meet a women with a baby. They are tough to find. I would prefer it. Other men in my position would as well.

Your advantage is that your ex is out of your life and you have custody. Hey, your baby goes to bed early and you have the rest of the night! babies dont know what you are doing so have fun with it!

My ex has a 8 year old kid and I found that much harder than dating someone that has a baby as young as you have. Only because the kid was older and was so accustomed to a lifestyle without me and in I come and disrupt it. I wouldn't think someone with a younger kid would be and hasn't been as big of a deal. Probably just a case by case basis though.

The responses to some of these really catch me off guard...

Yeah, some men are terrified, rightfully so, they probably think you have the father stashed somewhere, etc. But if the right one comes along, the baby won't run him off, actually nothing will run him off...LOL!

My baby brought exes back in the picture more or less for emotional support (wanting to do more than I would allow) and to give me a wake up call (which wasn't all that pretty)...

A real man is not terrified of a young mother with a baby. I pride myself as a family man, I love children. I am divorced but I still admire whn I see a pregnant woman or a woman with a new born. There is something special about that. I think maybe there are too many people claiming to be men who are scared they would have added responsibilities. These are the ones you need to stay away from to start with, they are the ones who will run out on you when you are pregnant. Jeff

I would have to say thats a bunch of BS, If a man is family oriented then a mothers time to her child gives him a since of pride, because that dedicationshe has with her child will be passed on to her man.

OMG... seriously??!! What the hell is your problem? Not all single moms got pregnant in their teens. There are some who were widowed, some who went thru a divorce (such as myself), not all single mom cases are the same. And to say we were foolish to get pregnant?? Granted, I do think teenagers still in highschool should not be getting pregnant, but I was 25 and married when I got pregnant. We were together 3 years before getting married and he assured me he wanted a family, he was even pushing for it. AND when he had an affair and divorced me, I DIDNOT get on welfare. I went to school and continued to work full time, I even took a part time job also.

I know not all men think like you. Some do I'm sure, but not all. I guess I will just have to find a way to get over the notion that you and I will never be together because you think I am a loser single mom
