Absolutely, provided that they are responsible and not dead beats. I met a super guy on this site who is a single dad. When you meet a single dad that is a good dad it shows he knows how to care about someone other that himself. and there is nothing sexier than that. I also think its important to realize and accept the fact that you will be second and not first in this man's life which is ok because who wants to come between that kind of relationship.

I would absolutly date a single dad. They know what single moms deal with everyday. It also shows that they love and care about their children enough to be a part of their life. The one saying is so true, "Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy"

o ya I would totally date a single dad. especially with my lil 1, it would give me someone who knew what they were doing and we'd be able 2 help each other and know what the other 1 is going through when things get tough. plus a lot of dad's don't get custody of their children and if a guy is a good enough father 2 get custody of his children i think that shows great maturity which a lot of guys just don't have at any age. my problem is finding a guy that will date a single mother, cuz i tell ya i haven't had 1 offer 4 a date since my son's father and i broke up and it's really frustrating and makes me feel really unattractive and unwanted.

I would much prefer a single dad over a single guy with no kids. There's an understanding there. I feel nervous around people without kids now. Single dads understand a little spit up, having to leave a restaurant because of a tantrum, smelly poopies in the car, and are usually more mature and family minded. Plus, I want a full house someday.

Maybe I should start a "single guys with no kids suck!" thread!!

trust me it happens to single moms too. people now days are not willing to take the responsibility or are not willing to be understanding when you have to change plans or break a date because of your kids. just be patient you will find the one for you.

While I would date a man WITHOUT kids I would have to say it's easier to date a man WITH kids. Being a single mother of a 6 year old little boy I feel less nervous around single dads. What really discourages me about some single men (notice I said some) is that they see single moms as looking for a replacement father or a paycheck. In my case, my son already has a father....he doesn't need another but he could always use an extra friend. A paycheck? No thank you, I have a great paying job and have been taking care of my son by myself since he was six months old. I get that from single men more than anything else.

I would definitly date a single dad because I think he could relate more to me and understand what I go through every day. And believe me warlock, girls are not the only ones that run like the road runner away when you tell them you have kids. Us single moms go thru the same thing.

i married a single dad (i had three,he had one and a step daughter)it lasted 6 years
i may do it again if the man is secure and if the ex is accepting
thats where it gets messy
i think the experience gave me strength and skills (what not to do)


orriginally i was steering away but then i thought Im exerienced domestically and would add to the qualities a single dad would need ....plus all the single childless men that i date or hit on me want to have kids with me so a single dad would have already gotten over that urge

Well I have dated single Dads, not always such a great idea when you both have children with different ideas on how they should be raised. I have alot of rules he had oh none. There was a lot of problems with his sons mom , so we always ended up fighting alot and a lot of unhappy times. Would I try again with a different single dad, why yes. With that particular single dad, Never. It is hard for a woman to step in and to learn to sit back and not interfer in how someone is raising their child , but because that childs mom is usually still in the picture, you definitly cannot interfer. For me it is easy for a guy to date me as a single mom because her dad is not in the picture and it is just so much easier that way. There is no outside interference from anyone else. No one to tell the man in my life dont try to tell my kid what she can and cannot do. I usually state that myself , but you get what I mean right. For a lot of single moms there is no dad in the picture at all so that is why it is so much easier for women to date.

I have dated single dads, both before I became a single parent and after.

To me it isn't a case of is the guy a father or not, but rather is the guy a decent guy.

I think when you get passed a certain age and you are looking to date, 90% of the people you are going to meet are going to have "baggage" of one form or another, and there are alot worse things a guy could have than kids.

I date a man for who he is, not because he's single with, or without, kids. I wouldn't NOT date someone simply because he has kids. That said, if he's a deadbeat dad, or doesn't treat his children well, then I'm not interested in him, because 1) those kids should be very important and a priority to him, and 2) his relationship with his kids, or his lack of one, says a lot about him...none of it good.

I'm dating a man now with 2 children and he's an absolutely wonderful father, besides being a terrific guy in many other aspects. The fact that he has children, has such a good relationship with them, and has them with him for at least 15 days of the month, says a lot that's good about him, and I consider it as a bonus on top of all the other great things I like and admire about him.

Of course I would date a single dad! Actually, that's what I prefer, for all the reasons everyone above have said. They understand the responsibility, they (in my experience) have been really great about working out our "schedules" with the kids, and since I have a son, some of the best advice I've gotten about how to handle a boy has been from single dads I've dated.

There's already lots to talk about...swapping stories about funny things our kids do, an understanding listener when your kid is driving you nuts...he's not going to be freaked out if your young child throws a tantrum right there in front of him.

All just positives to me!
