Posted: 2/28/2006 4:19:14 PM | | My preference is a dad, not necessarily a single dad, but even one who has a child part time. I only say this because if he has kids, he's most likely going to be more accepting of my daughter....so for me it is kind of a bonus....Plus I want more kids...with the right guy | |

Posted: 2/28/2006 5:01:20 PM | Hey, I am a single dad too. I also have a wonder little girl too. I am a dad first and foremost. What I have gone through raising a little girl without her mother. I would not miss this trip for nothing. I lost her mother about 12 years ago. I have seen my daughter grow,change from a baby to a child and now I am about to watch her change from a child to first steps to become a woman. If I never find another lady to yes , love, I will be just fine. I love my first wife as deeply as did when I first met her. I have dated, I have made the same mistake as I did as a teenager or young adult. I am free to do what I what and need to do. I balance what I need and what my daughter needs. I tried to make her into a tomboy, but she is all woman. If I can not answer her questions or she want her girl time. I make it happen or I find someone for those answers. A steadly woman in our lives would be a dream come true, but it is not a requirement. It is something special, something to treasure, and to hold dear. The bible says" All good things will come to those who wait." Yes, of couse we man and woman will help this saying along. Most of the time we rush the man (or woman) upstairs to our time.  I am on the opposite end of finding someone to go out with, but not with the ladies at work. I learned it is a big no no  Sir, moving you find what you seek,  | |

Posted: 3/1/2006 11:25:30 AM | | ...Brothers in Arms...As a guy who also falls into this category but with a twist, My sons are already teenagers which can host another set of issues. Personally, the right person will come along, give it time. If a lady isn't interested in becoming a "mom" to your child that is ok. Each of us is looking for their own thing. However when you find the right person things will click and it will have been well worth the wait! | |

Posted: 3/1/2006 3:11:17 PM | I fought for 3 and a half years to get full custody.
I gave up buying a new truck everytime my old loan was done being paid. I gave up my Bachelor life to live where it is most comfortable for my daughter.
Out of the numerous people i have dated i have only brought two people in to her life. you must impress the hell out of me before you ever get to meet my daughter.
I am pretty sure i had the right person come along, it just wasn't time yet. It may never be time.
I have my daughter, thats all that counts, i really don't care anymore. | |

Posted: 3/2/2006 7:33:32 PM | I dont think I have ever used that term........2 and 1/2 years later.....
IM A SINGLE FATHER........wow......almost liberating.
I have my two daughters 4 days a weekand wouldn't have it any other way.
I have dated some but not much.....mostly by my own choice.
I hope the poster and other single parents find someone who makes a good fit within their lives and with their children.
for me......I'm a father first and my girls come first....doesnt mean that when I am ready for somthing more serious taht they wont get the attention they need.......but after I had children they became the most important thing in my life.....
good luck to OP.......you'll find someone....H E L L ....maybe on here

Posted: 3/2/2006 8:04:56 PM | | i thinks there is nothing better in this world but a single dad! not that i am saying a child should be without both their parents but u know stuff happens.But a man taking the responsbility is a real man first hand. You know he is a good man when u hear i am a single dad ( MUSIC TO MY EARS).. You could tell alot just by hearing those words how a great,caring,affectionate man he is when u hear them.. I don't know i am a single mother and this would not probably be music to any guys here but you gonna hear anyway. I AM A SING MOTHER BABY YEAH!! LOL | |

Posted: 3/2/2006 9:42:09 PM | | a weekend dad? that hurts. I am a weekend dad and while I would want him more and do anything for my kid i could he lives two hours away and if i even bring up dragging him back and forth i get the "oh you arent even thinking of him" from the mother. I drive to see him twice a week once in the middle and once on the weekend. Here where I live I was not with the mom for 12 months prior to the birth so i have abosolutely no legal rights to my son and i would die for him. He did not choose this life nor did i but i did make the decision to leave and split the home up. t is for the better but please dont lump all weekend dads together. some of us are doing whatever it takes to keep in touch with our children. | |

Posted: 3/2/2006 10:02:05 PM | Hello... fluffers!
seem's like to me that your child is the ONLY thing you think of and if you didnt think about your child or even care you would not try as hard as you are now to even see him wich seem's like you really, do care about him and wan't to see him every chance you get at least she could try to understand your point.
because some men would do anything and everything to see their child and would not care what they had to give up just so they, could be around their child to me a child is the most imporant person in anybody life and should ALWAYS come first before anybody else's need's.
i wish you the best of luck on your situration. | |

Posted: 3/2/2006 10:20:31 PM | | Give me a single dad any day! I have many single males in my life, 80% of them are full-time dads. In most cases they are down to earth, honest and a lot more trust worthy. I find them able to express themselves a lot better and will ask for help when they know they are defeated. On the dating front, I will look for a solo dad first as they are often there looking for a relationship and a friend and not for a quick one night stand. My hats of to those of you who do it, it is a tough job! | |

I will agree with you and your speaking the truth single dads need to know tho
that they are not alone and that there are some of us, single moms/women who
would not mind giveing them the chance and its just not because of their kids.

Posted: 3/3/2006 12:01:56 PM | | It's not your kid. It's you. I don't mean that as an insult in any way. But women won't just run away because you have a 4 year old. It's either your approach or you are approaching women you shouldn't be approaching. | |

Posted: 3/3/2006 3:49:51 PM | Maybe so who know's but it seems like the women on this thread are not afraid of a single dad and some are willing to, give a single dad an chance every thought about makeing a thread that is about, single mom/dad in La/Ky/FLA/etc...?
For Example:
Single mom seeking Single dad who lives in state of La between the ages of 18-50(w/e)
if, intrested write to me on an email and lets take it from there.
Single dad seeking Single mom who lives in (your state) between the ages of 18-40 (or w/e)
if, intrested write to me on an email and lets take it from there.
Ps, Only reply if your serious about meeting and not just playing head games!
Just An Example! | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 1:58:27 PM | | I admire a man who takes care of his responsibilities. I am a single mother and know how hard single parenthood can be. I definately wouldn't run from a guy because he has kids. As a matter of fact I think that would make him even more attractive to me. I wish there were more guys out there that were willing to take care of thier children. so kudos to you for being a stand-up guy! | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 6:21:43 PM | | To Jr51580 and his sweet child... Jr.. I both admire and respect you. As far as I am concerned its men like you that keep us all grounded, and more so, keep this crazy world of online dating from going over the deep end.. You keep it real, upfront, sincere and genuine.. and if we were all honest with ourselves, we would all agree that men like u are exactly what most woman want.. Congrats to you and I wish you and your little girl all the happiness life has to offer. I became a single mom very suddenly when my little girl was an infant and I too can relate to finding dating difficult.. When I say "single mom", most men hear "welfare"... its a shame. If they only knew how incredibly wrong they were. You besafe. xoxo | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 7:17:16 PM | u-know its a miracle i think to see a man raise children on their own. its rare but a
beautiful thing. now i have children who non of their fathers support. now i mite get
a phone call or too. i guess its better than nuthin. maybe the ladies sometimes are not
ready for children at the time. well, i did learn that it is a package deal, so maybe u dont
need them ladies in ur life.(and UR kids life). ur better off waiting for someone who accepts
yoo and ur children too. its not easy bein a single parent, but my reward is seing mini-mees
growin up being different characters of me. i love-love my children.now wat i hate is wen people say they are babysitting tHEIr own children. wat da f*** IS UP WIT TAT SH**! | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 7:28:39 PM | | Most of the women I meet find out I am a single father, with custody, and then the friend talk starts! There are women out there who dont want to be put in the second spot once you start dating. Our kids come first and some, I stress some not all, even with kids do not want a man who has his kids. The outher problum with that is the X factor!!!! Most men with kids have an X or the kids mother. Alot of women I meet just dont believe that we divorced and don not argue they figure there is another woman who is going to take offence, like some do...... I just want to meet somone who can understand that I am not looking for a mother for my kids. Although it is important to me that whoever I may find accecpt them into the life that I have. | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 8:39:54 PM | Hello to all the single moms and dads.
I`m one of the latter ones,with two boys that live with me 14 and 17.
And yess a lot of sacrifices have to be made in order to see your kids grow the proper way.And yes we do place them in front of any other event that takes place in our lifes ,and that includes dating.I`ve been divorced for one and a half years,and was in a marriage ,that for the last six years, was plain bad.Friends told me,i was staying married for the wrong reasons.And my only reason, was ,being scared that the children would not be able to understand what was going on.And that was to me the wright reason!
The whole point is ,that ,most probably,single dads ,or single moms ,aproach relantionships,more ,but much more ,carefully,we have other factors to consider ,so ,our pool,per say,becomes a bit smaler.Just maybe we have a little more experience,regarding what works ,and what is not going to work.That is if we are looking for something with meaning.As it goes for me,sex is sex,but love with someone you care for ,that`s dificult to top.I`m most probably looking for the latter one ,not that i`ve gotten the first one .Pretty soon i`ll be considering life as a monk!!!!!??????????????.
Well i`ll finish by saying to all of us "OUR TIME WILL COME" and it will be good.
For the time being,teenagers ........just kill you. | |
