Posted: 6/18/2008 6:54:10 AM | Just thought I would add a Hi from Me too, been a full time dad for over 10 years now, and have to say its great.
[Shnuks] I so agree with the comment about your daughters mother, have actually said similar myself about my daughters mum.
I devoted my life to trying to be the best parent ever, (and like so many others, thought I was the only single dad) and now my daughter has got to 13, I am suddenly not needed so much as a dad, and feel lost in a world thats moved on without me.
As to putting women off, IMHO it does, I've spoken to loads of single mums, most of whom have said they couldn't date a single dad. when asked why, I've had every excuse from "its a womans job to bring up a baby" (and you thought men were sexist?? lol), to accusations of being too "efeminate". but mostly, its because as parents we generally put our children before money, and most, (not by any means all) women (that I have asked) want a man to "rescue" them.
All these comments are based on personal contact with many UK single parent mums.

Posted: 6/18/2008 7:13:37 AM | I am a full time single father with full custody of my nine year old and shared physical custody of my 3 year old.(different moms!)
I have found that a lot of women consider a single dad to have a lot of x-tra baggage. It's a lot harder for a single dad to find a mate as compared to a single mom. At least that is what I have found.
Kudo's on your comment, because I have found the same in a lot of situations.

Posted: 6/18/2008 9:45:26 AM | | I see I am definitely no the only one. I have full custody of my son and split time with my daughter. It definitely makes finding time to date harder. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 3:37:10 PM | Must admit iv not read all the comments on here. I may have even left comment im single dad to. Iv two boys full time and weekend access to my daughter. I dont have big trouble meeting girls but iv not had long term girlfriend for very long time.
For me its hard to let a girl in to my life cause if I get hurt its easy to get over it,But the guilt I feel when the kids get hurt breaks my heart.
So I find its easier(but lonely) to stay single.
BIG up to all single parents mums and dads  | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 9:32:00 PM | | I am a full-time single mom of 2 girls 8 and 10. I find it hard to meet anyone who wants to date someone my age w/small children. Another thing is I am a widow which makes it somewhat a little more difficult to get out as I dont have the every other weekend with the other parent. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 6:53:10 AM | I am a 24 hours a day 7 day a week mother of a two year old girl and a 5 year old autistic boy who has no babysitter. Believe me I HAVE TRIED TO FIND SOMEBODY.
I find it impossible to meet a man that is sincere and wants more then a booty call. Nobody seems to want the package deal, put anything into a relationship, I only find men who want to take or are sincere about a serious committment. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 8:07:23 AM | Being a 24 hours a day 7 day a week mother of a two, it would be almost impossable to cultivate a relationship even when you find someone.
Vivaciousvixin2, I've been talking to you for quite a while now and have gotten to know what kind of person you are. To all the guys out there, her beauty is obvious, as you can see by her pictures. But that beauty extends to the real woman inside. She is a loving and caring woman. She is a package deal that no decent man should pass up.
So to the guys who are serious about being happy and having a good relationship with a ready made family, contact her. | |

Posted: 6/29/2008 4:46:50 PM | I've been raising my kids for the past 10 years.Youngest was 4 at the time(thanked the x ,that she had potty trained her before leaving)older boy was 14. At 1st they kept me sane.Then as they got older drove me crazy.
I have found that women love a guy that has kept custody of the children.I have had no problems with dating.I dont date.
Dates are for women,that are dating.
It's more like "hey (insert name here)I'm going out to get a burger n a beer ,want to come along?"I'd rather hang out with someone,then have the pressure of a date.I'm not out to impress any one.I'm gonna have a good time,no matter what. | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 1:39:04 PM | Hi Single Dad, NO you are not the only single father out here... Of course many have responded to this post to tell you that... But I have 3 out of 6 brothers who are raising their children full time. I too am raising my three kids alone and it can be very tough and very lonely, YET, rewarding in many ways as well... I would rather find someone who has children for he'll be more apt in understanding little messes and when our kids do something humorous he'll know how cute and funny it is.
Hugs to ALL you single fathers out there... You're never alone in that you'll always have your little ones longing to be with you (that is until they become teens and wants their friends around). But then if you're blessed enough to find a loving mate, you'll be able to turn and lean on her when the kids desire to grow up and not need us as much... I dread that day, but I know it's bound to happen. I just pray I find "Him" before my kids venture out in to adulthood...  | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 8:51:20 PM | This is for the dads! (NO FEAR MOMS...I ALSO HAVE AN POEM FOR US)
I remember the day when I just held your hand
I felt so tiny and small in your demanding command.
The safety and warmth I felt from just one touch
was enough to make me realize I love you so much.
You've been there for the good, the bad and the evil.
No matter what happened I was always your angel.
When I was afraid I'd run to your arms.
You held me so close I felt safe from all harm.
Why are you so wonderful? Why are you so great?
A man I can admire and never could hate.
Now I'm on my own away from your safety
away from your presence which I adored so greatly.
You will always be with me rooted deep in my heart.
Your guidance and wisdom will never part.
You've made me smile, you've made me sad
but I'll never stop loving the man, the teacher, my idol, my dad. | |
