Posted: 6/16/2008 1:17:01 PM | | Guess it makes me biased as well, I would rather not date a guy that's never been married and has no children, rather someone who "gets it" in regards to single parenting and it's demands/responsibilities. | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 2:22:18 PM | Hiya...I like u found myself alone with a baby...The father knew i was preg but wasnt interested.He never went to scans,doc appointments etc etc..he certainly wasnt there at the birth...& thats how it stayed till the CSA got hold of him when my son was 18mnths old..He now sees him 2 nights a week & has him all day sunday.He has had two girlfriends in 6mnths so im glad i aint with him no more..Fatherhood hasnt changed him one bit..altho he does adore his boy...Feel bitter towards him sometimes tho as i did all the hard work for 18mnth,hes missed all the tramas of hospitals & tests when he was ill etc etc..hes got the easy bit now!!..
I would say to u..Take ur time in finding another partner.Im still single now,have never even kissed another man since i concieved my son.This is through personal choice.I dont want my son having god knows how many "uncles" in his life...I would rather stay single,bring my son up the best i can & if Mr right does come along then maybe i will think about letting a man into my life.It would take a man in a million tho now!....
Honestly hun,u dont NEED a man to feel whole or to feel good about yourself..Your only 24,have some fun..Get out on girlie nights out or even just make lots of friends online,u dont have to pay for a sitter then!!.....Find yourself & be happy by yourself...Yes it does get lonely sometimes..But just look at your wonderful beautiful son & feel the love inside u have for him...Its a wonderful feeling & its a feeling that no one..man or woman can ever take away from u!... | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 3:37:09 PM | | I think the question should be do girls like single dads, im a fultime single dad, have my own business and work really hard at both...Trying to meet someone for a relationship seems near impossible, i have been single for 5years and i do tend to think that as i cant give the potential partner 100% they not interested | |

Posted: 6/16/2008 6:24:40 PM | Mcminnie, I am with you there.. I too am a single dad and would prefer to date a single mom other that a single lady. This is not because I am bing shallow or discriminating, I just believe that there are certain things that can not be explained satisfactory, one has to know from experience. I have been single for almost three years now, but choice mostly because I seem to attract single ladies and I politely decline because at this point my kids are my #1 priority and for me the only family I have.
Being in WA i tis very difficult to meet other single parents if not impossible. It would be nice to know of any single parent resources to attend in order my kids to have friends to play with and for I to meet other single parents.. | |

Posted: 6/17/2008 1:10:19 PM | Well if a woman asks u for 100% hun & u have kids & ur own business then she aint worth being with anyhow....Relationships are give & take....Ifsomeone has kids u have to work around things,the same with work/own busines.
I hope u do find someone & bloody well done to u...Being a single dad & running ur wn business..U should be very proud of urself!!!!!.. | |

Most men that are at a point in their life where they are truly looking for a "partner" would not let children be there deterring factor. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 10:30:51 AM | | What a ridiculous statement "most guys get scared"...you obviously have not read several of the posts in this forum and others.....many men simply don't want the legal and financial responsibility in raising someone elses child....and there is nothing wrong with that choice. | |

If you know of someone getting treated like that then the lawyer screwed up.

Posted: 6/18/2008 2:04:56 PM | | ^^^^Our laws in Canada allow a custodial parent to collect child support from the other parent and any step parents...so to single mother's would you date a guy with 5 kids if you knew you might have to pay child support fr those kids if you get married and it does not work out? | |

if you were in Canada ?the next man you shack up with would be financially responsible for supporting you and your child for ever
Unfortunately valleyjavastop is correct, in fact it is a very good reason as to why I have chosen not to date. This is a decision I have made because I feel that someone should love themselves before they can love someone else, we can't find someone to complete us (I am a bbw and I have come to understand we are not a favoured body type lol) and I have a very hyper, stubborn, strong willed but adorable 6 yr old that makes dating difficult, I could never do that to a man that could find someone with a little less "baggage" as I have heard it put.
Personally OP it's up to you, but I would suggest spending some quality time with your little guy rather than focusing on making an addition to your family. If it happens it happens, but why look for it when you can focus on your little man, that is the greatest gift you could be given right now. You have nothing else to worry about you can give him more of you, how lucky for him. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 4:25:27 PM | ^^^ I am a firm believer in do not expect from your partner what you wouldn't expect from yourself.
I could never not date a man because he is a single father, its rather hypocritical seeing as I am a single mother. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 8:15:30 PM | | I do at least. It comes down to if your potential partner likes kids or not of course there not going to date a single parent if they don't like kids. Although I did break up with a single mother because I didn't like the way she handled her kids. | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 11:13:52 PM | | Ok, I obviously know nothing about whether guys like single mom's, but I'm hopeful. I just wanted to comment on "little things in life" comment about having the ex-step-daughter involved in her life. I also married a man with a child, then got pregnant, and it didn't work out. I had to go to court to fight for the right to see my step daughter. I just think it's very important for the kids to see each other. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 1:06:28 AM | | I'd more then likely not date someone with a child. im sure there may be a very rare exception where if she was perfect for me i might, but i wouldnt just go on a random date with someone that has a child without knowing much about her, its just something i dont want or need to get involved with. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 1:22:25 AM | | I think it just depends on the guy. I don't really care if shes a single mom as long as her mindset isn't just on finding a daddy for her child. I actually started dating a girl while she was pregnant and dated her up until her daughter was 6 months old. Im sure some guys wouldnt want to date a single mom but hey thats there loss then. | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 2:24:11 AM | | I can answer this one.....yes some men do like single mums. I am very upfront and honest about being a single mum, and have had no trouble finding someone that would like to meet me. My problem is that they all want to rush into something serious, or bed at the least. I can not drop everything to go out with you, and I certainly am not going to just jump into your bed after just meeting you. Take it slow, get to know me first, then we can go from there. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 8:51:20 PM | | Rest assured that if a guy is any kind of man, it won't matter to him wether or not you are a single mom. Realistically, we all have pasts, and sometimes those past include having children. There are many guys that see a single mother as being more stable, she has to be. Unfortunately some men may see a single mother as having "baggage" but that doesn't mean all of us do. Keep your chin up and take comfort in the fact that there are many guys out there worth taking a chance on. | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 1:08:01 AM | | I have been reading this and it is shocking to see how many men on here are unaware of the laws in this country. Check your local laws, but in many states if you date a single mom and create a "significant bond" with the child, you can be forced to pay child support for that child. Why risk what you work so hard for? The gamble is just not worth it. | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 11:47:29 AM | | I myself am a single dad to a 2 1/2 yo boy. I became a single dad six months ago now and I too went through this. I kept wondering if women would want to date me with a kid. I have found that I would prefer to meet a single mom that way she already understands the responsibility involved with a child, unlike a normal woman who wants you to go out at the drop of a dime and you can't because you dont have a sitter. At least a single mom understands :) The only time I evr get scared is if a woman has three or more kids. That's just too much to tackle. My son keeps me busy enough as it is! | |
