How about do women like to date single Dads? I'm a single dad raising my 5 year old daughter on my own. Just never seem to have the time to even try meeting anyone.
Take Care | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 10:58:42 PM | I for one have no problem dating a single Dad. I am a single Mom and it would be a double standard to expect a guy to date me if I wasn't willing to date someone with kids. Problem is where do you meet someone?? Walmart is fresh out of good ones!!  | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 11:07:24 AM | | It all boils down too who you talk too. Some of us have no problem getting a date when we are looking and others have a lot of problems. It depends on your personality and how much time you have. | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 11:47:53 AM | im a single dad too. ive never had a problem in getting a date because of it. only thing i've had a problem with is if she is a mother too organising babysitters for the both us at the same time can be a hassle.
i do understand though, mothers kind of cluster together at places like baby groups and Nursery school playgrounds so they can have a natter and exchange stories about their kids. but when you see the dads in these places they kinda hang about by themselves off to one side and dont really talk to anyone. im guilty of it too. when i take zack to nursery every day i stand by myself at the fance and wait rather than socialising and talking to people.
i dont think there really is an ideal place to meet single dads, we kind of keep ourselves to ourselves, have lost the opertunity to hang out down the pub every night so we just stay in. so probably the internet would be the only real place to track us down... or maybe the women could try engaging us in conversation when they see us leaning on the fence by ourselves waiting for the kids to come out of nursery ;) | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 12:06:56 PM | | I am a single mother and I would love to meet a single father. He would be able to truely understand my struggles with time, babysitters, money and everything else I must deal with in this adventure with my boys. It always seemed to me when they were younger that when I found time to go out and meet someone, I was too tired to try. I understand the feelings you have, believe me. | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 2:42:55 PM | | i have no problem dating single dads, and have some other single friends without kids who would have no problem dating single dads either... the thing that bothers me though is that too often a single dad is viewed with sympathy, they get the whole "how could a woman walk out on such a precious child" thing, etc. They are commended for the great job they are doing as a single parent. as much as i agree they should be commended for their great single parenting job, sometimes the same person who would praise a single father would look at a single mother as if she were the worlds most premiscuous s*ut on the face of this earth. the men who walked out on a single mother and his child did so just as easily and with just as much disregard as the woman who walked out on a single father and her child... so why the double standard... i dont get it.... If i were a man raising my kids on my own i would probably have dates lining up at the door but as a woman raising kids on my own a large portion (not all but alot) of society automatically label me as a s*ut without even knowing anything about my situation. | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 6:14:28 PM | The main problem is this: If a woman sees a Dad walking with his child around anywhere we are more than likely presumed that we left the wife/GF at home. I know for a fact that the times have changed and the tables have turned for the dads to actually start winning custody of their children. When I started dating my son's mom, she had a child and I couldn't quite comprehend a lot of things that she had to deal with, now that my son came along I finally got it! It took me a while. Most women would LOVE to find a single dad that knows the issues there are with raising a child on their own but it is hard for them to find us. I that I need to start a T-shirt line for us single dads so they can find us easier! | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 7:50:08 PM | I prefer to date guys who have kids. They understand the kind of life we have to live as single parents and they are much more patient, in my experience. They don't get all tore up if something comes up and you can't drop everything and get to them right away. I prefer it and yet most of the guys who contact me do not have kids! Where are you guys?? | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 8:17:32 PM | | Not having enough time is the fate of the Single Parent! I've dated several single dads. The main issue that has come up, is having different parenting styles. For me, there are very few men who are even 'BabySitter Worthy'....lol! But, in and of itself, I have no issue with dating Single Dads. | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 9:32:34 PM | | Single dads are just fine. I think a single dad is great because he would understand day to day thing that a single parent has to deal with. If I can love my boys as much as I do I can love and accept his kids too. Its just a way of life these days really. | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 9:31:26 AM | I am a single mom and would rather date a single dad. They understand the issues and frustrations and it gives us common ground to stand on. Then once we are comfortable, we can share babysitters!  | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 12:49:07 PM | | i love the t-shirt idea. I'm a single mom and would love to find a single dad. It's bad but i usually do assume if i see a guy w/ his kid(s) that he just left the wifey at home... | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 1:08:31 PM | Another single father here.
Lining up a date isn't usually hard for me. I am not the "sit on the fence" type though. I am a go getter and will talk to anyone.
Where things usually go south for me...
I work 12 hour graveyard shifts 14 days a month. All but 3 days of the month I have work or the kids. I don't bring dates around my kids. If things got serious, i would consider introducing my kids to them in a public and social place.
THings go south because I have little to no time for dating. Once I get in a date or two, she will want more time then I have. Thats where it goes wrong. I can't give the time to her, and take it away from my kids. I wont do it. I have yet to meet a woman who is REALLY understanding of it. They all SAY they will be understanding and accepting. When push comes to shove, they are jsut as quick to go hit up the next single guy out there.
This is why I prefer meeting single mothers. Even if we are not dating, its nice to have play-date pals. Meet up at the park, and watch the kids play, while we get some time to chit chat. Even if there is no chance of a relationship, its nice to have a buddy to talk to while the kids play.  | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 1:30:38 PM | i think the single dad \mom T shirt is a great idea
i know there are woman out there ready to date single guys with kids but how many woman see a guy with kids in the park or just walking around and think he;s married or has a gf problem is we dont ask or first impression on a dating site are the results of a picture and dont show the real person his \ her feelings humour heart as for the awww vote well
think our problem is that yer we get the sympathy vote as already stateted but as single guys we also see that where no different to single ladies raising there kids
we get a huge amount off joy from seeing them everyday and yer its hard at times but a kids smile or a hug at bedtime is worth more than gold diamonds anything
ok x runs a close 2nd but OK THAT WAS A JOKE !!!!!! what am i saying lol | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 2:04:59 PM | | I prefer to date a guy who has children. I find that there is more common ground there and we have a better understanding of what each other is going through. It is even better if he raising his children since we have similar day to day experiences. It definately is a different experience having custody on a day to day basis and visitation. It does make it a little harder working around the issue of both of us getting time without our kids at the same time, but it is possible. | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 2:39:19 PM | I like single dads just fine, but they don't seem to have any time to plan a date...in my experience they just want a FB or friend with benefits to squeeze in late at night.
And that's just not good enough for some of us! | |

Posted: 7/13/2009 8:46:53 PM | | I do like to date single fathers. One of the reasons being that they know what us single mothers are going through. Another reason the understand time constraint. When a man is a single father, they know the frustrations and stresses that come along w/ having kids and it is mush easier to tell them about problems w/ the kids. They are better listeners about it. It is sometimes hard finding time to date a single father, but they are usually the same way single mothers are and their kids come first. In my point of veiw a date is ok sometimes when you have the kids w/ you. Even a simple trip to the zoo w/ the kids can be considered a date. Even if we arn't totally alone. It is time spent w/ the kids and each other. Just my point f veiw. | |

Posted: 7/14/2009 2:20:25 PM | Single Dads!! Are wonderful if they truly have time and freedom to date!
I was a single parent and I know....
On this subject.... In the past two days I have run into men who have hid their children
on line here...One Man age 46 with 3 kids under the age of 8! One said No to kids-found out he visits his 16 yr old daughter every weekend! Both Seeking Long Term! ok ...
The other issue: The profile says, "yes" I have Kids and there isn't a thing about those children or how much time they have to put towards dating in their profile- It is like the Man is totaly single!! You have to ask! I wish they would be upfront- | |
