Depends if the person has kids or not. Maybe if they dont have kids its a sign their just not ready for someone else's.... I only know 1 friend that married a chick that had a kid, when he didnt...

tomboygirl: it is too much for most men-and the more kids the more dificult to find someone looking for a long term relationship.

i am darn tired with men who tell me straight out that they want a casual relationship with me while they look for miss right-cos i already have a family and we are not what he wants.

it may be worse out here,but my last 2 LTR ended because they couldnt see a future with me cos i have kids..


Well girl, look at it as a lucky escape. For all you know, these guys could have kids and they don't know about it plus the wheel turns and they could be single dads themselves someday. I wouldn't worry about it, a few Frogs are always on the scene before Mr. Right comes along. At least he'll like you for you and your Human reality. If Guys are lookin for a friccin Fairytale, they aren't going to get it with a woman without so called ''baggage'' either. Love is not a CV, its where two people love each other through all the ups and downs and accept a person for who they really are.

In response to: Is dating a single mom too much of a commitment for some men? I'm not one to foist the "daddy role" onto a partner, but is dating a single parent too much to handle?
it all depends on the person
i dated a girl once for over a year who had no kids and then she wanted kids(i have 3 so i dont want any more)so we split up
on the other hand dating a single mom you might form a relationship with her kids and thn you split up and you miss the kids and they miss you
also id hate for my kids to think my new gf's kids are more importan tto me than them
but after saying all that i'd rather date a single mom cause i don't want any more kidsdancing

If you genuinely love the person and he or she has kids then
they are part of the relationship.

That is too bad, I met a woman in las vegas who had six kids and went out with her 3 months but I had to move to hongkong temporarily and it ended but I think if the person you are dating has kids of their own they get it, single people with no kids are often dueschebags. laugh

irishgirl36: If they can't handle it, they needn't bother applying. No skin off my nose. Anyways, who wants a guy as small minded as that if he thinks single moms have too much ''baggage''. If a guy likes you, it shouldn't matter.


Why should a guy be called close minded for wanting to choose his potential partner carefully? Personally, I'd prefer a woman who has no kids, as I'm still of an age where I hope to have my own kids one day.

Maybe if I'm still single at 50 I'll change my view on that and having a partner with kids of her own won't be such a big issue.

Close mindedness has nothing to do with it, rather the opposite doh

That goes both ways. I've known plenty of women who liked guys who asked them out, but then would go treasure hunting to find a defect so they can have an excuse to ditch him and not feel guilty about doing it either.

Love is not a CV, but if you're not with a person whom you feel comfortable with, it's better cutting that story short as the longer you tarry, the more hurt it's going to cause in my opinion.

I don't think so as long as the woman isn't desperate to find her child a 'Daddy'.
I think when kids are involved the relationship should be taken slooooowwly. Some guys won't mind, some guys will. The guys that do tough luck move on until the one that gels with all aspects of your life is found heart wings

I don't see the big deal. In fact, I think I'd rather date a women who has children (especially young ones). There's a few reasons why, but mainly cause I love kids and I want my own (can't have any). If she has kids, and wouldn't mind it, I'd love to take on the "daddy" role, haha :)

honestly i have found that women with children are usually bitter.

Bitter at there past boyfriends or lovers...or at the past guys that have bailed...you can see in there post its so much of what they dont want and less of what they are looking for and the good things about themselves.....

maybe that might be a problem for some guys

Well said, Krisha!

If I were a single parent, I would be concerned for my children's safety while dating. Take care, hon - I hope that many of the women in Japan have your spunk and attitude!

Considering I have one son out on his own and another with two years of high school left, I'm almost done raising kids. The only way I would consider someone is if the kids are out on their own or there are no kids.

date a single parent why not .children are a product of there parent they can help make or break a relationship .If the children are dirty little animals with no respect for anyone its the parent that has allowed the behavior and are probably not a good parent . which would in my thinking not make them a good partner .on the other hand if the children are respectful well mannered and live in a healthy well adjusted home this would mean the parent is a good parent and would make a good partner children can be a challenge for a parent who is with them all the time and will be for a new bf or gf . If you are into the bf or gf its all worth the time it takes to build the relationship .older children can pose more of a problem but with time respect by all it can work . when starting a new relationship we would all like a best friend first .why should it be any different with children become there best friend show respect to them and you get what you give .good moms and dads make good kids .good moms dads and kids make good family's. so why not give love a chance ,,, peace
