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

caffinated: Is dating a single mom too much of a commitment for some men?


Probably.

caffinated: I'm not one to foist the "daddy role" onto a partner...


IMO a mistake. You need bonds between the 'three' of you and isolating any one is going to break bonds.

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.


'YOU' !!!!!! ? I guess you don't give a damn about your children :(

seekndestroy: i think dating a single (woman) is too much of a commitment !!!! what ever happened to hit it and quit it ?????

but one good thing about single moms is that so long as they dont ask you to take the "father potential qualification test" right away, they are likely too busy with their child/children to develop more of a FWB relationship.... !!! cant really get to know someone when you only have a couple of free hours a week !!!!


I aggree with you. I have no kids and will not date a single dad. They are busy with the children and have no time to develop a relationship.

Thank you. I agree with you. A single dad or single mom comes as a package, himself or herself and the kids. You have to accept the whole package. I can't and I won't. I will be honest upfront.
wulfen: 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

Yes I don't have kids and I am not ready for someone else. I dated someone with a teenage son before. He didn't want me around. He and his mom made life difficult for me. He always took his side to protect him so No repeat for me.
Adrummerboy: 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...

I cannot believe the amount of shallow minded men and people out there.

To be a mother is one of the best most rewarding things in this world,men should look up to the women out there who bring children into this world and who choose to do it alone.
I have great admiration for single parents,i am one myself but even before i had my baby i looked up to single parents,and all those men out there who consider children as BAAGAGE really need a reality check on life.

Just thought id share my feelings on this topic as it infuriates me the considerable number of shallow men here!!!

I am a single parent of four. I have no interest in having any dates being involved with my children. I want to date to have fun and enjoy interesting adult interactions. My children are all wonderful and so smart and polite. If I was to meet someone that i was going to be serious with. I would wait like two years to introduce them to a prospective partner. To date someone usually you are just getting to know them. I would be very considerate of my children's safety and experience of who they see me with. I think being a single mom has made me into the best person i could ever dream of being. A single mom is the hardest job ever. I also know it has been my most rewarding!hug

I don't think it's a matter of shallowness, it's a matter of preference.

I raised my oldest son when his mother didn't want him. A year after the divorce, I went to get my boys like I normally did every other weekend. I didn't do this because I had to, I did it because I wanted to. Anyways, as the boys were getting into the car, she told me not to bring the oldest back and also handed me a paper stating she was giving me custody.
Imagine what it's like for a nine year old to hear his mother say she can't deal with his being ADHD and didn't want him back. From the time I got him to the time he had his drivers license and car, I can count on one hand the number of times his mother took him for a weekend.
While she was getting a break every other weekend, I could consider myself lucky if I got a break

At my present age, I'd rather be with someone who's kids are out on their own.

I personally don't have a problem with it. Sometimes the children view me with suspicion initially, but that soon goes away.wave

I don't have many reservation about at least meeting a woman. Although mothers with children living with them typically means compatibility is now to be considered with 2 (or more) parties. Of course this makes it more challenging, but if you find the right person what challenge wouldn't you be willing to face?

Come on leave the kids at home. Go out take care of your self, Dating has nothing to do with your kids. Go out to a movie then dinner. Come on after a few years start going to hotel rooms or wine tasting what ever is your thing. Do not bring a man in to your kids lives.gift dancing
