Yes, some people were probably destined to be single from birth
As they won't put up with crap in the home or at work
But I sincerely wish you luck
As even men without young kids are having a hard time finding women that are 'wearing tall skirts'.
The rich and the famous men are the luckiest creatures on earth
They can get almost any woman merely by advertising their financial worth

cchances: is a single parent just destined to be single these days?
Who cares?
As a single parent I have all the love I need with a kid that respects me and our home!
I as yet have not found that in a girlfriend or a wife? They just want too change you?
Just stay true to yourself , and the opportunities will come out eventually?
I much prefer my life now as a single home owner than as a married man not knowing when my now EX. Was going to sell our home?
Long story, but the ending is now sweat!

Yeah, who cares...You have the greatest love of all, the love of your kids.

In my opinion it's definitely harder cchances. Harder obviously, than if one was single...but then again, being a single father (in my case obviously) can make you more attractive to a degree, to single mothers. They *know* you understand the complications and responsibilities involved. They can even admire you for standing by your child. Some don't and run a mile. Better off without 'em eh?

In response to: is a single parent just destined to be single these days?
For the most part it would seem that we are to be avoided at all costs. I've been raising my granddaughter for almost 7 yrs. now and there has never been anyone in our lives. It has taken me almost 4 yrs. to convince her that I don't have to have anyone. Meeting someone who can think way outside the box is a tall order. You just have to ride the wave and see what happens.

I'm a single mother too, and it has been me and her since she was born.
There was a time when I even got engaged (years ago) and she got along really well with my ex... I have seen some single parents though that , keep an attitude of "Dont even try to mess with me , my kid or my life" and that makes ppl comes across as very agressive (I dont know if its ur case or not) and of course pushes away other ppl.
Some other single parents claim that Their KID wouldn't allow someone else on theirs parents life , other than mom/dad...again a deal breaker.
So I guess that, as long as you keep balance between u as a parent and u as a MAN that NEEDS or WANTS a woman to share your life with... eventually a good woman will come along.
And If others weren't ready to deal with the fact u have a baby girl... then it's their loss... You don't need such a people in your and your girl's life.
Best of luck!!!

Its part choice and part chance, I'd say.
If by chance you have the resources to date, like family to babysit, or money for babysitting, or money for going out, or you're in a good emotional and intellectual place to have a healthy relationship with someone, then you can choose what to do with your life.
You could also choose to improve your situation either emotionally, or financially with the prospect of dating in mind.
As for meeting someone, you always take a bit of a chance there - its difficult to tell when you embark upon something whether its going to work out, but if you've handled things with thought and care it can minimise any problems which might affect you and your child.

is it harder - MOST DEFINITELY YES! is it possible, are there folks out there (men or women) that will be okay and welcome a ready made - YES however it is not for everyone.
There are a lot of things going on for single parents (mothers and fathers) and a big part of that is that they have chosen to place their children first and foremost in their lives. I mean think about it who wants to come in and know immediately that they are second rate to whatever is going on??? Suddenly having to potentially take on the responsibility of influencing another person's child? That's a big order to take on. . . . .
That being said tho there are things that single parents do offer that most singles do not. I would say for me as a single parent I know how precious it is to be with another adult. I know the meaning and can truly appreciate those special moments, the simple moments in life. It doesnt have to be all about the hopela. I also know how to put another person first in my life, before my wants and needs. . . and how happy that can make me when I do so. That is perhaps the biggest draw as to why I would prefer to date another single parent.
Its one of the things that many 'single' men I have met dont seem to grasp or appreciate - so often they think that everything in this world revolves around themselves. Why cant I make it for a date on Friday night and stay out late enjoying anothers company. . . . hmmm nothing to do with the fact that I have children and am running them to and fro because oh yeah they want to have a social life too :) and yeah guess what I really dont want to be out till 2 in the morning when I know that I have to run so and so to basketball practice at 8 am. . . .So often there just isnt an understanding that there is a really big life a single parent is juggling.
anyways enuff of my ramblings. . . best wishes.
