Being a father of two children and going on fifty, I find it hard to find a woman of my age who is willing too date because most been there done that.but I am still a good dad and am a stable and acountable person so I say yes single dads as a whole are good dates as are most single moms

scoutmaster1: As a single dad I find it hard to get a date. I have had ladies jelous of the time I spend with my kids, I have had ladies want me to accept there kids but they dont want anything to do with mine. I dont get it, I would think a singl dad shows the kind of values that would make for a great long term relationship but the ladies I have met dont seem to think so.
I have never been concerned about a man's parental status. Of course at my age most do have children...so do I and I really like kids....single dads are welcome in my life....just warn me if there are diapers....
I spend most of my time w/ family anyway....
I come from an awesome fam and would want someone who would want to be a part of that & be glad to include his own rugrats in the mix------ This poll is Archived ------
I think it depends on the people. I wouldn't just because I don't think I am ready to be a mother figure yet if it became serious even though I love children and want some one day.
I think single dads are wonderful people though, and have lots of great qualities, but I also have noticed many don't want anymore children.
Maybe in a few years I will change my mind!

Over the years I have had friends who were single dads. Talked with a few single dads here on CS. I have dated a couple of single dads. I have enjoyed my experiences with my friends. It was a positive experience for me. So my answer is yes I would date a single dad.

Being an older woman and my kids have left home I have dated a single dad who was younger than me he had a young child. I found he had too much baggage with the ex and his access to his child re- court etc! I don't want to be in that situation and found that to be a huge turn off for me. I am at that age now where I am crusin though life now and no baggage I'm past all that. However if I met someone who has kids that have left home I would have no problems at all with it. Would be nice to have added family.

I have been dating a single dad about ... mmmm .... think about a year. I appreciate his time with his children and I see it as a great advantage: I will have my own time doing on my own, with friends, traveling. Of course I would be happy to spend my time with him however hey, there is a time for everything.
It is just a matter of meeting the right woman :-)

sounds like a well thought out answer, but keep in mind that you won't have to be a mother figure, the children already have parents (usually) and attempts to be "substitute mom" are not usually successful....so you get to the "the friend" - lots more fun!
So maybe that idea will help, and also broaden the pool of available men for you!

Yes, Felixis IS right! A well thought-out answer. I'd also commend you Summja for observing that many single Dads don't want anymore children.
There are obvious reasons for this. But still only a sharp person like yourself will notice it. Nature, and greed/ego's are largely the main culprits behind us being extremely dubious about having more kids.

true -whether or not a couple wants additional children is always an important consideration - regardless of what their histories have been...

sure I would date a single dad...
why not?
I even think it is a bonus when a man is a father....because he KNOWS what responsability is.

At times it's not just about being a single dad
There are other things about us that women view as bad
For instance, they may not like our main hobby or our job
Or they may not like our lack of playa-boy muscles or belly blob
They may also not like the fact that we are quick to grab
Eager to jump into bed and quick to stab.
I am only saying

Depends if the children are grown and have left the nest i would date the dad. Otherwise no. I don't have children of my own, out of choice and I can't see myself in a relationship with someone who has such a commitment as kids, where I would come second to the kid's needs.
------ This poll is Archived ------
I am not sure if you WOULD come in second ....I find this arguement a bit off...this is because your spouse/mate is in a different place than your children ,(it is NOT a competition).
I do understand what you are saying about the commitment one has with kids and you are not prepared to share the time of said spouse.
Nothing wrong with that ....but the two ARE separate and neither is first or second...Least I don't think so...

Altho I do respect your comment that wouldn't date someone with children ,someone's children should always come first and foremost oever the person they're dating regardless s of what age they are.

Spot on. I'd be put off by a man who puts a date before his children and would not expect to be such a man's first priority. However that type of relationship is not for me. If and when I do get into a relationship I'd want my man's undivided attention,, having suffered a lot of neglect in the past. I am just not ready to complicate my life or sacrifice much these days. I will only get into a relationship if it meets my needs. I've learnt to put myself first in my list of priorities instead of others and a man would have to add value and happiness to my life, otherwise I'm happy being single.

Yes, we will spend time together and he will spend time with his kids and if he is willling to introduce me to his kids and I am accepted by them ,,we can all spend time together,,I will respect his decision, I will not interfere in the relationship with his kids.

i dont mind to have a date with a single dad. I had a date with a single dad once. But the hard thing, his teenager 12 years daughter didn't accept me.
I had a lesson from my last relationship. No matter how big your love to him, you have to know if his kids want you or not.

Yes u right there darl. have to know them first if they like u or not. if they accept u be part of the family or not.
if not then better not force the relationship cause it will gettin worst for both. Even if we like kids n can get along with them but kids are different, esp if its goes to their dad. So, the dads must understand the reason why
