single dads, to date or not to date them? (59)
yabbadabbadont: I don't know if ANYONE is THAT brave!!!!
how to make men not to shy n express their feelings, u think?
take them by the ear and say " whats the story"?
Nikogas: take them by the ear and say " whats the story"?
is that working?
im affraid they will run like a flash n dissappear.
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 guess its the same situation as dating single mothers. I tried it twice it was just too much hassle.

Not difficult at all, just have to try a little harder, have to remember its a child your talking about...
No, I wont date single dads, I would of done when my daughter was younger, but shes 18 now and flown the nest, so its child free time for me... here in Spain you meet ex-pats whos kids often live in the UK, and come to visit in the holidays, and I dont mind that, as my daughter flies over to visit me...
But to date someone who has youngs kids (under 16) at home all the time, or who see their kids every weekend, well thats a no no for me...

No more so than meeting mom and dad. Why make it more difficult than it has to be. Kids adapt

you think? i really questioning what are you thinking now
i think that as a single mum i'd feel safer dating someone who has kids already. in addition, they wouldn't be jealous of the time i spend with my daughter either.
if someone judges me because i have a child then they're not the type of guy i'd want anyways.

I prefer not to date single fathers but it is not totally out of the question. I have dated only one single father since my divorce and when he told me his teenage daughter was his "princess" it was one of the reasons why one date was plenty, never saw him again.
I raised my one child,by the way she just got married. I don't have the responsibilty of a child and prefer anyone I am interested in not to either.

I have dated single and divorced mothers, and had no problem getting on with their children.
I dated a single dad of 2 once ...
I was a single mum of 2 as well ...
I knocked on the head because of the imbalance in relation to our children ...
His (very young) daughter made the decisions for him so we could never plan anything ... well we could ... but if his daughter decided that she wanted to be picked up from her mum's (during time she was supposed to be with her mum) then our plans went out the window!! This happened with regularity and we're not talking emergencies here!!
When we spent time all six of us together, HIS children ALWAYS had to be treated in favour of mine whatever it was about!!
He once said to me that he felt that in my view children should be seen and not heard ... this because I had rules in my home about what could be played where AND if they wanted to be really rowdy and noisy I'd ask them to go and do it in their room as we adults were talking in the livingroom!!
This of course being only the tip of the iceberg!!!
May be some men with children make it difficult for a woman to have a balanced relationship with them!!

I understand why you didn't get along with the sitution, but all situations are different and you really just have to play it by ear. Suck it and see as they say.

Oh yeah!!! Agreed!!
Nowadays I'd rather meet another grandfather and let our grandkids play together then take them back to their respective parents before
together!!!! lorind: I am trying to date a single dad..its so hard to get his heart..
You very well may already have his heart. But his child or children have to come first and maybe he needs to be sure about you. Don't be too upset, he is just thinking of protecting his children. I am a single dad, so take it from me, I do know what I am talking about.
narnia93: 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.

Honey, no 12 yr old girl is going to accept another woman for her Dad.
That's just her age. She would feel threatened. Give her another 3 or 4 yrs and she'll be begging someone to date her Dad!
I will be honest and say that at this stage in my life, I am still selfish. I like to be the focus and for that reason I don't date anyone with children. As someone who was raised by a single parent, I know firsthand that kids always come first and I respect that. And there are also lots of other people who wouldn't mind dating a single parent, so they'd be a better match for someone with kids than I would be.I would never ask someone to put me before their children so I just date people without children so I can get the level of attention that I am used to.
My kids accepted me dating ok untill my date suddenly tryed being mom right out of the box. My advice would be dont try and be mom to his kids, try being there friend first. they may accept you much better.
