I'm 21 and I have 3 kids.. I'm single now but I'm like mostly left with my kids.. the oldest I share with his dad things are ok...

Now I have gone on a few dinner dates with guys but it's like once they know I have 3 kids at my age.. they don't want to even talk to me.. is it a big turn off or something?

One date my sister called me on the date when my son was taken to the hospital the dude just got up and left when he heard that.. WTF guys.. This is one reason why some girls just give up on finding a good guy... Any ideas on that?

It's not your age that they don't like. It's the fact that they will have to compete for your time. It can be difficult for many guys to accept that they won't get to have you to themselves very much.
Although, they could be classier about it than just getting up and walking away.

Sorry girl, but your age combined with having three kids. That has irresponsible written all over it. Everyone is allowed a mistake, so I would never hold having a child against a girl. But three!?....ever hear of birth control?

Question Asker I was raped in the projects where I grew up at 17 years old.. makes my son 3... my last ex.. I won't go there lol.. Just kinda happen.. but really 3 kids 2 times of having sex and 1 I didn't want.. my last 2 r the twins so.. 2 in 1 shot.. - 7 months ago
Bubbles I really don't think it has anything to do with having 3 kids, I got 5 and I'm only 26. And guys don't treat me any different, I don't know if its cause I found a good guy or not. But if anything I would say more your age, but when in a relationship let the person get to know you more before you tell them you have kids. Cause your just scaring them off when you tell them that. - 4 months ago

There are definitely guys out there who wouldn't hold it against you that you have kids. You just need to find them. I've told this before on some other questions, but I have a similar situation with my girlfriend. She had a 4 yr.old when I met her; the father deserted her when she was three months pregnant. She wasn't even married, so she had the baby on her own, and is a single Mom. I accepted this as part of the total package when we met. Incidentally, I met her on line. You may want to try that, if you haven't already. Sometimes online dating does work; I met my love on it! Good luck; don't give up!

At your age, most guys are still interested in casual dating. Most of them don't have a well-paying job, and when they hear that you have three kids, they visualize all of their time and money being spent raising someone else's children. Children also cut down on the time the two of you can spend alone, which can make the man feel like you aren't able to spend time with him.

Having three children at age 21 means you probably started having kids when you were in high school. Unless you were married to your ex, this can seem like the result of poor future planning or immaturity, which could deter potential partners.

It might take a lot of work to find a man who will accept your current situation, but there are guys out there who will understand and be willing to help.

1.) they definitely can see you have probably slept around...
2.) They don't want you for any of the right reasons...
3.) You are not looking in the right direction...

You could say it more gently. Like instead of scaring them by OMG my baby is in the hospital!

Try addressing it like " Do you have any kids? " After their answer say, I really hate saying it because all the guys run away for some reason but I have 3 kids and I love them all. Say something good like you are completely against abortion! ( which I thank you for having 3 children.. your pretty much god sent... I hate abortions! )

They will respect that if they are good guys.. Say you really like the guy so you didn't want to scare them off but you didn't want them to be living in a lie.

If they go on a second date with you after knowing that, it means they really want to give you a chance. Meet guys at church groups rather than clubs. Or daycare centers rather than a place where no kids are aloud.

If you need any more advice, just comment or message me. ;) GOOD LUCK

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 19 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?

Describe your ideal first date; Where do you go? What do you wear? How does the date end?
My first ideal date would be going to the movies or out to a casual restaurant. I would wear jeans with a pair of flip flops and a regular Hollister or AEO t-shirt. The date ends with a mid-long hug or just maybe a light kiss.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
I would let my date know my interests and goals in life. and pretty much random things just to lessen the tension.

Would you date me?
