Guys absolutely date pregnant girls. Babies are the big scary, but if a girl is confident and independent enough the guy doesn't have to worry about immediately becoming 'baby-daddy' to someone else's kid, it's down to whether they're mature enough to deal with a child constantly vying for attention (Which is important. If he's not ready for that, it's nothing against him. He's just not ready).

If your friend is searching for a father for her baby, she needs to dial it back and look for companionship for herself, first. Obviously, if he's not father material, he's not going to work, but just because someone's 'a great dad' doesn't mean he's an awesome partner.

My best friend was pregnant at 19. She wasn't married, she was breaking up with the father, and she had no intention of settling down any time soon. She had plenty of dates because the dating was still about HER not her coming bundle of joy.

Guys who won't date pregnant girls aren't ready for a relationship with the pressures of children involved. There are plenty who are, though, so there's no reason for her to shut down on her search for another - It sounds like the loss of her husband was tragic - good man to share her life with.

Kudos to you for being supportive in her hard time. Being pregnant sometimes leads to irrational emotional decisions, so keep an eye out for her. My best friend got a little bit crazy, deciding a passing 'what if' thought was absolute fact. A little calm talking down and she'd realize what she'd done.

Good luck!

I would just advise her to watch out. Don't think that just because your pregnant a guy won't love you and leave you. A lot of guys look for angles on the easiest way to get to sex. Some older guys think dating 20-somethings is a guarantee to get laid. Some young guys think it is all about the cougar. And, yes, some guys think if you are pregnant and single, you are an easy target. As long as she keeps sex out of it for a good while and they are both getting to know each other and build a relationship, then I see nothing to worry about.

Sadly, yes, it is not the norm and things that make people uncomfortable become ammunition for ridicule. Again, hopefully she is not sleeping with him. If she is, she may be bringing on trouble because she appears to be easy, not because she is pregnant and dating.

If the guy knows she's pregnant and wants to be with her and the baby's father is either not in the picture at all or at least not in a relationship with the girl, then I don't see a problem. She's lucky to have met a guy who's cool with it. She shouldn't let other people get to her especially if the guys a nice guy and treats her right. Fuck em they're not good friends.

What name would you even call someone in that condition? And how can they be considered "friends" if they call her names?

I think pregnant women can be very attractive... she needs to figure out (as the girls have already noted) if he is attracted to her or her pregnancy. Perhaps I'm taking the comment out of context, and he has indicated a number of reasons why he likes her, and this is only one of them.

Or maybe she just likes going out with someone right now, and isn't getting really emotionally invested and isn't too concerned if this is going to developing into something long-term or not.

But regardless, she needs to drop those so-called friends...

It really depends on the girl and if there was some chemistry there. But there several reasons why I would not. One, the ex. Where is he? Would be cause trouble? Would I have to constantly compete with him over her? Is he a psycho? Two, I'd have to understand and come to terms with being father, especially to a kid who isn't my own. Not everyone can handle that. 3rd, her being pregnant means that her priorities are set a lot different at the moment. She has a ton of things to do and think about besides dating.

honestly, I think it would be a very difficult pill for me to swallow. First of all, I'd be forced into a pregnancy that I had no choice or forewarning about. Secondly, it wouldn't be my child, and thirdly if a girl is (i'm trying to think of a euphemism...) shortsighted enough to get pregnant without any sort of financial assistance, father figure for her child, etc. then I really don't want to put my well-being partly in her hands. The obvious exception is if she got stuck in a really bad situation (divorce, etc.)

Eugene · Answer

Truly depends on a personality, age and mentality, but most men wouldn't do so.

Majority of men would be kinda like "distracted" with a fact that woman is carrying not that man's child.

Also, there are many things that you can't do together since she's pregnant (riding horses or going to the club for example).

Besides, not all men would prefer to have sex with a pregnant woman. And sex is important.

And last, but not least: having a baby is a huge responsibility. Not all men are ready to take a father's role that fast, support both woman and child etc. Having a baby is also quite expensive and many young guys aren't established their careers yet to deal with a baby.

Would I date a pregnant woman? Obviously no.

THAT'S SO WEIRD! it's kinda nice... but 'cause he said he likes being around pregnant women.. has he done it before?! an' if he has.. what the hell happened.. being pregnant and then breaking up with someone you're head over heels with.. damaging. please tell her to be careful! lovee x

Lucky1227 · Answer

... that's so weird like focus on your kid... maybe your friend shouldn't have been such a slut to have sex with some guy who wouldn't even stay with her.

ap1100 · Answer

Forget whether a guy would be interested. There are some guys who have a pregnancy fetish; that's no answer for a relationship.

The issue here is that your friend is pregnant but, 16 weeks after having sex with some guy, that guy is gone. Maybe for the benefit of her new child, she should take a break for awhile. There are responsibilities with being a parent and the idea that she has to fulfill herself by dating isn't a very good one. Focus on your child.

Dead_Musician · Answer

Generally speaking, no, they won't, but I think answers would vary with different age demographics. I'm sure 16-22 or so would be terrified at the idea, because they're still so young and haven't done very much with themselves. Ask a dude who's closer to 30 and they're probably much more prepared, so you'll get more guys saying yes.

Pregnancy is a big, big deal, and it could potentially be a lot for a guy to take on, so even if he really likes a girl, pregnancy kind of muddles things.

cutie_18 · Answer

I think she would be very emotional I too am 16 weeks and my husband just left me. Now I would never date anyone or let anyone other than the man who's fathering this baby close to me but maybe she's really lonely and hurt, so long as she makes him get tested before sleeping with him you guys should be nice and let it be.

WildVyse · Answer

I like the way a pregnant belly looks, but I just like bellies in general. However I myself would not date a pregnant woman, only because I'd want to be the father of my own children and I wouldn't even consider children until after I was married.

If I were to pursue a relationship with someone who was pregnant, it wouldn't be because she was pregnant. I can separate love from lust.

Masiah · Answer

hey..i think there is absolutely no problem from the girls point of view. Yeah but when you say that some guys like watching their belly grow, it's stupid. It's nothing about belly I think. She has every reason to be with someone. If the guy doesn't have any problem and he is okay to take care of the kid then I thinks it's awesome.

Take care

If her husband passed away and she is 16 wks pregnant, I say that is way to soon to be dateing again. That's not right,  and people are talking and there going to talk cause of what she did the dateing should have waited so in some people eyes yeah she does look like a slut. She right now needs to focus on getting a baby in the world, not men women like this just bug me.

Tigerlily · Answer

Whatever the case, if this guy likes being around pregnant women, bear in mind he'll be gone when the baby's born.

techione · Answer

NEVER date pregnant. not with intercourse anyway. it is very harmfull to the baby. it is also not anything that you want people to be talking about. the best time to hook up with a new guy is after everything is all settled down with a newborn.

katiesmuff · Answer

I have only a vague idea of who might be the daddy of my daughter, but all through my pregnancy and after of course I continually dated.  Some guys were only after the pu**y, but others thought it was pretty neat to be with a pregnant girl.

SmoothBlue17 · Answer

honestly I would not date a girl that is pregnant. where is the father? wouldn't he be mad knowing some other man is around her?  Also it would look kind of awkward... you know

megan7moo · Answer

I think I can understand y she is doing tht simplt for someone to  show tht they care for her and just want some guy attention. And to feel attravtive.

danalane · Answer

I think that a woman is in a fragile place when going threw a pregnancy. In my opinion I don't think it's good to get into a new relationship during a pregnancy. But just an opinion. Hope it helps.

Samanosuke47 · Answer

I think it's mean that you guys are calling her names. Hopefully she doesn't hear these names? And I don't see a problem with it.. I mean it is a little different. But it's meh. ya know?

Lockjawx27 · Answer

Hell no. Not while your pregnant, not after you have the kid. Go get the bad-boy that you chose to raise him, don't burden me with some other man's mistake

Phoenix52 · Answer

No, I'm not a wussy and I won't be taken for granted. I wouldn't mind being her friend, but sexual interest won't be there.

NotSoBad · Answer

I wouldn't date a pregnant woman.  They aren't in their normal state of mind and after the baby there would be a lot more stuff to deal with.
