Would you ever date a single parent?

[19magic]

Just seeing what chance I have once I'm ready, was dating a guy to find out he's engaged, ditched him then and there, and 10 weeks later found out I was pregnant I've always been prolife and decided to keep her and glad I did she's a little sweetie

Yes - only if the other person is involved

Yes - only if ths other person isn't involved

No never

Yes - either doesn't bother me

Dung heap, I like that a better term then I would have used for the 4-6 months as I spiralled into a hole. Thanks for that I needed to hear that, all I've had is bias from my friend and thoughts inside my head. Just need to take each day as it comes

[Grobmate]

Only if the other parent is in the picture, (50/50 custody), and there was an acceptable reason why they aren't together.

Being a step parent is one of the most rewarding and undeniably painful experiences one can ever have. It's like being expected to be the kid's dad and provide love and care, but not have any rights. So when she/he leaves you like they did the last person... ohh man.

Not all cases are like this, but I have found a lot of single parents are in that position because of poor life choices and they expect someone else to pock up the tab. It can be like taking over someone's messed up saved game and not having any rights over the outcome, yet shouldering responsibility.

Very risky.

I don't agree with everything this guy says, or the brutal fashion in which he delivers his message. But... there is a lot of truth in it. Been there and watched other guys go through it. Remember this does NOT reflect all cases at all.

[19magic]

Yeah I get it, I did make a poor life decision, I wasn't careful enough with both sex and protection (obviously), and I am going to be poorer than I would have been if it didn't happen. Doesn't mean I'm going to give up on wanting to open my own business and still doing my university course for accounting. Which was why I'm curious about what people think of me. It's sad though to know that women can be so vain, mean and suck-ups/ gold-diggers to con a man in a relationship, but then maybe a man shouldn't immediately marry, everyone knows that men get the worst cut, so maybe they should hold off on it and see how the woman reacts

[Grobmate]

It is entirely the gynocentric legal system that enables them to do it. You should take no offense in making a poor life decision. We all do. Unfortunately children as an outcome are more dire a consequence.

This is NOT THE END! It does not mean that you head off and in recompense for a bad decision consider yourself bereft of Men. In most countries, adoption grants the step oarent equal rights, legally referred to as "Parental Responsibility".

The case I referenced in my original reply is one born from my own experience, where unfortunately adoption was unavailable to me as the biological parent must agree. I would ask that you reframe the video I linked and use it to serve as a "what not to do" moving forward.

Sometimes in life, we end up in the dung heap and usually from our own actions and poor choices. We humans pass water, we do not walk on it. From dung heaps, beautiful roses grow. Your child is deserving of love, care and everything life brings him or her and the child is a blessing upon your life. It gives your life purpose. And there will be someone, (assuming the Father wants not to be), who will show you kindness, love and devotion and extend all three to your child. The ball is in your court.

A child is never an excuse not to prosper or move on in life, but the contrary.

[19magic]

Can tell I'm tired, I thought I replied but updated the question instead, what a planker lol but yeah that was meant for you

[Grobmate]

Lol lol

[Grobmate]

No problem at all. One last peice of advice, if I may, is that rather than one day at a time, go one month at a time. Set reasonable and measurable goals for yourself for each week in that month. For each goal of yours set a family goal too.

Compare yourself to who you were last week and not who someone else is this week. Your success is yours and never judge success off others. Own it.

[Logorithim]

My girlfriend is a single mom. It's definitely not for everyone. I'd suggest dating an older guy who is a parent because he is better able to handle not being at the center of everything in your life.

[Goodwifie]

This is where a lot of guys get annoyed when she doesn't make him her first priority.

[Logorithim]

@Goodwifie: Having three kids myself, I'm not fazed by that.

[Goodwifie]

So you'd understand.
Honestly if I did date date a single father it would put me right off if he didn't make them first priority.

[SueShe]

Dating does not imply that you have to marry them or live with their clan.

You can date for a number of reasons and my first choice would always to find someone I am comfortable on an intellectual level.

Intimacy is only secondary and only starts playing a role for me once I am satisfied with how they can challenge me intellectually.

So yes, I would date a single parent but make sure to tell that person that I am not into sex but more into an intellectual togetherness.

[Larajeanfake]

I don't think I could and it's just because they have started their life without me and with someone else most likely. I want to be the first one to start a family with. I find it hard to look past the fact they have a child that isn't necessarily mine. I guess to me, when I look at the child I'm going to think of the person they were with before and that's a bit uncomfortable. Plus I want that enjoyment of being together without kids. So I think for me it's a deal breaker.

[ManOnFire]

I already have. And about to do it again.

[PrincessGrail]

I did

Happy for you and your baby girl

[PumpkinKiing]

I wouldn't let the fact that someone im interested in is a single parent affect my decision to date them. I want a family myself some day, and if i was dating someone that already had a kid, I would hope that she would be willing to have at least one more, with me.
I know a lot of people worry about a step parent playing favorites, but if I was there as the kid grew up, then i wouldn't treat them any differently. Because i helped raise them, i tied shoes, read them fairy tales, kissed scraped knees, taught them to stand up for themselves, was there the first time their heart was broken...
I can't imaging being that involved in someone's life and not loving them.
One problem i can see in this situation is that both parties should be either super casual, or super serious about the relationship basically from the beginning, or it really won't work out. Also, you want to be as sure as possible that the person you date is someone that is going to be around for a long time before they meet your kid. Having someone become a big part of their life, then that person just disappearing one day, can really mess up a kid.

[ChurchOfIron]

I would fuck a single mother. I would have a casual relationship with her. But I would never have a serious relationship with her. For various reasons.

Namely, I'm not going to dedicate my life and resources to another man's offspring. That's called a cuck. I get nothing out of that, and if I decide to have children, another man's child is taking the resources--mental, time, emotional--from my genetic child.

If things go badly, and I've been playing ball with little Timmy or playing video games with little Jessica, when the relationship is destroyed, that's triple the heartbreak.

[Miristheiss]

No, I'd never date a single parent. I don't want someone's else's kid and for the woman's devotions to be so divided at the beginning of a relationship and I don't want to get involved in all of the chores and problems and having a kid. I want the beginning of a relationship to be fun and carefree and spontaneous and I want my own kids... not to inherit a ready made family.

The only exception to this would be in the hypothetical that one day I become a single dad... as in my wife dies or we divorce after we already have a child. Then I'd be entering the dating pool in my 30's as a single dad than I'd be open to other single moms.

[GingerGuy]

It does bring up concerns and while it's not an automatic deal breaker, it's close. Not because I don't like kids, but because I know they will take up a lot of your time and energy and I wonder what's left for me/us? I agree with @Logorithim, you'd probably have the best luck with single dads, however there are some guys that won't mind or care.

[Anonymous]

Women always say they wouldn't date a guy with a kid.
Once they fall in love with me, then they find out and it's like "Awww, you have a son, that's so cute!"
They change their mind.
Don't let people's bullshit get you down.

[Dinklex3]

Hahaha.
I said no I would not, but if of course there are exceptions. Never really know.

[djmzes]

I would not but it is my opinion and everyone is free to find the own destination.

[Ryunn]

That’s so sweet you put your baby girl first and decided to raise her I respect that. My last girl friend has a daughter and it didn’t bother me. To be honest that was the first time I have ever dated a girl with a child and I thought it was going to be completely different and difficult. In the end the fact she had a daughter was not really a huge problem or a deal breaker. (Also that had nothing to do with why we broke up)

[BronzeLion]

Yes it did, you just don’t want to believe it, you see the moment the father came running back into her life you’re 2nd best. If you had any self respect you wouldn’t have chosen to be someone’s babysitter for free. People pay good money for babysitters and she used you. Accept that you’re a weak man

[Ryunn]

What? No half the time her daughter was with her father and the other half with her. I never once “babysat” for her or was used to clear up your terribly wrong assumption about me. The father also never came RUNNING back into her life they were happily separated. Who hurt you is the better question? Years of being used and never good enough made you a weak person.

[BronzeLion]

hahahaha happily seperated, yeah ok mate i believe you xD

[pooper89]

I have been on a date with a single parent (2nd date) and he actually brought his two sons. It was kinda awkward and I honestly wasn't that into him by the end of the day.
I would consider seriously dating someone who was a single parent only if I felt that our relationship had a good chance of leading to marriage.

[BronzeLion]

This is a big problem because it's not my kid and the mom will put the kid before me. Instead of picking a decent nice guy you chose that bad guy who left you. Why should you now put you and your baggage infront of a nice guy? We don't deserve it and I laugh at single mothers aged 18 onwards who still think they can get the best guys.

[Goodwifie]

You don't sound like a nice guy to me.

[BronzeLion]

@Goodwifie oh ok sorry to disappoint you, so instead do you want me to be ‘nice’ and tell girls what they want to hear to get them into bed and then ditch them when they are pregnant? 😂

[Pejtu]

Never single moms and single dads are stereotypes of "she is fkn crazy , or he is " kind of people that the person who loved her or him left leaving the them the kid
Never date a single mother as a guy
Never date a single dude as a girl
Why because something is wrong with them , it always is

[awkwardman]

Sorry to say but i know 3 guys who are single dads and none of them are crazy but 2 of them have exs that are. 1 went of the deep end for drugs, another tried to kill the kid. The 3rd guy well his wife died in a car crash. The only crazy thing about them is the hours they work.

[buttcrackjoe]

At my age I wouldn't only because I have more options. Kids are and should be number one priority, children gaurantee traces of your ex linger and a lot of times there is drama in these situations if not widowed. I happen to enjoy the company of children so when I get older and the field narrows I will have no qualms dating a single mom.

[stormbreaker06]

single moms are like cancer.

stay away from them. and stay away from their bastard kids.

[Pulimuli]

While i agree that you should probably stay away from single mothers there is no need to call the children bastards 😂

[ConfusednClueless]

We don't want you anyway! 😂👌🏻

[stormbreaker06]

@ConfusednClueless thanks.

[BronzeLion]

@Pulimuli no offense but jon snow didn't live up to his expectations and fell back into his bastard ways by murdering his queen. I actually thought the queen was mad but now I've realised the mad people are all those around her because they think they are good people but actually they were in it for themselves including the imp. Bastards are those without fathers and they end up twisted.

[19magic]

So what about those ones without mother's if there a word for that

[BronzeLion]

what do you mean?

[19magic]

Well bastards are kids without dads, what about those kids without mums

[stormbreaker06]

they have a chance. but its up to them and the decesions they make.

[BronzeLion]

they are still bastards because they'll end up being too masculine if they are constantly growing up with just a father. The 50:50 parental dynamic matters

[ConfusednClueless]

My neice is raised by her father and is all girl.

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless i dont think you understand

[ConfusednClueless]

No, I understand just fine. See not having one parent doesn't mean you kids don't have that gender of a role model.

[Pulimuli]

@BronzeLion uh no bastards are children born outside of marriage but nobody cares about that anymore because its not the 1800s

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless

Im afraid to say but you're wrong, girls who dont have fathers have daddy issues. Girls who dont have mums haven't been nurtured properly and in adulthood it matters.

[ConfusednClueless]

Step moms & Step dad. Are real. Just because its not your thing doesn't mean they aren't real

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless they aren't the same thing and you know it, it makes things worse as the sibling will resent their parent for moving on and the step-parent never treats the child properly as they aren't there's. It's best if the single parent spends the rest of their life at Castle Black.

[ConfusednClueless]

Not all step fathers are like that. My kids have two different fathers. My oldest was 3 when we met. We split due to a medical reason but have 3 kids together. He to this day talks about his 4 kids and how great everyone of them are. He never treated my oldest different. He has her name tattooed right there with the rest of his kids. He never says that is my step daughter. He says that is my oldest daughter. When people ask why she is white he tells them because god gavd me with a white daughter. Many of his newer friends didn't even realize she wasn't his biological daughter. They say things like wow she really took after mom. She got none of your genes and he just agrees. Maybe, you had a bad experience but thats not always the case. My best friend is also married to a man that will talk all say about his 4 kids. When he only biologically has 3.

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless one of your own children is a pit of sinking sand and one of his children is in a pit of sinking sand. You can only save one child, who would you pick?

[ConfusednClueless]

There all mine. So both if not we all go together.

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless
Look it even happens in the animal kingdom with the kings of big cats... (i'd show you a video but i have to be XPER level 3).. A lioness got hitched up and she dumps her kids on an unsuspecting single male. It's natural and i dont judge your partner for being with you ok

[ConfusednClueless]

I wouldn't care if you did. It takes a strong man to love someone elses kids as his own. I ain't mad that most men aren't that strong. There are plenty that are and there real kings. Everyone can't be a king.

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless hahaha you twisted it! The single male lion kept galloping away from the cubs!!! He was totally mortified that a lioness did this. Sorry but settling for a partner whose been hitched by another man is weak, how you think that's strong is ridiculous. Male Lions kill all the cubs if they want to become king of a pride of lionesses. Whilst that is against the law in human civilisation, it means we as men can never respect you the way you couldve been respected if you chose a decent man at the beginning! I'd never settle for 2nd best, if you want me you should wait until you find me or go to castle black and hope i turn up there too ;P

[Miristheiss]

@Pulimuli
"A person born of parents not married to each other"
That is what a bastard is.

[Miristheiss]

@ConfusednClueless
LOL!
I call BS.
You see what you did there, you try to lay this on the men... they aren't "strong" enough.
You chose sex outside of marriage and became a single mom.
It isn't a weak man problem, it is wise for a single, childless man to seek out single, childless women for a potential mate and wife to start a family with.

You were weak by putting out without making him put a ring on it first.

Decisions have consequences.
I know, you prefer to spin it that the men are too weak to appreciate your great situation you have got going on.

[BronzeLion]

@Miristheiss women just make stuff up to appear like they are good for us. It is up to us to decide if they are good for us not them. We know single mothers aren’t good for us and that’s a fact of life. You see on the back of our minds the baby daddy left her but isn’t out of the picture completely, the baby is a reflection of him a constant reminder that we are 2nd best. The mother of given the choice would always open her arms back to the baby daddy and dump 2nd best. There are comments in this page of men who were dumped by a single mother for no apparent reason. They claim not to know the reason why, we know the reason why. A few years ago a single mother told me there’s no point in getting married, I thought to myself why she asks this, she was trying to drag me down into thinking what she did is ok (hitched before a ring on the finger). Single mothers use men to babysit and for sex and that’s it. I see so many write on their bio ‘have and don’t want any more’ 😂😂

[19magic]

Well considering I left him, moved away from his home city and to my home city there's 3 hours between us and he doesn't even know he has a daughter. Then to top it off he's engaged to someone and just brought a house with her, and she didn't believe me when I told her that we had sex, that I was making up lies to rock the boat, then her friend told me this isn't the first time he's done something like this to her.

Yeah the dude is out of the picture, it was a casual relationship and we used a condom which obviously didn't work. Lastly I don't believe in marriage, tbh I think it's an excuse to do whatever you can to bag the person and then you start acting like yourselves once your locking in by a ring and contract

[Miristheiss]

Decisions have consequences.

Enjoy your casual sex, don't believe in marriage..."we used a condemn" consequences.

[ConfusednClueless]

@BronzeLion We are humans not lions.
@Miristheiss I am a single mom now after 7 years of marriage. So yea, he did put a ring on it. 🤣💯 As for my oldest, no matter how much you taunt I won't feel bad. Some men are capable of being with a single mom. It's nothing against those who aren't. Everyone has there talents. Some men are talented at being with single moms. No one is mad at you for not wanting that. Thats your personal choice. You just don't have to bash others who do want that or don't mind it. Just because its not for you doesn't mean its not valid. Also, as well if you read above I stated we didn't want y'all either. No one is trying to convince you of shit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You really though someone cared that much about you. OMG 🤣🤣🤣 To damn funny!!!

[Miristheiss]

Study after study confirms many girls will run into issues and problems when they grow up without a present, loving father.
Hopefully there is a strong grandfather figure that can be in her life who can be there for her.

[ConfusednClueless]

A Present Loving Father, it doesn't have to be there biological father.

[Miristheiss]

@ConfusednClueless
I didn't bash you. Don't play victim with me.
I only responded when you pulled your "some men aren't strong enough and these men are kings" line... as if single moms are some great catch in the dating world for single, childless men.

Single dads are your most likely "kings".

[19magic]

I am dealing with it, she's a little cutie and I love her more and more 3 months and she's already starting to stand by herself and will be walking before I know it.

I made a decision to keep her and I knew what that implied and the consequences of it. I don't believe in marriage as every married couple I've ever met has serious problems with one of them being married but living in separate homes and are 'separated' but can't afford the pay for a divorce. For years I never believed that love between partners was true or all encompassing, I've never seen one relationship like that only in stories

[19magic]

Well I grew up without a motherly presence, well not a good one that lasted till I was 7 and I've known my stepma since I was 8, although I consider her like a sister (she's only 11yrs older) and I'll have you know she loves her grandad

[ConfusednClueless]

I never said I was a victim. No one here is a victim. It is a debate. Debates have no victims. Also, I am entitled to my view. My view is step dads and yes single dads are true heros.

[Miristheiss]

@ConfusednClueless
"no matter how much you taunt I won't feel bad". You are acting like I'm picking on you.

"Some men are capable"
Try "want". Capable or not, many men don't WANT a woman with another guys kid right from the very beginning of the dating process.
Most want a single woman with no kids and to have their OWN kids at a later date that they plan together... not from day ONE.

Many are capable, we just choose women without kids and to have our own kids not to adopt someone else's.

I'll let you get back to your..."many men aren't capable... they aren't talented at... they aren't strong enough... they aren't kings..." BS (thinking you are being attacked when you are the one putting others down).

[ConfusednClueless]

OMG, no I don't feel sorry for having my oldest. No, your comments about me opening my legs don't offend me. I love how the man who spent this whole time bashing women for having kids. When in reality of you don't like it then don't talk to them. No on is forcing you. So stop crying about it. I also love how your cry poor you after you and ypur counter part saying "women just make up stuff to appear there good for us", "single mothers use men to babysit and for sex and that's it", " enjoy you casual sex don't believe in marriage... "we used a condemn" consequnces", " you were weak by putting out without making him put a ring on it first.", "single moms are cancer" ... News flash, avoiding men like you are a blessing not a consquence. Like I said. We don't want you either. It wasn't a joke. We seriously have no interest in you and we have no remorse for being in a situation that keeps us away from you. 😂😂😂😂 Sorry not sorry. Single mother aren't just hoping the can have you. 😂 They don't long for you. 😂😂😂😂 Also let me mind you for every single mom there is at least one single father. So take your pent up aggression tward females "putting out" else where. You seem to have this pure hate for single moms. If you don't like single mom then don't date one. Stop crying about it. It's not your situation. So no your problem. Understand when a single mom/dad gets "rejected" by a man/women they don't cry about it. They laugh and think dodge that bullet. 😁

[ConfusednClueless]

Also, no capable fits because even some men want to but fail at it. It's not easy. They have to want it and be capable of it.

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless
Why do women hide the fact that their kids don't belong to their partner only for them to find out later with a paternity test that actually she was unfaithful and he raised someones kids, we've literally seen ther hearts break on live tv. There are men whose hearts break when they find out and other men who's partner believes the kid is there's and actually isn't run around jumping with joy, why is that? You use the excuse lions aren't people, i find that insulting as Lions are majestic and act on instincts and intelligence. If i want a girl and she's got a kid thats not mine, she needs to ditch the kid and raise mine. Any man who doesn't agree with this is weak and a failure at life.

[Pulimuli]

@BronzeLion ditch the kid? Say what? I do understand and agree with that every man wants his children to be his, biologically its what mens purpose is - to pass on his genes

But are you saying they should throw their baby in a dumpster?

[ConfusednClueless]

BronzeLion, I actually agree with you there. That cheating and lying shit is pathetic. As for ditching kids. If anyone women ditches her kids for a man. She need her ass beat.

[ConfusednClueless]

Only a dumb how would do some shit like that.

[ConfusednClueless]

hoe*

[BronzeLion]

@Pulimuli im saying it's hypothetically impossible to agree on a resolution that will please the single man and the single mother without the single man compromising his paternal instincts and fatherly role. Civil law says you can't kill babies like a lion can kill another lions cubs. The single mother has to go to castle black and live out the rest of her life without a partner and not be allowed to have any more kids either.

[ConfusednClueless]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lord, be with me today. Imma laugh off the only ass I have left.

[BronzeLion]

@ConfusednClueless @Pulimuli LOL look at you two twisting it all to make decent strong minded men who want the best for their life look bad. When you read things you see it face value, you dont read along the lines and accept that single parents bring the issues they create onto innocent single people. You made your choice now deal with it.

[Pulimuli]

@BronzeLion im not sure what ur rambling on about. You said ditch their kid and I wanted you to explain what you mean

[BronzeLion]

@Pulimuli we both know a mother wouldn't do that ;) bad luck

[Pulimuli]

@BronzeLion would you ditch your kid for a woman if you were a single parent?

[BronzeLion]

@Pulimuli firstly i'd marry a woman before that happens and if say the woman takes a turn for the worst and i am widowed, i'd go to castle black with my kid and live out the rest of my days as i accepted my choice like a decent human being. I'd not throw my baggage onto another person who has a whole life ahead of them :) thanks for asking

[Pulimuli]

@BronzeLion you say that but it wouldn't go down like that.

[19magic]

@BronzeLion so I gather you're a virgin then?

[BronzeLion]

@19magic are you saying there's something with them?

[19magic]

Not at all one of my mates is a virgin, another isn't not really that big a deal, I'm saying it's wrong to be high and mighty about sex if you're also not a virgin yourself

[ConfusednClueless]

Well since I like single dads looks like we are throwing our baggage on each other. 😂 Guess we'll goon vacation with all out baggage already packed. 😑😂

[BronzeLion]

@19magic no ones being high and mighty, you like your predecessor @ConfusednClueless are making out single parents as victims, the reality is you chose that escapee partner and no one should have to pick up someone elses pieces.

[19magic]

Not saying anyone has to pick up any pieces if that's the attitude then we wouldn't want you anyhow. Good one if only my parents were married I could have been abused for a few more years then the year long custody case as it was, what a brilliant idea.

All I'm saying is you want a virgin bride which is fine if you're a virgin yourself, (and before you said I never said that, you said I'd stick a ring on it before any hanky panky) so unless you're a virgin then it's wrong to be so mighty about sex

[ConfusednClueless]

Saying single parents are victims would mean the children are a burden. My child are NOT a burden therefore. I am not a victim. As well, I don't need anyone to pick up pieces. Like I said before. Single parents don't want you. Therfor, you don't have to worry about it. 😂 There are 49 men on this survey alone. Not to mention those who would if the other parent wasn't involved. So there is many more in the big big world. No single mom needs you. Go find your virgin bride. GoodLuck! Make sure to tell her Daddy your not a virgin. 👌🏻

[BronzeLion]

@19magic @ConfusednClueless both of you are now bringing virgins into it and you clearly think I’m a bad person 😂😂. I actually dated a virgin girl whose dad left her when she was just a baby and she was bullied at school. I just wanted friendship and I helped her through depression and then she suggested dating. I didn’t like what I saw on the dates as without a father she had issues I never picked up until then. She wanted me and even sat on my bed waiting and at no stage did I think of taking her virginity like a bad guy would. I am not driven by sex and the funny thing is you won’t find decent guys like me because you chose a guy who was driven by sex ☺️ it made me laugh when I heard a group of girls tell people that decent guys don’t exist when I’m sitting 5metres away. An older man told the girls that it is a girls responsibility to find that guy because they don’t act like the guys you think are good for you 😬

[19magic]

Umm you brought virgins into it by saying if you were to have sex you'd stick a ring in it first 🤔 and kudos to you if you are also a virgin that's all I'm saying.

I said I accept my baggage and all that entails, I wasn't in a permanent situation and opened my legs as you say, maybe I won't get a nice guy just perhaps a decent one who's real and not that bothered about things whether that's a single dad or not I'm not all that fussed (I know I would've dated a single dad before I had a kid), I'm laid back and patient and it's not like I want just the one child and I've got many years to get on with my life and continue on with my goals.

The only other question is what's your thoughts about adoption then since it has to be your child only.

[ConfusednClueless]

Your not decent tho 😂👌🏻💯 Now, ByE

[BronzeLion]

@19magic if a child loses its father and mother and out of all their possibilities they chose me, i'd welcome them with open arms :D i was the chosen one! (why? because i am not driven by sex and im inclined to get on with the child just to get into their mothers knickers like how @ConfusednClueless expects of a man and thinks is good haha)

[BronzeLion]

@19magic Also it wasn't me who brought of virgins, it was your pal @ConfusednClueless who is butthurt she never met a guy like me 😥😂😂

I wouldn't rule it out, but there are definitely some additional caveats that wouldn't be there for non-moms.

When I was in college I worked one summer where my supervisor was a young single mom close to my age. I was initially interested, but at that point in life I didn't want to deal with baby stuff - though her smoking was a bigger turnoff.

Of course! If we like each other, who knows what could happen? A woman doesn’t deserve to be alone, purely because she has a child.

Nope. I dont date single moms or divorcees. If you werent married you dont believe in waiting for marriage. And if you are divorced either you dont actually stand by your commitments or you have lousy choice in men ie you wanted a bad boy and you got one. Sorry. Not sorry.

If the ex is involved in the child's life, that has no bearing on me dating a single mom. However, if there is still possibly some romantic involvement between the ex and the mom, I'm staying away from that drama.

Definitely not. I want to be his first priority once we’re in a serious, long-term relationship and I don’t like kids.

No matter how much I am into a single parent, if they are not available, then it is like dating a married man... it is fun for awhile but there is no real future
