+1 yas a single father myself I can somewhat relate to trying to date when you have children from past relationship's. so I would be open to the idea of dating a single mother. to see where things lead and possibly blending the families together. if we happened to work out long term. however many single parents come with baggage plus drama from their past relationship's. that some people might not want to deal with long term. also the limited time they can spend together due to them dealing with their children might turn off some people.

+1 yAs a father of one, and one in the way, if i were to be single i could find pros and cons both ways. Mothers would be more understanding of commitments and priorities. But someone with no ties would be more flexible to fit around my schedule.

Asker+1 yWould you want more children?
- +1 y
Not sure. I'd have 2, approaching 40. Would take time to meet someone and be settled enough to have a kid. Don't think i would seek to have another one, but if she really wanted i could be persuaded
Asker+1 yI like your open mindedness

It is much easier when she doesn't have children.
I have, in a few cases, dated one with kids, and some dead-beat, d-bag and absent father! It's a lot more challenging, and as much as I tried, it hasn't worked. Not blaming anyone, or judging anything. It's just really hard, dating a single mother, with kids, and almost no support from anyone else.15 Reply
Asker+1 yThank you for your answer
Asker+1 yActually I am just a single woman with no kids. But I heard that it was easier today woman with kids
Asker+1 yI definitely understand that children come first that’s not the issue that I’m having. I don’t mind a man that has kids I’ve dated one. But it did come with a lot of baggage like the mother wasn’t stable so she had to stay with him a lot

@Asker So the opposite! He had kids, not you! Sorry, no experience with that! A lot of people bring a lot of baggage to the next relationship. Partly why I have been taking a break, to sort that shit, and leave those bags behind! Nothing major, or troublesome, but 'little things' and I don't want to bring those to the next. . .
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yWithout. I don't have any either and don't want any. I don't want to be a father figure, and even if that's not her intention, the child (ren) will become attached as time goes on, and I them. If it doesn't work out. Plus, they take up a lot of her time and energy and I'd like a little "clingy" myself lol. I want her time and energy for us.

@Pete671 That could be such a bad thing :3 kids are cute unless you don't want them
Asker+1 yWould ever want birth the kids yourself in the relationship?
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yDepends on the woman. Idgaf if she has kids, but I care if she’s someone who works hard to make sure her kids are successful. If she’s one of those woman who dgaf about their kids then no

Asker+1 yWell explained
+1 yIt doesn't matter to me. As long as she checks all the boxes for what I'm looking for in a relationship then it doesn't matter. I want a family anyways so kids aren't a deal breaker for me. It would be a plus if she was open to having one or possibly two more kids though.

+1 yWithout kids. It really is just too much baggage most of the time.
10 ReplyWithout kids, because it's easier.. I would rather us both grow and not have to worry about her kids likin me too.. Although if it was a toddler that's coo.. I wouldn't mind that..
00 ReplyI have been dating a single mom and found her very hot, eager to have sex, free in talking dirty. I believe that woman with kid can be more clingy if encouraged.
