Hypothetically, if you were to become a single parent, would you give dating a go again in the future? (Page 2)

Question

#WhatsTheScenario Okay so if i decide to go through with invitro, I understand that I’ll be less wanted because I’ll be a single parent. I slick don’t really care because my kid would be my dang near everything. But after about 2-3 years, if the opportunity rolled around with a guy I found attractive, and he was genuinely interested in a serious relationship that would eventually lead to marriage, I’d be down to give it a shot. But i will not be “hooking up” just because thats what most deem is all a single parent is good enough for. I’ve never been big on hookup culture and well, my standards will remain the same before and after I’m a parent. Plus, I want to remain a good influence for my future children because they shouldn't have to see a bunch of “dates” running in and out of mommy’s life. So What about you? If you are or were a single parent (just hypothetically speaking since i know many are so against the idea), would you still take a chance on being in a relationship in the future?  I already know I want kids sooner than later. Thats been a thing forever. Bt i also know that I’ve always wanted to give birth to any and all of my future children before i turn 30. Anything after 30 would preferably be adoption. Ideally, I’d date a person for 2 years, get engaged for 6 months to a year and then marry. But thats unlikely if i still want a kid before 30. Its just not enough time. I hate my past relationships weren’t with the right people and that time was wasted, but Im also not going to settle with some guy just for the possibility of starting a family. #FeelFreeToList

I dated while being a part time custody father. My daughter hated my girlfriend at the time (she was closer in age to her then me so there was that).

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Why would you want to wait until your kid is 3? I say start dating right away so you can find someone as soon as possible. Babysitters are a thing.

kellytheman · Answer

I think I would and I think if the kids where a little older or mature they might actually show there approval to starting dating again weather the kids mother were split upped or i became a widower.

A date and a kid? I'm not sure why but this hypothetical situation is causing me migraine

Skywalker43 · Answer

Of cousre I would start dating again at some point. I deserve to have a happy and healthy relationship just like people with no kids. I never understand why single parents are seen as bad people or terrible parents just because they are datung.

DevinAM · Answer

Probably, I'd like to have someone in my life that I can do things with that I can't with my hypothetical child & if they work, the extra income would be helpful if we get serious (which I would like).

Sparkie460 · Answer

Yes I would give it a shot. I wouldn't bring anyone home until I was absolutely sure she was the one. Nobody would see my kid until that time

XXblack88 · Answer

No I wouldn't. My dad dated when me and my sister were teens he also married her.

TheAfrikan · Answer

If am not into jerking off night and day no more, then dear i would possibly hit the road and find myself a girl.

ElvenMr · Answer

I would. My kid (s) would need a mother who lives with them.

maximumpower · Answer

might date again but will never consider another "serious" relationship.

the_sinner · Answer

I’ll first try to check if my kid would be comfortable with me dating and eventually partnering with someone and then I’ll give it a try.

Waldoe · Answer

absolutely, Humans are not meant to be alone... a family is not complete without 2 parents

Slim57 · Answer

Yeah I'd want the kid to have 2 parents, considering if I even got custody of course
