Is it wrong or judgmental for a 20-year-old woman to refuse dating an 18-year-old teen dad?

Not at all, no.

Anybody can refuse to date someone, for any reason. Nobody is entitled to a relationship with a specific person, so if you don't want to, you don't have to.

That's entirely reasonable, and completely your own business.

Nothing wrong w that. Just don’t expect men to date you if you ever become a single mother calling them insecure for not dating single moms. It’s a preference. Believe it or not people have preferences.

[Asker]

Yeah if I was a single mom I’ll totally understand probably look for single dads

[Asker]

Also I wouldn’t want to have kids unless I know I’m with the right person

[Asker]

Also it doesn’t make a person insecure for noting wanting to date single parents

Good luck to you.

Dating is voluntary. Anyone can say yes or no to anyone for any reason they can possibly come up with. Right and wrong don't factor into it. Everyone can have whatever standards/dealbreakers they choose to.

[EmmaMary]

Neither, it was quite simply your prerogative.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

[ManOnFire]

Nah. Lots of guys avoid young single moms too. I don't fault you for it.

[Anonymous]

That depends. What does the mom think of it? The child's, not his mom obviously. And here's where you tell me, "they're not together anymore". And i say, "did he impregnate her at 14"? Because the point i'm making is this. F*** No it's not wrong to refuse this guy! He's only 18 and has already f***ed up 3 lives (the mother, the childs and his). Why make it 4.🤦‍♂️

[Asker]

Yeah he never told me what age he had the child but I’m not ready for man with kids

[Opinion Owner]

And clearly if he's talking to you he wasn't ready to be a man with kids. So he doesn't need to be trying to make more.

[Asker]

Update I seen his Facebook profile it say engaged so I blocked and deleted his number

Don't see why. Reasonable for a person to decline someone with 1 or more children. it is hardly compulsory to accept single parents as romantic partners.

[HighValue]

If you don't have kids, don't date a single parent. It only adds stress and hardship to your life. It is best to be avoided.

[Mark_Est]

Both have a freedom of choice, no moral highgrounds, and neither needs to justify why the don't want to date someone

[DirtyOldMan777]

yes. what if the roles were reversed? men are always being judged for not wanted to date single moms.

[Asker]

If roles would reversed I’ll totally understand if a guy didn’t want to date a single mom

[DirtyOldMan777]

tell that to the internet. men are always getting slammed for not wanting to date single moms.

[Asker]

Me personally i wouldn’t shame a guy for that everyone different

[Anonymous]

No. He made the decisions that got him there. You are 20 and might not be ready to be a parent.

[AngryCarl3]

You're not under an obligation to date anyone. lol

[Nikki1989]

No, not at all.

[beenherebefore]

Not wrong. I think you did the right thing.

[lilBigPotato]

We all have our preferences 🤷‍♀️

[dudeinohio]

Everybody has a preference

[In_Trance]

Whatever works for you

[msc545]

You can date or not date whoever you like.

[Anonymous]

Nonsense

[Asker]

What is?

[Opinion Owner]

What do you mean by "father"? An 18-year-old married man?

[Asker]

He’s not married

[Asker]

He’s 18 year old guy with a child

[Opinion Owner]

You must refuse.

[Asker]

Okay thanks

[Staximus]

Of course not
