Would you date a single parent?
Give me a min let me check on my kid; o I got to call you back he/she is crying.
Well it would have bin a great experience but only if I could make it, I have to take my son swimming on the week end, or my daughter to ballet class. These are just a few of the parses that kills it for a single person who is hoping to go out with a single parent.
But we all have different view, could you share them please?

I am currently dating a single father, it has a LOT of ups and downs but I think it's worth it. We are 8 years apart and I never even thought about having kids, now I get to entertain a 3 yr old full of energy. The mother does have full custody but divorce isn't pretty and she's done a lot of things to spite my bf through the kid and that is a relationship that HAS to stick around for a lifetime. It's really hard sometimes but I love them both to death.

I've been a single guy who entered a relationship with a single mum. At the time she had one child, a baby boy. Something clicked and we dated for a while. Eventually, i moved in and were in a relationship for two years before we had a child of our own. I treated her child as if he were my own without second thought.
I've loved the family feeling and some men do crave the family life, like me. It takes a special sort of man to accept anothers child and raise them as his own. I've never had a problem with kids and love entertaining them and playing around (i'm a big kid myself lol)
Its not suited for everyone unfortunately, as most men just want sex or maybe want a relationship where they can take that someone out without having to book in advance so that that person can get a babysitter.
I hope this has helped. :¬D

good point,But i have to disagree with you when you say most man just want sex.
we all want sex yes, but making love is so much better. i think people enter into relationship hoping for the best, at least in most instances.

Maybe if I am still single into my 30s or 40s, then this is something I would have to be more willing to attempt because the dating pool of single and childless women/men greatly decreases as we age. But right now, I’m still young and there are plenty of girls out there that aren’t divorced or have kids that I could date.
Don’t get me wrong, I like kids, but I’m just not ready to have one...or be involved in a relationship where a kid/s needs to be a priority. I’m a spontaneous-type of person and I like dating women who can just pick up and go with me somewhere on short notice. Sure I plan sometimes, but I love the fact that if we want to stay out all night, we can. I don’t want to be forced to come home to relieve the babysitter or her duties, etc.
Whether or not people think I’m a jerk for saying it, I’m going to be honest and just say it. I would rather not date someone who is divorced and/or a Mom. It’s just too much for me. I don’t want to deal with the baby’s Daddy or ex-husband drama, all that divorce and custody crap - ugh! It makes my head hurt just thinking about it! However, I give the guys who can deal with all of that a lot of credit!
I know some people don’t CHOOSE to be divorced or CHOOSE to be a single parent. And I am sorry they find themselves in that situation because I’m sure dating can be hard.

perfectly said, David. I think in life everyone has a choice, and not because a woman has a child she is less than the other, i hope people don't think thats the message your trying to convey because i doubt thats the case.

what he said.
i'm still young and at this point I still consider this "extra baggage" and something i'm NOT ready to get into. as I age and if i'm still single in my 30s and 40s i may have to reconsider this..
