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 see nothing worng with what you said-:). As for OWais- if your a single parent that mean you have a kid, i mean ;) also has a good point, base on ones past your can look on it a decifer tthier character,
if a man or a woman, dont take part in their kids life i think that tell allot about the person, no matter whoever has custody.

My boyfriend has a 7 year old daughter and it was really hard at first. He doesn't have custody, but it's still a difficult situation to deal with. I think I dealt mostly with what other people would think. My parents put a lot of pressure on me to make good choices with my life and I knew that they would not find being a "step-mother" suitable. Also, I'm a virgin, so it was hard dealing with the fact that he shared a child with another woman.
But as I tried to deal with the feelings of jealousy and anger, I started to open my heart to his little girl and I absolutely love her. I really do. She calls me every night, sometimes to talk to my boyfriend but a lot of times just to talk with me. I really appreciate the relationship that I'm forming with her. I wouldn't wish her away...I love her...and I love the dynamic she adds to my relationship.

I don't know what the pro's would be, but I think everyone's pretty much covered the cons. I don't want to sound shallow, but when I hear that someone is a single parent I immedietly think that they aren't someone I want to get involved with. Perhaps that is unfair, because I certainly have my own baggage to bring to the table...
To be honest I haven't personally come across this situation, so maybe I'd feel differently if I was really attracted to the person on multiple levels.

I have been dating a single mom (that phrase just sounds so strange) for about 8 months now and it's been interesting how quickly I came to treat her 4 year-old daughter like she was my own. At first I was worried that she might get too attached and if anything happened between me and the girlfriend, Daybreak would be caught in the crossfire, now I don't really bat an eyelash anymore at her calling me "papa".
People who don't know me all that well often balk at the fact that I'm dating someone with a child.
I have no regrets.

Im a 25 year old single mum of two and to be honest I dont really have the time for men who dont have the streghth or courage to deal with the single parent situation. They preconcieve the idea that we want a substittute father or that we are needy when infact its quite the opposit. We are actually more then likely the most independent out of the lot and less needy. Afterall if we can juggle two children, wake with them in the night, feed them, clothe them, nurse them, put a roof over their heads and give them a comfortable life doesn't that prove something?
To answer your question, yes I would date a single parent as it would be great to find someone in a similar situation to me and understands what its like. I couldnt stand the thought of being with someone who didnt understand where my priorities lay.
