Would you date a single mum?

I wonder how many people would consider a serious relationship with someone who already has a child/ children. Or would you date but not want things to end in a long term commitment? What ground rules would you want/expect?

Hi, beggars can`t be choosers lol, certainly would date a single

mum,i`d go into it with an open mind and if we click, we can take

things further ;0)

Hi woohoo

At our ages the odds of meeting a single woman without children
are very slim and therefor i feel you have to take them as a package as i would hope the woman would if i had children to bring into the relationship.

Not all men are the same obviously i can only speak for myself.

Hi woohoo

Yes I would date a single dad, think it's the person first and then whatever their package is, if you felt enough for them it would become your package ...so to speak!

The only thing I do know is I couldn't face having anymore children myself, at my age it would be a no go, so If someone wanted children then that would be a deciding factor in not sadly continuing or even starting :-)

I think Shar's made a good point...

All very well asking would you date a single mum, but would women want to date a single dad?

no thanks!!!

I have my own children.

I have to deal with 23 other children five days a week.

The last thing I want is to deal with yet more children on my days off - it would be like a busman's holiday!!!

:):):):)

I'd definately date a single dad.

If he was willing to take on me and what come with me then Id certainly be willing to take on his little darlings too.

Each to their own and fairs fair.

I wasn't being totally serious there, but there is an element of truth in what I said !!!!

However, never say never...

Mind you little darlings can quickly turn in to little devils, but I suppose it depends on how much chocolates and sweeties they've had!

hi jue

I just hope when im 45 i look as good as you.xxx

(nothing to do with the threat i know but your stunning and i couldnt resist saying so)

I'd have no problem with dating a single mum, it would just mean you'd have to be able to get on with the kids as well as the mum if there's to be a future in it.

Hi Woohoo! For me it's quite simple. As a mother you want someone who is going to stick around if the child is young. As a man, I'd want a woman who could love me enough to bear my child if that were possible, because I wanted family life all along, but due to circumstances beyond my control this didn't happen. To be a father to someone else's children, I would have to have an equal role as parent, and that is only really possible if the child is very young. Issues of children and responsibility must come second to love though, commitment without love is not possible, unless it's just going to be a job as a paid carer, and I certainly wouldn't expect to bring children into the world on a whim.

I am aware that not everyone respects my view, but I'd rather remain true to myself.

I would date a single dad, its the person that counts.

"I am aware that not everyone respects my view"

I don't think it's a case of people not respecting your view, but they just having a different view.

"...but I'd rather remain true to myself."

absolutely! Wouldn't expect anything less.

I think one of the reasons I don't want a long term partner is because I don't want anyone to be a surrogate father to my children. They have a perfectly good father.

I like it being the three of us and I am able to support me and my children, and keep a roof over our heads..just !!!

Of course, that is my view at present, my outlook might change in the future.

Nothing is set in stone.

Phew, thank goodness for that. There are us single guys out hers, who are also single parents.
Thanks Ju. Hugs and kisses.

I ONLY HOPE PEOPLE AGREE WITH MY NEXT COMMENT

KEITH SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


LOL

With small children, never. Teenagers, very unlikely. Stable adults, possibly.

some guys might want to date lots of mums!!

sorry.....I've given myself a slap...

If mums are like you, mysti, yes, why not...?
