Is being a single parent bottom of the dating barrel?

dating online — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:42:01 +0000

I’m a 26 year old , single guy and I’ve been taking care of my late sister’s kid for nearly 1 year and 6 months.Shes now 8 years old and of course going to school. I’ve been in an out of relationships prior to my sister passing away but as soon as I got the responsibility to care of a toddler I had to sacrifice a lot (a pg degree , hobbies , social life, sleep) and gave all my attention to her ’cause she was going through a tough time. Now that over an year has passed , we have developed a good bond with each other and she even started calling me daddy. I felt like I could now ease up a little and think about dating again. But every single time I meet a girl and take her out and finally tell her about my situation , all she ever wants is be a good friend of mine and nothing more. I mean, at the beginning , it does feel like there is a chemistry going on but as soon as I reveal I’m taking care of a child , most of them feel uncomfortable about dating again.

I’m just tired of hearing the same thing like "You are a nice person" or "You are doing a wonderful thing for her" e.t.c. like as though I am looking for their compliments or sympathy. But why is that they never want to be anything more than just "good friends"? They are not really mean or something, at times they do send a gift or something for the child .e.t.c So I really want to know, are girls repelled by the fact that I’m a single parent?

Its not like I’m sad or anything. I’m happy to take care of my niece and it brings me more joy than being with a date.But since I’m going through my late 20s and thinking about settling down, I’m seriously considering dating single moms (ofcourse my age, lol ) at this point ’cause I feel they will know what I’m going through and probably accept my daughter as their own without hesitation.

I would like to know if I’m approaching girls the wrong way , scaring them or if its just that I didn’t find the right person.

Thanks a lot!

Luv
Greg and of course lil’ Megan
Just to clarify a few things
———————————-
1. I’m not being a hypocrite when i say "I’m seriously considering dating a single mom". The reasons I wrote that is because I myself did not seek out for single moms specifically or exclusively. I have dated a divorcee even before all these happenings.

2. I dated 4 girls since becoming a single parent and one was 23, , 2 of em’ were 25 and one girl was 27.

3. I’m not a noob or stupid at dating itself. I know what to tell girls and how to treat them good. I’m not writing them a tragedy novel for them weep on. When the talk arises about who all are there in the family e.t.c. thats when I mention about the child and about my late sister. I keep it short and straight. Besides, I’m not ashamed about it and I’m always confident about myself. And thats because I love my daughter and I never see her as a burden.

First of all, no I dont think you are at the bottom of the "dating barrel" if something like that does exist.

You must remember that not many brothers would step up and sacrifice their life like you did and its definitely a reflection of what a good human being you are on the inside. Its unfortunate that the girls you met so far did not see this in you. But I assure you that a sensible girl , who ofcourse likes you as a person, would only like you even more seeing that you have a lot of courage.

I would definitely tell you to let them know straight away about yourself, don’t hide the fact that you are taking care of your sister’s kid. You can eliminate the unworthy idiots on the spot. I’m sure there are millions of girls out there who have hearts in the right place.

You don’t have to specifically seek out single moms and such. I would suggest you improve your social aspects and interact more , just like you used to prior to your sisters unfortunate death. Feel more normal again. You actually have a much better chance in getting a sweet girl than majority of the jerks out there who are only looking to have sex.

All the best ,man. God bless you and your child.

No Dating as a Single Parent?

dating online — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 22:34:16 +0000

I have read a book from Doctor Laura from the 90′s called, "Ten Stupid things that Men do to Mess up their Lives." She talks about how no single parent should be dating until the kids leave the house. I know this is a bit extreme, especially when you have young kids, so to be celibate for a very long time.

The other school’s of thought say a year or two of the divorce to sit on the sideline an heal,

Then there are those crazy reckless folks who marry just after a divorce to help keep the divorce statistics skewed.

Well, "Dr." Laura is nuts, so it doesn’t surprise me that her advice would be nuts.

Date whenever you want to date. The important thing is that your kids do NOT have a succession of women in their lives. Kids need stability. So keep the dates away from the kids until you are ready to start a very serious relationship.

Also, as a parent, the kids are your priority. So dating when there are kids is different than before the kids came along. Don’t be one of those parents who ditches the kids for the new girlfriend/boyfriend. The kids need attention every day.

Finally, the kids didn’t ask for their lives to be changed by the divorce. They have been through enough. So don’t make them deal with a girlfriend they hate. Good luck.

P.S. Craig b: Dr. Laura is a hateful hypocrite. She isn’t even a real doctor and she has not lived a moral life herself. Google: Dr. Laura affair naked if you don’t believe me.

Who is more willing to date a single parent – Men or Women?

dating online — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:34:05 +0000

Are men more likely to date single mothers than women to date single fathers?

Or are women more likely to date a single father than a man is willing to date a single mother?

I think men are more willing to date a single mother!
Thats why that whole MILF thing came about!
Plus, men think with the head in their pants and if they get horny watch out whoever you are.
They f**k first and ask questions later.
So before they even know you have kids, they have already decided if they wanna f**k your pu**y again!

Enjoy!

Single Table Inheritance is a terrific way of sharing functionality and database fields between Models. It encapsulates the Inheritance principle of Object Oriented Programming.

Dating while being a single parent?

dating online — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 19:49:17 +0000

I think single women with a child can been seen as a easy target. Similar to a single women who has to weed through good and bad men, a single parent has more to risk.

Do men tend to think a single mother is a easy lay?

What are your honest opinions about dating a single mother with a toddler?
