Single Parents And Dating | Single Parents

come on girly chin up

Hi, It isn't just men that are like that, i am 43 now, omg . But i am a single parent of two boys, one just 5 and the othe will be 7. I have only been on here since jan, i have seen several female profiles, most the same age group as myself, but because they have had their kids alot younger than myself, and they have now moved on or are able to fend for them selves ,they have no intrest in dating single guys with kids unless they are old enough to fend for them selves. So what do you do, fingers crossed , Well it is sadly a fact of life, you can only hold your head up and keep looking forward as they say.

Hi Well I must be another exception then as I am 43 and have two children aged 8 and 13 so still dependant.
Another thing....why do men mail you, you look at their profiles and think ok they sound like the sort of person I am looking for, so mail them back just to get no reply!!!!
I wish everyone well on the site as we all would like someone special in our lives. xx

I am 60 and is my experience that females dote on grandchildren. It depends on the guy and what his expectations of his remaining life is going to be, but for the man that wants to be adventurous and see the world this priority of kids and grandkids may be too much baggage if the woman cannot be happy without seeing and being with them on a regular basis.
also the financial aspect a mother will most readily give into lending and giving finance to her siblings this is ok of course as long as it doesnt interfere with their personal lives and needs.

i wont ave any douts on single mums ill date one if it came to it some men might be missing a trick or two

i am a 46 yr old widow and i have 2 children aged 22 boy and a 15 yrs girl only my daughter lives with me, she has a slight handicap and when i tell men this they soon scarper, i dont know why they do this.hope to meet someone nice and sincere.

It will happen one day but be prepared to meet lots of mr wrongs in the meantime.  Good luck.

Very good luck to all that have posted so far on this thread, as a single parent myself of many years I know what you're going through and wish you all well in whatever/whoever you're looking for on here.

Folks

Im a single parent as well with 3 kids... Although they dont live with me.

I would and have in the past dated single parents b4. My ex was a single mom when i meet her.

I would do so again as well

I would date a single parent. Women my age tend to have kids i am a single dad of an 17 year old girl and women run a mile when they hear that so it goes both ways i think.

I am new to this dating malarkey and am now wondering if I should maybe not bother!

I am almost fifty and have 2 kids 10 and 14!..........from the comments posted I appear to stand no chance..........

Never give up
