one thing you know about a person divorced with or without kids. they swore b4 god and family they would love someone forever and never leave them and did.
Uh huh....so all single moms are the ones who left, not their narcicisstic husbands who didn't want to be bothered anymore....
Spoken like someone who's never dated a single mother before. Well I have and let me tell you, most mothers are EXTREMELY careful about keeping their dating life separate from their child's life. If you even reach the stage where she introduces you to her child, then that means she sees the potential for a long-term future with you. It's not like you're going to be in that child's life after the second or third date. And even after you meet, the mother will be very careful how much time you spend with her child. Why? For the reason you just laid out. She doesn't want her child getting too attached to whoever she's dating unless she's pretty confident this guy is going to be in her life for a long time.
I'm being honest. How many single moms do YOU know that are looking for a mate? Very few, if any. Most single moms are looking for a father figure to their child.
Hmmm.....let me think...oh I don't know...maybe....me perhaps????!!!

Well, let me start with.. I am childless, 30, and actually have had a vaesectomy to prevent children, as they are not my thing.
However, just like anything else, you have your good, and bad, single moms.
Recently, I met someone, who, the first time I saw her, I was like WOW!!! After talking to her a bit, I was very enamored. Later, I found out she had 3 kids, which was a total bummer. Anyways, she approached me to go out, we did, and it has been absolutely amazing.
We have been together two months now, and it has been one of the best relationships I have ever had. She made it very clear that she was protective of her kids, but that had free time and wanted to do things. I have actually only met them once, and it was at a Pizza Place, where I took them out for Pizza and Games. It was fun. They liked me. They were cool.
It is still a little scary, and, I am still a bit unsure if I can/will commit to LTR... but, right now, I am very happy, and glad that I took a chance to get out of my comfort zone a bit.

It's hard to get out of that comfort zone. I remember the first time I ever got involved with a single mom. We started out as friends and even though I was attracted to her, the fact that she had a child was a complete turnoff. I kept telling myself a lot of the things people here have said. "She'll want me to be a father to her child," "I'll always be competing with her child for attention," etc. But I decided to give it a try anyway. I figured if it really did turn out that way, at least I could say that I tried and if anyone ever asked me why I didn't want to date women with kids, I could point to that experience. But it was actually worked out better than I thought it would. Sure it required more advance planning and sometimes having to cancel plans at the last minute. And sure, there were times where I felt like I was competing with her child for attention. But it wasn't nearly as difficult as people here have made it out to be. The relationship didn't last, but for reasons that had nothing to do with a child being in the picture. And when I look back, I'm glad I tried it. You learn a lot about yourself when you get out of your comfort zone. I learned that a lot of the things I was afraid of really weren't that big of a deal.
I've seen tons of single moms who don't know how to control their kids. I've always considered those women to be cautionary tales, as I always try to be a good and fair mom to my son.
It can sometimes be hard, however, to convince a guy that you are in fact a good mom who is trying to raise your child right.

Well thats not always true. Not all unions are of a religious nature and God is never mentioned. God even makes and exception for infidelity.
