I have my kids every other wk-end,work nights,sleep most of Saturday anyway. Plus other obligations. Lunch and Breakfast dates are good for me.

I'd just say pick one and stay in touch with the others. Go out on one first date with each then pick which one you want to go further with.

To many options is better than no options at all. :wink:

i never get asked out


Now that you mentioned that, but, well, the commute would be hell and it's hard to tell which end is in the normally up position. :wink:

I have a dilemma. I have two guys asking me out. I am a single mom so I have to manage my time with my daughter and with making time to go on a date. How do you explain to a guy that he is going to have to "wait his turn" so to speak so I can be fair to the other guy and not take away time from my daughter?

The only time I have available to go on a date is the weekend, but I also use that time to do special things with my daughter that we can't do during the week. So, no matter which one I say yes to, the other is going to have to wait for at least 2 weeks maybe 3.

I really don't know what to do. And I know I'm taking a chance on one of them saying they don't want to wait, which is completely understandable, but I really don't see another option available. Anybody got any advice?



If they want to see you, they'll wait. Any man that doesn't understand that your daughter is your first priority doesn't deserve a date anyway. :wink:

a good man will understand ur priorites are with ur child first..and respect that...

and actually if he cant wait for a few weeks for u to go out with him now...it will tell u what the future holds..when u have commitments with/to ur children

go out with the one u get the best vibe with...follow ur instinct... if it goes well maybe YOU wont want to date the other one..who knows...

making a man wait is a good assessment tool!!!

Well, I've got a date this Saturday with one of the guys. I emailed the other guy and told him that I couldn't go out with him for 2 more weeks because I already have plans this weekend and next weekend I've planned a camping trip with my daughter.

His reply: If you don't want to go out with me then tell me, you don't have to come up with some BS lie.

My reply: I'm not lying, I do have plans, but thanks for showing me your true colors before I wasted any time with you in person. Have a nice day.

I just don't get some people!!noway noway

Man, It would be hard to figure that out. Go with your gut. Which one of these men will accept you and that you are a mother. A mom, when you talk over the phone does that person understand that we are juggling supper, child, and cleaning at the same time? Do frustrated with the conversation? Call me back when your done. Which one of the men dont do that.

Just tell whichever one is "second" that you have a scheduling conflict. Trust me, I know a bit about scheduling. I intend to go on a date with someone who's 90 miles away. This past weekend was good for me, not for her. Next weekend's good for her, not for me (Long trips? GOT to wait until just after paydays). So, that means it's over a week away to drive down there to where she's at to go see a movie...which reminds me, I'm going to have to look into what times the movie SHE suggested is going to be playing, so that we can figure out what time to meet up!

Boy...I'm giving up a lot...and I have absolutely NO expectations. Hey, it might not even work out, you never know.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. Weekdays are bad for me, I work every weeknight around 8 p.m. or so.
