My problem was never with the guys so much as myself. After devoting myself to raising a child, I really didn't have much time or energy left over to cater to a man.

I often wonder if I too will ever find a man to love me and my daughter.
The truth is my daughter is happy and I am content with life so if I dont find an almost perfect fit to our puzzle I wont settle down.
I am not looking for the perfect man. No one is perfect. However I need someone that understand children and that they are a life time comitment.

I like single moms, of course I'm a single dad.

I know what you mean I have 3 kids of my own. I definitely believe that there is someone out there for everyone. When I do meet someone it'll prolly be like havin a whole herd or the Brady bunch or somethin'.

I am a mother of three girls and I have never had a guy who has kids or no kids have a problem of me being a single mother............I think a lot of guys really think its awesome that you are able to juggle life, kids, work, or school............I am more respected than my single friends and I get more guys(when I was single).............but now im in a relationship and its not a big deal if that person is understanding and supportive...............so good luck and you will do fine......

i think it is hard being single with or without children.
i have three, however mone are almost grown and live with their father 4 hours away...although easier to "date" ...just as hard to find someone special.

You think it is hard at your age try my age single never married with a soon to be 10 year old most people my age are sending their children off to college I am just starting out. No regrets I had one tell me my daughter was way to much baggage and to that I said see ya. I have not help from the father so I have her 24-7 365 days a year. I would not change it for the world.

I'm almost the same way

and I feel the same way you do.

Yes but you know what we are amazing people thank god they have us

Do you all think single moms are more compatable with single dads? My friend told me about someone else I know that said she woudl onle date a guy with a kid. Is that typical?

guys with kids are much more likely to understand your devotion to your child and not feel jealous or threatened by it. People who don't have kids sometimes don't get how much of a 24 hour job parenting is.

that's an old fear that i thin has died out a lot these days. Its more common that you and your significant other both have kids then only you. And even so now a days most real men understand that if they care about some1 kids or no kids it shouldn't matter.

how can u be sure the guy u pic is safe? im single mum and im paranoid about meeting a guy whos interested in my girl if u no wot i mean.

I have many girl friends who have been married countless times after the first one...only because they thought they needed someone to fullfill or complete them, as it were.

Myself, i did not want to put my children through that so i waited till now to even think of dating again. But each woman is different and you have to decide for yourself and change your way of thinking toward that goal. (I am worthy of having a good man father my children and be a good husband to me.)

If you have any doubts about a current man in your life, any doubts whatsoever, break it off because you will only be hurt worse in the long run. Trust your instincts, as it were.

Background check.

There are plenty of willing men out there, but it is hard. I am a single mama as well. I try to leave my daughter out of the scene until I am sure that the relationship will last. Just to spare her heart. Just my thoughts. I don't want her getting attached and heartbroken along with me ya know???

As a single mom I hope to meet a good guy someday, but so far no luck. Being single isn't the problem I have found. It is the looks...LOL. I think as long as you are content and your child is content everything will work out. I hope.

Boy, Have any of the single parents here ever had the problem with someone trying to spoil your kids os they can get on your good side??I have found more of that. then the someone running because I had kids.

Wolf, I have had that. Only problem was my daughter didn't like the person anyways. I should have gone with her instincts. They say kids know who is a good persona dn who isn't.

Bummer,My kids realy liked the guys.I didn't care much for them.My mom used to say,They just didn't weren't old enough to know better. .Sure glad I waited for the one I wanted. .Never give up people.There is someone out there for us.
