Sorry But other than that, all i can think of is fear of drama from the EX, or a fear the kids won't like you. so you don't even try.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I tried the whole "dating-a-single-mom" thing several times when I was younger. In every case, the women weren't looking for a relationship at all -- they were looking for someone to come in and play "new Daddy."

I quickly discovered I had no interest in, nor aptitude for, that particular role.

Just don't see the point in wasting people's time with a scenario that doesn't work.

And I'm OK with being called "shallow." I've been called a lot worse.

Why is it shallow? Getting into a relationship with someone who has kids is a major responsibility.

Whether the person is looking for a father/mother for their kids or not, once you get into a committed relationship with that person, you automatically take on the step-parent role.

You also have to take on the sharing of the financial and emotional responsibilities of raising the child.

You take on the issue of dealing with the ex who may or may not be agreeable to you being involved in their child's life.

There's so many factors involved that I don't fault anyone who is not willing to get involved with this type of situation. For some there is just too much at stake for them to risk.

Some people use "shallow" as a sort of euphemism for "you don't believe the same things I believe, so that makes you a bad person."

The nice thing about using "shallow" is that, not only is it easier to type than "you don't believe the same things I believe, so that makes you a bad person," it also allows for an impressive display of condescension.

You are so right! I got lucky and found a guy that accepted my 4 kids along with his 3.. We were married 26 yrs before he passed away...
