My name is Hope and I am a single mom of my daughter Abby who is 7. Every time I find a guy I like and we've been talking a while he ghosts me after I mention Abby. I'm not looking for a sugar daddy, I'm independent and can provide for myself and daughter. Just here to find someone to maybe go out and do things with. Any advice?

Might I suggest not posting personal information in topics on dating sites OR on your profile.. just to keep both of you safe! (ie-names, ages etc)

You could maybe tell potential dates up front that you are a single mom looking for (as you said) someone to hang out with and do fun things with. I assume you'd do that when your child is not with you?

As a single mom of 2, I used to arrange "dates" when my kids were at their dad's for the weekend.. I didn't bother mentioning "kids" to the "date" unless things ramped up and became more than simply hanging out/activity times..However I feel being up front about your intentions and your lifestyle weeds a lot of the garbage out

hope this helps.. date safe!

Thank you for the advice

There are a lot of weirdos out there, but I would not shy away from mentioning that you have a kid right in the beginning...that can help weed out the fly-by-night guys...lol
There are guys out there that like the pre-made family idea. I dated a girl with two kids, moved them all in with me but after 4 years it was only the kids that I miss when she had to go.

Appreciate your input.
