My only fear of dating a single mom is what is i like her kid more then i like her ? I all ready know will end up staying too long and it not far to either one of us. I just feel like if I walk out i will be walking out on the child like his or her real dad did.
I know i am not dating her kid and all but it is a package deal kind of thing so it is complicated.
I have to say that this has not been my experiences. I have troubles bonding with other people's kids who are not biologically mine. That doesn't mean I didn't love them, but I don't love them the way I love my own nephews, not even close.
That is just me though. Just because I don't have a successful single father dating story, doesn't mean other people won't.
Every time I get into situations dating a man with kids I never had any luck. A few of the guys I dated they were still having sex with their children's mother. Then I said if I ever date a man with kids again the mother has to live far away, has sole custody or be dead (I know a terrible thing to think). Well that wish finally came true because this past October I met a guy who has sole custody of his daughter because the mother was really sick. He barely had time for me because he had a lot on his plate and it was even worse than the other situations I was in before.
If the guy can still find time for me while taking care of his kids then I will give it a chance. But so far I had nothing but back luck. And that's just my experience. Im 28 btw.
I have dated guys with kids and I'm not interested in doing so ever again. I don't like the idea of having to worry about my partner scheduling our time together around their kids or having to worry about not seeing them when I want because they have to spend time with their kids, and I don't like the drama that comes with the baby's mom. If the kid is under two years old, the guy is most likely still having sex with the baby's mom. If older, there may still be a connection, regardless there's drama that comes with kids from my experience, which is why at 30 and single, I'm looking for a man with no kids unless they're adult kids.

Reason: Spelling
There're too many issues to deal with guys with kids, his priority are normally reserved for his kids besides career and family. I prefer to date single guy with no kids as with myself.
Dealbreaker. I'm 26 and have no children of my own. I have no interest in walking into a ready-made family where I will never be able to truly parent. Additionally, because having children for me will be a bit more difficult (i.e. oops pregnancies are not a possibility), I worry about getting involved with someone who already has children and might not want to go to the lengths we would need to go to in order to have our own child.
I have dated single fathers in the past. It was endless baby mama drama, financial strains, and situations I never anticipated facing before I had children myself. All of these issues were things that directly impacted me and my life (and, sometimes, my finances) but I had no control or say over.
I love kids and if I already had children of my own, my thoughts would probably be different on the matter.
