Yes, I think it all boils down to the fact that you cannot make someone (man/woman) be interested in a relationship if they just aren't ready to do that yet. Maybe never, of course.
Like smoking, we will find a way if we want to do it, and if the motivation is not there, then it wont happen.
I don't really have a problem dating a single mother, and have done so in the past, but it can be difficult.
I know that the kids come first, but should a woman be dating if she has no time?
For example, I dated a woman for about a month, and saw her once a week. Then for an entire month after that, she was unavailable due to various obligations, and we only lived 10 minutes away from each other. I would have continued to see her, but it was like a long distance relationship, which I'm not interested in.
So, for you single moms:
How do you date if you have no time?
What did you do to make time to see the man you were dating?

I've dated single mothers and it went quite well, they managed their time and found ways to make sure that the kids were taken care of, but that she (us) had enough time together for dating purposes.
And I've dated single mothers who just were not able to make the time, from circumstances putting too much on their plate, or that they just couldn't organize there time. Those I told that they need to dial back the dating, because one or two dates every one or two weeks wasn't enough time spent together to see if we were compatible.
I totally agree that the kids come first. But that doesn't mean that the kids should take up 100% of the single parents time. After all, a 'good parent' would realize that their own good moral, and maybe even having a good long term relationship, would be in the best interests of not only the parent, but also the kids.

Or, did you just not date?
Maybe it was her way of saying that she wasn't really interested in you
I guess when dating a single mom one automatically is assessed as a potential substitute father. So dating a single mom is a lot closer to everyday life than when two singles without kids get to know each other.
Yeah, it's not worth your effort. The kid will always come first (they should), which makes it literally impossible to have a legitimate relationship. Yet another example of how divorce and bearing children out of wedlock has really f'd up society.

What do you mean by "Should" ?
Are you talking about morality? Or what is practical for her? Or what is good for you? Or something else?
