In that situation, no, I would definitely not. I'm aware that people get victimized by significant others and all of that, but sorry, 20 years old with a kid and an ex-boyfriend who took off after an argument, doesn't speak volumes about her decision making abilities either.
I dont think you can lump every single mom into just 1 category. They come in all shapes,sizes,attitudes and reasons for being in the situation they are in. I would rather date a single mom who has a good head on her shoulders than I would a hot, no kids gal that bounces checks and doesnt know the difference between Iran and Iraq. There are some intelligent, good looking single moms on CityData that I would date in a heartbeat if I were given the chance. HI RAENA!!!!!!!!!!!
I never did, but I wouldn't have totally ruled it out. However, I think there's very much of a 'proceed with caution' factor to the enterprise. For example, don't introduce me to your child unless things get VERY serious.
OP, I'm assuming you're about the same age as the girl, so I wouldn't recommend it. Why bother when you're still young enough AND unencumbered to be choosy.
As for myself, no, I wouldn't date someone with a child (minor still living at home). But I'm at the age where the kids should be grown up and on their own. So I would consider it, providing, my date is not contributing to their daily financial needs. No way.
Oh I'm not interested in her in the least bit, I thought it would be an interesting topic.
The problem with dating another person who has a child is that, if things get serious, it means you have an instant family on your hands. Meanwhile, most couples start out life with it just being the two of them. Some guys are okay with having a child as part of the arrangement, while others are not. It does mean a new set of obligations beyond simply sharing your life.
Ive dated several men with children. Of course Ive got kids too so I never had any expectation that life was without obstacles or that I would be the only important person in anothers life. Its never been important to me to have so much freedom that I could just spontaniously take off for days without making any prior arrangements. I like kids and family. I really dont think its a matter of kids or not but finding someone you have intrests and values in common with.
