I am seriously reluctant to date single mothers, but they are the only people within a reasonable distance with active online dating profiles...
With that said, my biggest flaw is falling blindly in love, especially to attractive women, so it would be nice to be prepared with having to deal with such baggage...
You don't have to settle for a single mother. If you seriously believe that is your only option you haven't looked hard enough. I promise you, unless you live in an antarctic research station where you can count everyone on one hand you have options.

To the question posed, I never would. Not my bag.
I keep looking but it's been fairly difficult finding single women out of college.
The answer would really be case specific. Likely you would not have to worry about interaction with the child, or the other parent until any dating turned serious.
Then how you "deal" with them would be completely dependent on how your SO and their ex's relationship was with each other. Some people are amicable and cooperative, some are not.

Go out more, have a group of friends whom you make company and you don't even have to go after finding someone to date - just go on friendly time with your friends to chat and do stuff, and try dating people when you wish to go after dating. That way it's going to be relaxing for you, nobody should feel that they MUST seek and attempt to date someone when they go out, even if they are looking for someone to date with.
But first of all, have a value towards yourself. If you don't value yourself, others will stop all over you.
This is how it goes not just in private life but also in business, and make sure you remember that well - don't see yourself short.
Go to places where students and graduate women hang out in general - their cafeterias, clubs, etc. There are plenty of child-free women out there and you should try it out, but remember, don't be someone's cash-cow either. There are lots of women who are completely broke and depend on their parents and they are open for any guy to date them to tell that to their friends... and a number of them will act "weird", not really even attempting to make anything serious (if you plan to have a serious relationship), but this part might be my subjective observation though.

Reason: grammar errors
If you don't want them, avoid them. You don't have to date anyone you don't want to. Honestly don't go into dating a single mom unless you can handle all the financial aspects.
