Okay, you do have your preferences. I used to have that same mindset. I thought I wouldn't be with a woman who had a child from another marriage. But I've realized that things are not that simple. Perhaps, being a child of a broken home with step parents on both my mother's and father's side, there is a chance I might be able to relate better to a child of a broken home.
Then again, it depends on the child. Also, the mother's child should be first to her.
Anyway, I rambled. You prefer to date someone who does not have a child from another relationship. Nothing wrong with that.
However, I suppose you could have at least finished your meal with her and then maybe you wouldn't have had to defend yourself here.
But you definitely do not have to be with a single mother.
You did nothing wrong by not being interested in a woman with a child. What you did wrong was ditch your date in the middle of dinner. Very rude.
I went on my fair share of dates before getting married, and I never ditched my dates. Even if they turned out to be a pompous jerk. Is the extra 20 minutes going to kill you?
Next time, just finish the meal and have the "talk" about how you want to be friends or that that is a deal breaker for you.

I feel like I have to defend myself. I do this one time and all of a sudden I'm a woman hater to everyone here. Whatever!

Hey, this forum is brutal. Take a break because people can really chew you up. I don't recall too much of a thrashing that I took, because I pretty much backed away at the first sign.
Usually, If I see one response that attacks me I just walk away and whistle.
Have you heard of courtesy? Manners? Consideration for another's feelings? Do you truly believe it's normal behavior to walk out on a date in the middle of dinner?
Women only walk out of the guy starts with sex talk, or drools on her boobs, or something. Otherwise, women tend to be overly polite and tolerant. They'll sit through an entire date with a guy who talks non-stop and doesn't let them get a word in edgewise, much less show any actual interest in them. They don't get up and walk out just because the guy's a self-absorbed windbag, or because he reveals he has a kid at home.
Last time I checked, I can do whatever I want. If I don't want to stay somewhere I will leave. Simple as that. Get mad all you want, I don't care.

I don't think any of us are mad. You didn't do anything to us personally.
Yes - you can do whatever you want. But if you treat people like crap - you will most likely be treated like crap in return. And if you don't treat people with respect - don't expect them to treat you with respect either. Basically - you can be an a-hole if you want to be - but at least be aware that you are an a-hole and that most people aren't going to like you. If you don't care about any of that - that's fine. But you can't be an a-hole and expect people to treat you like a decent person, and then blame them when they don't.
