A lie. Oh, is it easy to find a man who meets your standards? Christ no. But a man to date? Sure. (If you're not fat.) |
The XW doesn't need to do anything. If dad is only seeing kids 6 days a month his actions speak for himself. |
|
Ideally none of them should think about dating.
Not until the kids are grown and on their own. But by then, dating is without meaning. Focus on yourself at that age is best. |
Why?? |
Single mom here. Why shouldn't I date? My children are thriving. I'd love to have more children. Hold on to your bonnet!! |
You should put your kids first, absolutely. But that doesn't preclude you from also being able to date. What's the difference between that and married couples having a date night? |
From a WRA ? It’s not okay to make statements like that. |

I'm a single mom with full custody. I met a single dad with full custody. It was great--we both understood what each other was going through and how lives revolved around kids.
It didn't work though because it was hard to find time that worked for everyone and honestly, there was no place to have sex. We both had elem age kids. We would both get a sitter. But that meant that we could not go back to either of our places. To pay for a sitter and a hotel room was just too expensive on a regular basis. |
Then how about say, "that's not true, most divorced dads are very involved" if that's what you think? Keep it on topic. |
| I had custody but had no problem finding someone. If you're friendly, make eye contact, know how to talk to men, and know how to pique their interest, I do not see why it would be a problem. My husband and I have been married almost 8 years. He had no children, but had no problem with the fact that I did. |
How often were you able to go out with him and "date"...how did you find the time with custody? |
which other site? |
Not really. Deadbeat dads take off and never see their kids. Or some don't even know they're a father if they get the mother pregnant and break up before she has the child. |
When I was single I wasn't put off by a guy being a single Dad. My guy friends would never date a single mom, though. I think it's because women are more nurturing and we're willing to open our hearts and arms to more people. My guy friends simply didn't want to raise another man's child or have his leftovers as they so juvenilely put it. |
By date you mean pay for everything? Sure there are a few suckers out there. Now if a guy has options, it’s a big fat no. |
