I met my current partner on a dating app so I don't think you should ignore that option. But You have to be very clear about what kind of relationship you want before you waste anyone's time (yours and theirs). Don't assume all single mothers are looking for a replacement daddy; you can find pretty much anything you want, you just have to be clear without being creepy. It's very doable.

This is very true. In my profile I was very honest about the type of relationship I was looking for and while it narrowed the playing field I know it was helpful. I wish more men did the same thing.

I did too and while I didn't write FWB that was what I was looking for. Someone like me with a limited amount of free time but the desire for good conversation, nice evenings out and great sex. The first guy lasted about six months before he started talking about our future together (not where I wanted to go) but I've been with the second guy for almost two years and things are great except we only get to be together once every two weeks or so. I'd like to get married again someday but it won't be for a few more years.

I also did not want to put in my profile that I am looking for sex, one, because I also want to go out dancing, movies, dinner, etc. and, two, I would tell the man in person if I liked him. So my profile reads something like "busy professional, mom; looking for a similar man" I had one guy message me he fits that what I am looking for and suggested that he come over with just his tool belt on
After that I wasn't sure if I am sending the wrong "code" with my profile

I'm the single mom in the first quoted post. I think attracting weirdos online is more a feature of online dating than any indication of signalling on your part. People will always try. I also didn't announce that I was looking for sex or for a FWB because I wanted more connection than that even though I don't know if I'll ever want to get married. I just mentioned the single mom part right up front (since I'd expect any reasonable man to assume my child comes first without me trying to act like mom of the year) and made the rest of the profile pretty breezy. I've certainly gotten a LOT of off the wall messages, but as it turns out, the DC dating pool is

Let the sex come after you think he may be the one.

Oh God. Pass.

For you single moms with FWB-like arrangements, who pays when you go out?

Why go out? If the kids are with the XDH, it is time to mate like crazed wildebeests. You can also find food + cocktails later.

Unless the sex is weak. Then he should pay.

We don't split the check but I pay half the time...ok....about 25% of the time. He makes a lot more than I do but we really don't talk about it. He's a good guy who would pay 100% of the time but he understands why I want to pay.

I am great with paying for dates, travel, etc. I normally make more than my dates so it makes sense.

My question: What about staying the night? I have to get up early for work or the gym (every day but Sunday) and have little desire to stay over. Morning or middle of the night sex is great; however, waking up at 5:00 am to hurry and get it on it is not great.

I am cool with staying over on a Saturday night (or having her stay over then). Ladies - are you good with not staying over most of the time?

You’re asking single mothers if they are okay enjoying our free evenings alone after FWB sex when the kid(s) not around? And if our feelings will get hurt because we can’t spoon and sleep over? With a FWB?

That’s right. Knock the bottom out of it and GTFO.

(For a pump and dump)

Men who do this are terrible lovers. They dump because they’re embarrassed about their performance.
