[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a 37 year old never married guy.  A kid isn't necessarily a deal breaker in a woman, but she'd have to be really special.  Even if the kid is great, it's a huge complication and we all already lead complicated lives.

That's not to say there aren't single men who date/marry single moms.  But there are many, many single women without kids in DC and other big cities.  All else being equal, the guys with options (and no kids themselves) will choose the childless woman.

Dating her age or even a couple years younger won't help.  In fact, it will increase the likelihood the guys will just be into something casual.  Many childless guys in their late 20's are looking for relationships, but with childless women in their mid to late 20's.  They'd date/have sex with OP but that's it.  She is smart to look older, that's where she'll have the most luck. [/quote]

OP, this is why dating an older guy isn't necessarily going to net you better results. You have to treat guys as individuals. I'm the 31yo single mom and personal experience in the dating world has taught me that. I get asked out regularly and have met guys looking for commitment. Don't play yourself into thinking only an older guy will take you seriously. Sometimes guys our age and a bit younger don't have as many negative dating experiences to judge you against.

Dating can be a crapshoot for all singles, but all you need is one guy to fit with you. Try your best to treat each date as just that! You can sabotage something good if you're going in with too many expectations. Oh, and the first two weeks on any online website, you're the new fish. Take advantage!lol
