Dating Single Moms

[TerryMiller]

Mr. Miller, I adore you but your wife is MUCH better company. Besides, you'd get frustrated trying to set me on the straight and narrow. I'm perfectly happy just the way I am, knowing full well I am not everyone's cup of tea.

You are probably right that she is better company, however, you might find that she is more inclined to try to get you on the straight and narrow than I would.

We need to go back to cave man times. The good ole days when all a cave man had to do for the affection of a cave woman was to beat his chest and grunt, beat all rivals, clock a woman on the head and drag her to his man cave and make cave babies

Yeah... but now the cave women have firearms...

I wouldn't touch a single mom with a 10 foot pole.

Why deal with someone elses seed?

If i'm going to deal with some kid, i want it to be my own.

It also depends on the situation, i guess. Was she a teen mother with bad decision making skills?

Or is she a widow?

I'm guessing most of you are talking about single moms with younger kids. What if the kids are out on their own - would that change your attitude about avoiding such women?

I've dated several women who had kids from HS age to post-college age, and it wasn't an issue any time.

Not if marriage is even a remote possibility. As mentioned, dating is a whole 'nuther ballgame from marriage.

Grown kids are often overly protective (and sometimes quite jealous) of a single parent, and some will be more concerned about losing their inheritance to a prospective suitor. Again, much can be learned by watching daytime court TV.

Just my 2¢ ...

Yep. And at least a few of you cavemen have been silly enough to teach your cavewomen how to shoot ...

Haha! That might very well be. But so far we've been too busy talking about sewing machines to get into the 3 things you never discuss (politics, religion and money).

So a lot of people don't read through all the posts. So I'll summarize.
I'm 25. No kids. One year divorced from a 5 year marriage.
She is 29. A 3 year old. Dad isn't around, she hasn't spoken with him for months, separated for a year.
I broke my personal rule of "no kids" because of how much I like her for multiple reasons.

Therein lies the danger, you might actually fall for them.

Still your call.
