I dated a guy who suddenly had to take custody of his children and it ended up not working out because he wasn't able to fit time in for me. If he has a way to make time for you I think you should go for it as long as you realize his kids will always come first.

As a single parent, I can honestly say that you ladies who are not are right...for those without children, or older, it's hard to be patient and understanding because the child/ren come first and there are times when we can't help but to cancel a date at the last moment, or can't do something spontaneous, like a weekend trip, and definitely have to time having sex to when the kiddos are at school or sleeping...lol
I would definitely date a single dad, cause at least he'll be understanding when I have to be the one to cancel at the last moment...etc.

I guess it depends on the age of the children.
I met a guy on here that had two grown daughters that lived with him and he had to cook for and didn't want to go out to dinner!!!
His ideal of a date was to go out and park and get BJ's (which I told him no Fing way)!
Lets just say I kicked him to the curb!
I would never want to come between a man and his kids but there has to be some time for himself and dating.

OOOOH HELL NOOO...especially if there is a crazy bio/baby momma to put up with. I raised my kids (they are both off to college/university), who wants to deal with that nonsense. Besides the father needs to tend to business and take care of his kids and not look to a GF as a savior or free babysitter. I would run like hell if that were the case. Nice knowing you, raise your kids and think about your social life when the kids are off at school DO NOT BRUSH your responsibilities on somebody else. Want to date? AWESOME!!! get a babysitter take the gal out have a splendid time...just do not bring one into the situation. Besides kids resent having somebody come in and try to run the house. Hope you have a good time being full time daddy.

It would depend on how old they are. My youngest will be going to college in the fall so I will be childless for the first time in 24 years. If he had older children I would be okay but if they are really young I don't think I would want to do it all over again.

I would date a single father because it shows he cares about someone other than himself
it shows that he takes life seriously knows when to have fun
and he's committed to his children which is good news because he will respect me!

Since I just got out of a five yr relationship with a guy who had seven children,two small ones, which he got every other weekend, I would not date a guy who had children. I chose to have my kids when I was young so that I could still be young enough to enjoy my grandkids, not raise some one elses kids. I find that men choose their children, no matter what age they are, over you. and the kids end up resenting you for being with their dad, so really you are in a no win situation.

Absolutely. Most of the men in my age group have children who are still at home and being that I have children of my own, I think it would be selfish of me to not want to date a man with children.
That being said, I don't feel that it is necessary to meet his children right away or for him to meet mine. If it gets serious, then yes, but until that point it's better to just keep the kids out of it. Both have to be understanding of that fact that the kids come first so plans may be subject to change on short notice but if he is worth giving my time to, then I am willing to make those adjustments.

I would definitely date a man with such a great purpose in his life. I would even babysit for him I think. It depends on what kind of responsibilities you are able to handle which usually comes with the understanding of life's different aspects and social matters. Kids are beautiful and they are everybody's responsibility. If you are open hearted they are easy going. But I also believe when kids are "in the middle" it is the higher mature level of communication that is needed that makes it difficult!

Call me selfish or whatever, but no. I don't want to be in a situation where I have to put up with the crazy ex b*tch and see her poor parenting first hand. Nor do I want to be asked awkward questions by a young child or seen as the b*tch who's taking daddy away. Also I know stuff happens with kids and children should always come first. I just don't want to take backseat in my man's life.

No.Im done raising kids. Im not going to deal with jealous teenagers living with a guy. I remember how difficult they can be. They would always come first and frankly thats the way it should be for a man whom wants to have custody. Children always come first unless you are married, then the spouse is the most important. And that could have been a problem with the fella in the past, not enough respect for the spouse. Nope. Im pretty firm about that.

I agree....but my family life with kids are kept separate from my dating life. Luckily for me, my ex doesn't date, so the kids can be with him anytime.
I've never dated a single father with full custody, but I'd give it a try, because as a single mother, I know I could be more understanding of their situation.

Dating a single father is fine as long as he isn't looking for a free babysitter. I'm older but my last boyfriend had grandchidren (as I do) and we spent plenty of weekends doing things all together. Kept the weekdays and some weekends for ourselves.

here's my take on dating a single father in my age bracket. there are two types:
A. the ones who married young, had a kid/children, she got ill or a car accident, whatever, and he was widowed
B. the ones who f**ked around, without taking life or their future seriously, and wound up with a kid
I took my education/career seriously, establishing myself, becoming something. I was very driven in that regard. I have found a majority of the time the young men who fall under category B are so far different from me and my lifestyle (they're still struggling with their jobs at mcdonalds, don't have a career plan, don't have future plans, oh but wait, they're good with their kid), that we just would't jive
The ones that fall under category A are generally more matched to me, they were just ready to settle sooner than I ever have been

I would be hesitant to now. Not because I don't like kids, but because of the exact opposite. I was in a relationship with a man for 2 years. I fell in love with him. And his kids. Our relationship ended and I miss THEM dearly. I'm still very heartbroken that I don't have the right to see them again and I'm not sure if I ever will.

Definitely! And I was quite shocked a few years ago when I was on a forum and found out how many women wouldn't date a single father. I had some really wonderful relationships with single fathers. If you're a single mom, dating a single father is a double bonus because each of you understand the time and money constraints. A single father probably has a heart, and I'd bet that if they were tested as a group that they would tend to treat women with more respect than single men living without kids.
