To me it isn't a problem. I am a single father as well. My daughter lives with me, her mom is still involved in her life. We are in no way romantically involved in any way. It has been hard though, alot of women that i have met seem to still have a hard time with it. I prefer a woman who has kids, cause she knows more of what i am going through and understands it better.

You could turn that question around and ask yourself "How would I feel dating a guy with a kid whose mom is still in the picture?". I was one of those guys, divorced, with a son. I, of course, had no problem dating women with kids as I was in the same situation. The woman I actually ended up marrying did not have kids though and lucky enough for me she didn't have a problem dating me. Having the other parent still in the picture can (sometimes) be a good thing as the person coming in to the relationship doesn't have to feel like they are the "new" parent and become an instant mom or dad.

That could be potentially an issue if the guy is a jealous type and has a hard time with understanding the dad needs to be around for the kid(s). I could also see it as being awkward coming home from a date and wanting to take "things" to the bedroom and seeing the dad in the living room on the couch with the kids.

The father has a right to be around his/her children. Now the whole family being together and the new boyfriend would be weird. It would also be a bit weird if you all spent time together like a family. That would leave the new dater to think that maybe there is more going on or they might work it out down the road. Its just a fuel for trouble. But visitation rights and such is normal. If thats what u mean than yah it would be a healthy relationship.

It could be awkward, but if the Dad is mature enough, then it would be fine. Children still need a good father figure in their lives. Emphasis on the adjective "good."
The guy might need some reassurance in the beginning that the Dad isn't still interested in you and you're not interested in him. Over time, the two could actually end up being friends...but don't push that at first.
Good luck to you.

It depends solely on the assurance that there won't be any trouble from the so-called "dad", as a matter of fact, a 100% assurance is needed. Otherwise, it would amount to catching the tiger by the tail. I hope you really understand my point. Cheers!

First of all I fell in love with a woman that has 3 lil' 1's & til this day i still love her with all my heart. The father is currently in the kids lives & I have absolutely no problems with that. I love the 3 kids as if they were my own. I just hope one day she will marry me. So we can be a loving family..
So in otherwords I have no problems with this, but the things you have to take into consideration your priorties which are your kids, does your kids love the man you are with? How is your man with your kids? Can you trust this man to be alone with your kids? Is he responsible enough or to immature? I hope everything goes well & good luck

It all depends in the kind of relationship she still has with the father of her child, if she seems very involved then I would just back off, otherwise, I would treat her as if she was single

i imagine both are demanding, yet i wager i'd might want to say its extra sturdy to be a unmarried mom. i imagine b/c unmarried dads are not as uncomplicated, people (rather women) have a tendency to experience sorry for them and opt to help guard them. i do not imagine it is demanding for a unmarried dad to stumble on a girlfriend. maximum women are organic moms and may only melt on the considered a unmarried dad (verify out new addition of Bachelor featuring the single dad from very last season's Bacholorette), while maximum unmarried adult adult males are scared off by using a unmarried mom - word the # of Q's on the following from unmarried moms asking a thanks to get a date! i imagine unmarried moms get alot of blame and face alot of stereotypes, yet unmarried dads get sympathy. i changed into raised by using a unmarried dad, my mom changed into his 1st spouse, he changed into on spouse #4 by using the time i changed into 17.

A man should be in his childs life. I have two and my exwife is seeing a nice man and he knows I'm going to be there and we will see each other often and I don't see a problem with it, the only problem I could see is if the child doesn't like who you date
