I'm a 26yr. old woman with 2 children. Lately it's been hard to find someone who is really ready for a relationship and is not into games. My children mean everything to me and it's very hard to find someone who is willing to be with a woman with children. Is there anyone out there that can give me some advice.

The right person will come along and respect you and your children. He will want to be with all of you and treat you and your kids good. It will be worth the wait for you. Start looking in the right places too. No sense in looking in bars and clubs because they have their freedom and most likely, dont want to give that up!

It's real hard. I'm a 35yo male with 2 children in Northern California. I have no problem dating a single woman with children b/c I understand where she's at. I'm in the same boat. I know that someone like you come in a package deal. However, whoever you date must understand that he is dating you and not the kids. Unless you are trying to find your kids a new daddy, which is wrong, you are sorta forced to wait. My children are my reasons for being. However, they do not fill that void in my heart that only a lover or partner can. I believe you understand what I mean. So, for what it's worth, take heart in knowing that there are people out here who understand. We don't sympathize. You don't need pity. What you need is someone to have coffee with, walk with, talk about your day, and have an ADULT conversation. Right?

OK....I'm 26 and I have a 2 year old little girl. I had all but given up when I found my boyfriend. He's the only man I have introduced to my daughter. I met him on a phone chat line and got to know him for a month by talking to him constantly and agreed to meet him after that. After another month I introduced him to my daughter and he loves her as much as she loves him. We have been together for around 4 months now and are very happy and are planning on being a FAMILY. I had went through a few relationships before him but he is amazing and the only man I truly wanted to meet my daughter. His family has even accepted both of us and treat her as though she were their granddaughter. He has a daughter but he doesn't get to see her and so it makes it all the more special to him. We've talked about having another child and a little bit towards marriage, but it's too soon for any of that now, but in the future it's definitely a possibility.

I would say to stop "looking". Focus on other things. Do the things you like to do, go to places that you enjoy. When you are not actively seeking a mate is when you'll find that special someone,especially in the places you frequent. While you're there, you might see someone or vice versa and be able to strike up a conversation based on your mutual interest in where you are. It's when you're not looking that love blindsides you :) Good Luck!!!

stay away from bars and clubs, basically anywhere that a guy might have a drink in his hand, i'm not saying it isn't possible 2 find a good guy at one of those places but chances r most of them r no good, in my opinion u should wait 4 the right one 2 come along, it's true when they say it happens when u least expect it, but u want try going 2 a library or museum or even church, goodluck.

It is hard to find a man with children, however, there are nice guys who will take on that responsibility and be wonderful. How do you meet them, well , not at bars. that is rule number 1, local singles clubs, local Internet dating, church, volunteering at schools, nursing homes, hospitals.
Good luck and happy hunting

its hard for everyone these days. im a single mother and its always been hard. if someone lones you they wont care if you have kids or not. there are a lot of dead beat dads out there so it will be hard. they wont even take care of their own kids let alone care for someone elses. so hang in ther im still trying myself. be patient and enjoy yourlife and your kids and one day when tyou are comparing food prices mr. right will be standing there.

Good luck...I'm 25 with one child and my relationships never work. I'm done with even trying.
