My son is 7 months old and I fear that the men in my dating age bracket have raised their kids and don't want to go through it again.

For the record I do not consider my son a burden, he is the joy of my life. My concern is finding a strong male role model for him, I can teach him lots of things but some have to be taught by a man, just may be easier for him in my opinion anyway

In my opinion, not at all. Many men are single at your age, but no need to rush. Take your time and let the emotional pain heal before you go back to the dating scene. And remember, it's okay to ask men for their phone number and to show them affection nowadays. In fact, men like it -- because you will look different. Even if you think I'm wrong, it never hurts to try.

no your chances are as good as anyone else'....don't just settle for anyone that you think will be a good role model..find a good man for you both .there are still some good ones left ,my brother in law is with a lady that has 7 kids .and she is a good person,she was married for yrs.to the same man and all the kids have the same father.she is raising all those kids herself. just be open that most men around that age have kids too,so yours will just be a joy to a good man.if the one you find has a problem with your son.he's not grown up enough to be in any relationship.good luck to you and your son.

Sounds like you are very need.
I'm 55 and your son age 7 months would not bother me.
YOUR neediness would. I don't know what YOUR dating age bracket is, and I may be out of that bracket. Looking at you son as a burden to your dating life is not attractive to me.

I am close to the same age. Single mother of 2 teenagers. I do really good until I let them know that. I don't think you chances are gone. Never believe that. You just haven't had the right guy come along yet.

Ofcourse you can have a relationship! I dont know of any men your age that have grown children. So, there are many good men out there at ALL ages and even if they have raised a family it doesnt necessarily mean they wouldnt want to be with you and help raise yours. Good luck and keep your chin up!!

Many men your age are divorced and raising their kids, just like you. I'm sure there are plenty of good guys that would be happy to date you. You've just got to be patient and it doesn't hurt to keep yourself busy with social activities. Join a book club, volunteer, join a health club, etc. There IS someone for everyone. Best of Luck!!

Honey, I'm your age with no kids and it's really hard. The only time it's not really hard to find a man is if your dress size is a single digit. As soon as I got past size 12, the men were harder to find.
I'm not even being cruel, I find it to be a fact.

Get to know some guys as people, not as a number or age bracket. If you meet someone you like, then cultivate a relationship or friendship with them. One thing will lead to another, and before you know it, you will not be alone. But, if you let these kinds of thoughts worry you, you will stay alone.

I'm only 19 and don't know much about relationships, but I know many people just like you that come through and find someone! Whether its at the bar, out shopping, or on a goofy match website! Just don't give up and stop looking, he will find you! I hope everything goes well and you find your soulmate! I wish the same for me! ha!

If someone really cares about you, it should not matter in the least. You have one child, not several (which does make it harder) but still, someone out there will care enough about you to love your son too, even if they have no kids or grown kids!
Don't sell you and your son out to any old body just to have somebody, the good Lord will send the right one sooner or later!
Hang in there!
