First of all, a man should accept your child first before accepting you. You will know that you found a good man when a man accepts you "through" your child and your child accepts this man.

I dont feel dating is the same becuase you now have the childs best interests to worry about. You cant just think of what makes you happy you have to think of how it will affect your childs life. I have noticed some men are a little scared of women with children, but if he is the right person for you it will all come together. Some men are afraid you are looking for a "daddy".
You also want to be with someon who is not just in it for you because if he cannot accept your child then it is a waste of time for all involved.
Good luck and remember there are a lot of good guys out there, but there are some that will tell you they dont mind when they do especially at your age.

I am single. I dated as soon as my baby was born and i was healed. i was self concious about it and didn't feel like a catch. I am preg again, and single again. The weird thing is that this time I am not self concious. Amazing to me how many dates I get asked out on. A single mom of one and preg... Don't worry hon. Some guys like it, some don't. The hardest part I find is to leave the baby to go out...

Some guys like women with babies and some guys run at the first sight of the baby because they think you might expect them to become "part of the baby's life", I don't know how to show a guy you're single sorry!!

Dating is the same as before you had a child. Just be upfront with the man and tell him that you do have a child.

it doesnt change when it comes to the dating scene. let them know you first before telling them of the baby. by then you would have captured there attention. read tips on dating and relationships to help you more on this site

It is hard to get back out in the dating scene at any age..everybody is different..Try to take it easy and watch who you expose your child to...there are a lot of perferts out there...If you decide to go on a date you do not have to get the child involved in it right away..take it easy and if they do not treat you right send them packing....................

U can try to date other single dads. U might find someone in common.

do whatever you were doing before. casually bring up your child in conversation..be proud of her. It's not hard. I had to fight guys off of me when I was pregnant! I started wearing a fake wedding band.

I think that you can still date but i would be careful with letting someone know alll my business. Like you could go out with guys but they do not need to know that you have a baby. Once you get to know someone that you like and you know that you and he click, then after that period, then you can let him know that you have a baby. until then, i would keep my business to my self. Get your self together first. work on yourself and your own issues and your own outlook on life. then, you can gradually introduce your child to someone that you like and likes you when you feel comfortable. take your time, do not rush and listen very carefully to what someone says to you. remember,. action speaks louder than words. take care, and God Bless!
