Do women want to date a single 33 year old dad?

Question

I have two amazing boys 7 & 9. Im 33 and just wondering. Divorce was a year ago and I'm getting an itch to date.

Answer 1

the right woman will want to date you....and you should start dating.....you are much too young to be alone. having a man that calls his boys amazing is sexy....and shows a woman she has a real man..

Answer 2

It's not you or the kids that would turn them off. It's the ex-wife and the childrens' mother. Many relationships crumble under the pressure of having a meddling ex-wife that just won't let the man try to be happy with someone else. The children could also be fed lies from the ex-wife. It can all work out fine, sure, but if I were in the position to date a single-dad, I would certainly have to find out the situation with the ex. Does she live in the same city or neighborhood? Does she call you all the time and find reasons that you need to be with her and the kids. Does she just interfere even though you are divorced. I don't know, she can ruin your "game" if you know what I mean. It's like a meddling mother-in-law.... then, there's always the REMOTE chance that because of your interaction with the ex-wife that you may get back with her. I have read way to many posts on here to know that it's very common. Now that I think about it, the wife would simply have to be dead for me to date a man with kids. Dead, or in jail.

Answer 3

I am a 29 year old, single female and yes...you should have no problem finding a lady. The only advice I can give you...do not bring emotional baggage into your new relationship! I dated a man (for several years) that had been married and had a child. He constantly thought that I would do the same things that his ex-wife did to break up their marriage. Give the ladies you meet a fair shot. You have to let go of your past before starting to date.
Also, wait a while before you introduce your boy's to your new lady and explain to them that this"new lady" is not trying to replace their mother. It is difficult to date a father because not only do you have to impress the man, but also have to impress the children...a double roll. Your ex will most likely not say nice things to your boys about your new girlfriend...so just be open and honest with your kids. Do non-threatening, fun activities (the four of you) to make both your kids and the woman feel comfortable.
Another thing, decide if you are open to the idea of having more children. Because you are so young...most of the women you date will want to have more children. If you are not open to that, be honest from the beginning.
Good luck to you!

Answer 4

yes. if you are a cool guy, your great personality will shine through and women love men who are family oriented. Just look for a women who has the same things in common. There are single moms your age out there itching to date also. Try putting a profile on a site like eharmony.com or something. There you can put that you are a single dad and if whoever is interested already knows what they are getting into so you'll have a better chance at meeting the right person.

Answer 5

you'll find a date a lot quicker than a woman in your situation. Women will be more likely to take on dating a man with kids then a man would be dating a woman with kids. Good luck with the dating. My only advice is to be upfront about the kids and I would not introduce the kids to any woman you date until you've found a woman that seems to be for the long term. Have fun!

Answer 6

well I'm 36 and a single mom of a 13 year old boy and a 6 year old girl would you want ta date me i don't look at a man having children weather i want ta date him or not i look at the man as a person

Answer 7

I think it depends on what you are looking for.. some younger women may not be ready to handle two kids...unless you can find one that is very mature and knows what she wants...and maybe has a child herself.. I am sort of in the same boat..Age 40 with 3 kids...but I only want a man who wants someone with kids..because it's important to me that whoever I am with loves kids. I think some dates get weeded out..but surely there is someone for both of us. Good luck!!!

Answer 8

Absolutely! I have plenty of friends with no kids who date single dads. At your age its expected that you may have a past -- and for some that past may include divorce, kids, etc. Just be mindful some women w/o kids can be very selfish and may expect you to choose between her and the kids... if thats the case, drop her and move on.

Answer 9

Absolutely! Single fathers are a turn on to many women, especially those with terrific children like yours. You sound like a good father, go ahead and date if you are fully healed from your divorce. Many women love an independent man who works hard to provide their children with the father they deserve. Good luck!

Answer 10

I don't think there's anything wrong with you dating agian, but it's a matter of not making the same mistake twice. You said it's been a year, but are you really over her, not all women likes a man that think of another woman while they're together. If you feel that you are ready, i say go for it. :) Happy Holidays.

Answer 11

Of course there are women out there who will! But, with kids, you need to be really careful of what type of woman you are exposing them to. Before you introduce anyone to them, make sure the relationship is cemented. It can get a little confusing or emotionally difficult for the kids otherwise.
