And what do you think about a single guy raising a child because the mother wants nothing to do with him or the child?

Arranged marriage. Wasn't good from the start. The child got to choose who he could live with and chose his father the mother never calls and doesn't want anything to do with her son. Dad loves his son more then anything.

Well I'm 22 and don't date guys more than a few years older than me, so no I wouldn't date a guy also in his 20's with a kid. Maybe it seems selfish, but I want to be the one bearing my husband's kids and if someone else already has done so it would make it feel less special for me. I also think it shows irresponsibility when guys have gotten girls pregnant who they aren't married to. But when I'm in my 30's and dating guys in their 30's, I'd be open to single fathers b/c they're probably divorced and that's different than knocking someone up you were only dating.

I am married but my husband had a son when I married him and I had 2 children. I think it is great that men are taking a more active role in raising their kids. Years ago you never heard of a man getting custody of the kids but today is different I think I would date you if I wasn't married. And their dead beat mother needs to get a clue. You should be glad that she does not want anything to do with you because you don't need some low life trash that won't even take care of her child giving you any grief. Tell her to go on and thank her for being an insensitive person it will make it easier on you in the long run

If the guy was treating his child right and had a good heart and personality then i'd date him. You sound like a really sweet guy to be raising your son, its kinda stupid that his mother doesnt want anything to do with you or your son now if you think abt it, it really isnt fair for a lil boy to grow up without both parents in his life. Good Luck on finding the right one.

Single fathers are great people, I've dated some. Now you do have to be careful to make sure HE is ready for a relationship and all that entails one. Because there is nothing worse than starting to date a guy who is a father but then he can't make time to spend it with you...that could really ruin the relationship....he has to want to give not just take!! So be a little careful...with my experience I will make sure that I date single men from now on...not so much baggage with them! Best of Luck with your decision.

if he was a good man, who treated his child well i dont see why i wouldnt. it would certainly be a little difficult at first to get used to the fact i would suddenly be a part of a childs life like that, but i think i could handle it. and if a man was raising his child for the reason you mentiond, that would be an excelent father simply because he didnt give up on the child.

that guy is amazing. you should try to go out with him girl. having a child doesn't mean a crime, you should be proud he and him self alone is raising a child without the support of the mother. in most cases the mother usually takes the child but in this guy case i think he is the best

yes because I am a single mother and I know what its like to have to raise a child by yourself and have NOBODY help you out. You want SO bad to have REAL conversation with adult persons. You feel alone and yet everyone assumes that you are married :) it's purdy funny .
Any man who steps up for his kids is a good man .

I think its easier for single fathers to date than single mothers .but Depending on your situation,and if you are a Good man looking after you child then i dont see why not.Abviously she was not ready for committment,but even then i dont understand why she wouldnt want to do nothing with her child.thats just cold hearted.

Yes I would date a single father. I think that it is great that men take responsablity & raise thier children. It is so much better then when they ignore thier children like so many fathers now adays do.
