Do men have a problem with dating women with kids?

Question

I am going to be divorced soon and I know that eventually I will want to be in a serious relationship again, but I have 3 children and I just want to know if a man would actually date a woman with kids

Answer 1

If a guy finds a woman attractive, the three kids won't matter. The only hesitation I have with dating women with kids is that I love the kids and I'm not ready to get married. So the kids and I bond and I like hanging out with them (and I'm emotionally 13 by the way, so it's not too hard). Then the woman thinks: he likes me, he likes my kids...I see a ring! And it's not coming.

Then the woman and I break up and the kids are upset because not only did they lose their actual dad, but the potential new dad is gone too...

It's a tough one. Just take it slow and I'd date someone for awhile and understand where you're headed before you bring him back to meet the kids...if you're headed for a serious relationship before he even meets them, that's ideal. I wouldn't bring a date over to meet them just because they're "part of your life."

Answer 2

Some men do and some men don't but you don't want a man that won't accept your children anyway. Guys these days are not so caught up in staying away from women with children like they use to be. If he is a good man (whoever you find in the future) then he will want your children as well as you. If he does not then he is not a good man and surely not the one for you anyway. Let any man know up front that you and your children are a package deal. I have 9 children, last one is 1 year old and I have a good looking man with a good job begging me to marry him now. I also am going through a divorce. So honey if my 9 children aren't stopping anything then surely your 3 won't hurt any chance of a good relationship.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, a lot of guys who find out a gal has kids like to look the other way. It's because those guys are afraid they'll become something they never wanted to be: Responsible for what their loins can do! Especially if it's from another guy! Fear not fair heart! There ARE those men(and I say men because they truly know what it takes to be a man!) who do not look soely at the children as a possible burden to getting some action. No, they see a family in need of someone to be not just a husband, but a real daddy as well. See, any guy can be a father. Yet only a real man can be a daddy!

Answer 4

some do and some do not. at first my husband wanted to bail out when we were dating because i had kids. but he also had a daughter and i told him that he was shallow to judge me when other women could judge him too since he has a child. some men are selfish in tha way and some are not so u just need to find a man that will truly accept your kids cuz if they do not i can assure u this that relationship will not last and know what ur kids are forever and ever...not any man is forever...remember that also. there are many couples out there that have kids and some just neglect the kids feelings and selfishly date even when it is not right. but just pray and do your research on this situation and think about exactly what u will and will not tolerate in a relationship but remember the kids gor numero uno!! hope this helps~

Answer 5

Mature men won't have a problem at all however a lot of immature guys view single moms as an easy lay and will use them for sex while giving the woman false hope of commitment. It's a cruel world but men love sex and know single moms can be easy.

Answer 6

Hi

Your children positively speaking will always have their dad . But now a days men are dating women with children and sometimes they turn out to be better than the real dad .

I wouldn't bring a man around my children until I know for sure that he is right for me as well as them . Children are very impressionable and will imitate what they see as far as different men around them ( just an example ) will have them confused and curious .

Please be careful and get to know him first before bring him around your children .


Take care

Answer 7

of course men will, but please do me a favor and do not introduce any guys into your children's lives until you know for sure that this one is gonna be in it for the long haul.

Once you have kids, dating is different. It seems like every new date is a job interview. Eventually once you weed out the men that don't fit the bill, you'll find one that does.

Answer 8

no men dont have problems dating woman with kids,, they have problems when the woman needs to be taken care of or helped,

there are alot of men out there for ya,, hang in there and remember your kids are the most important thing,, when I look for a woman to date, I look for a schedule so we can have adult time without kids, ( helps to have a schedule )not that I dont like kids, but I have been married twice and am not looking to be married again,

Answer 9

Plenty of guys date women with kids. If your kids aren't monsters and you're a decent woman then there's no problem unless the guy is a jerk and then who wants him anyways?

Answer 10

You capture my heart
When I just hear you laugh
And though we are young
You're my missing half
When you're playing with children
And showing them love
You make my heart beat
Like your sent from above
You capture my heart
With your captivating beauty
And inspire me to make
Caring for you my duty
When you're walking, you move
With such style and grace
And I could study all day
Every line of your face
I'll search high and low
Until each other we find
But now for today
You exist in my mind
When we are apart
It's you I will miss
And long once again
To taste your sweet kiss
I'll embrace you so close
Each night and each day
But for now I will search
Till I find you .................Someday
