Hon, I'm the same age as you, a divorced mom of one little girl, and you'll be AMAZED at how many guys out there are in the SAME EXACT BOAT! There are lots of single dads out there, ya know, and divorcee families can be AWESOME if ya give em a chance. Put yourself out there!! You'll never know unless you look & trust me, the ones that aren't interested won't respond. The real men who are willing to find out who YOU are, will. It shouldn't be about your divorce or your kid when it comes to dating. It should be about wether or not you're a good MATCH. If you are, than any "luggage: you come with will be well worth having you in his life to brighten it up! I found me a great single dad, twice divorced & three kids of his own. We have an AMAZING life together & lots of beautiful kids to liven it up. Be brave, sister. Guys are out there...go find em! (I suggest Yahoo personals. They're pretty goos) Best of luck!

A guy your age, and single, would probably NOT be into a divorcee' with children, but an older guy would. I've dated women with kids before, and gotten along well with the kids, too (because I'm a big goof). The last time I dated a woman with kids I was 43, and the summer before I met "she who would become my wife!" The first time was when I was 37.
Guys a few years older are more comfortable with the idea of you being divorced because they've either been divorced or know folks who are. Some younger guys can feel "threatened" by the competition of little ones around, while older ones are more mature.

I would ask you out, depending on if we had chemistry/liked each other and all. Having a kid doesn't scare me off, I am one who didn't have a dad bc he ran out on the family and divorced my mom growing up so I have been there and can relate. You are going to have to find a guy with a good heart and open mind. A lot of guys are scared off because they think you need them for their money and will spend it all and make them play dad even if that is TOTALLY NOT THE CASE (WHICH THEIR IDEA IS BS ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME). You have a good shot though, depending on the kind of guy and his maturity level.

Well, I am 32 and i have been married twice before, I have 3 children. I do think alot of men shy away from this especially if they dont have any children of there own. It has went both ways for me though. The man I am with now, he is 26 yrs old, he doesn't have any children of his own, nor can he have any, and we have been together goin on 6 yrs. now. He loves my kids to death and would do anything in the world for them. He often refers to them as "his" kids. Good Luck out there, Just when you least expect it, you will find him.

I admit there are lots of belligerent below the impact of alcohol adult men at bars, yet women persons is additionally particularly confrontational and violent. to assist you recognize the reality, adult men will often elect to shrug off an inflammation or maybe giggle approximately it, jointly as women persons will in many cases blow up or replace into quietly opposed.

no, not necessarily... respectful ones woulndt care either way... having a kid is a good way to weed out the dirt bags, because if you tell them, and they do care negativly, well, then you know they are no good and not really even a man... so. No, it wouldnt matter to me, i love kids, i have two and mothers are beautiful to me. as long as your ex husband isnt a psychopath or in jail, you should be all good to go.

because a lot of them are shallow, they think that because a woman is divorced that they want and need someone to 'take care of them' and it isn't so..
or that there is something wrong with them.... that the guy must have left them for a reason..
judgmental.. and i'm not even divorced.. just my opinion.

Some guys may like the idea of "buy 1 get one free" but some may not. It depends on what they want.
