Would you date a single parent with kids?

Question

I just dont know.I seen a gorgeous girl today with her 2 kids and she gave me a flirty smile,she had no rings on her finger so it was obvious she was single.Would you date sombody with kids that are sombody elses and not yours?I think it would be hard.What do you think?

Ok so giving me flirty smile and checking me out every 5 minutes isnt a sign she is single ?

My old friend is dating sombody with 2 kids and he's having his own kid with her.The old dad has threatened to break his legs for being with her.So yeah its a really sensible thing to do everybody should do it.She could have got kids from a 1 night stand.her husband could have left her for cheating and vice versa.Thinking about it, it really isnt a good idea.

Answer 1

Alan been there, did it and married her. Luckily we both had kids and they were all living on their own and adults themselves. But fact is that they still had to approve of our partners and accept them also. When I was younger I did date a woman with a child. She was a great lady but after a while she wanted this little guy to start referring to me as dad. I informed her that I wasn't the child's biological father and so did not want to be called this. Hopefully her ex is still involved with raising these kids and they have a friendly relationship and not bad mouthing each other. You never know you and he may actually end up hitting it off also and although not become close friends can become friendly towards each other anyway as both want the same happiness for this lady and her kids. But don't fool yourself that she is single just because her fingers are bare. Lots of ladies take their rings off to do the dishes, when painting or whatever and forget to put them back on afterwards. Make sure she is not with someone else before attempting to ask her out. Best of luck.

Answer 2

i started going out with a fella 6 years ago who had full custody of his 2 kids. we are now married with another child we had together. its hard wen the kids arent yours but there can be a lot of fun as well. i think, personally, it helps if the ex partner, mother or father, is not around. that might sound harsh or cruel but im being honest. wen his ex partner was around she was a real ***** telling the 2 kids that we wouldnt want them wen our baby was born but wasnt true. she hasnt wanted or bothered to see her 2 kids in the last 4 years & all has been great apart from a few teenage tantrums which you would get anyway if the kids are yours or not. if you like this person that much go for it. good luck

Answer 3

Why not. If the two of you really care for each other there should be no reason not to treat the children as you would treat your own. The only thing to remember is that when you get a partner with children you are getting the children too. Once you come into the lives of the children, it is not just the partner you are dumping, it is the children.

Answer 4

There Is a woman who lives 5 doors from me with 3 children, all with different dads, i have been getting on with her and her children for about 2 weeks now and she is absolutely stunning, she is not ready for a relationship and we are happy to stay friends.

i would not say no to a relationship with her, we get on really well and her children all seem to like me.

yes it would feel weird that the children weren't mine, but at the end of the day life has millions of problems every day, you find a way around them and you reap the benefits.

Answer 5

Yes I would date a single parent. Besides I already have. Yes it is hard, because they always put there children before you but that is the way it should be. And you have to realize that they will always be first. I love my ex-boyfriends kids like they are my own. Yes he and I are not together anymore but it is not because of them. We had our differences.You have to know that you are ready for a relationship like that. I love kids, so it did not bother me and still doesn't.

Answer 6

single mothers are not looking for a dad for there children they just want a normal life like every1 else, yes it is hard to take on some1 elses children but if you want a relationship with a woman with kids you have to find a way of handling it or simply dont do it

Answer 7

If the guy is worth dating then his kids couldnt be that bad i wouldnt give up on a good guy just becouse he had kids children are a blessing and baby mama drama is for imature people, so yes i would.

Answer 8

If your asking youself that question then you have answered yourself.
What you have to remember is that she is as human as you but you must be willing to take her and the kids on if it got serious. If you cant do that then no. Me personally, Yes and i have. My current partner has a son and we have a great relationship. Children are very entertaining most of the time.

Answer 9

well first no ring doesnt mean single. ive been married 9 years and never wore a ring.if she is single and you get on with kids well then why not give it a try. the one thing i would think of was if you want kids would she be up for having more??

Answer 10

It takes a man to take on that challenge. If you are guessing or whaffling on the subject, walk away. As for me, I consider mothers the next thing to godliness because of the dedication it requires to raise a child and live.

If she has left old things behind, and you have too, she will consent to you as her good thing if you open up. Man, you only scared because love means dedication. Most of us as immature adults feel this same way until we lived and experienced the sacrifice of life.
