It takes a over strong individual to be a single parent. And it takes an even stronger man to step up to the plate and raise a kid on his own. I commend you, and the other single dads out there. Too many men don't step up to the responsibility of being a father in general, so kudos to you.

They are a rare form now days.....

Seriously!?!?!?! Your assuming that ALL single moms became pregnant out of wedlock. Not so!!!! Some of just aren't as lucky as others. I was married, but was in an abusive relationship. And I refused to raise my children in that enviorment. So don't assume anything...... I was scared for our lives so I left because my children deserved the best. And the best was me becoming a single mom.

I am a single mom of two children. I have a girl and a boy. Did you have a hard time finding someone that accepted your children? And also how did you approach the subject with kids with your girl? I haven't dated anyone in a long time, and I'm looking to get back into the dating scene. Does your partner have children of their own? And if so how do you get along with them?

If you're closed minded on this subject, please do not respond. No bashing. My choices are my own, so please do not post if your only going to judge me.

I think this is an excellent thread to have started. I saw this and nearly jumped for joy!!!!



I am a single mom of two a girl, and a boy. My oldest, my daughter was born with a very rare condition called extrahepatic biliary atresia. She had her first surgery, called a Kasai, when she was ten weeks old. Then went on to have a liver transplant ten days before her first birthday. I call her my miracle baby, because I almost lost her three times before she got the transplant. She will be 6 in November, and we are 5 years post transplant. Ere are only around 300-500 cases diagnosed in the U.S. alone every year. There is no known cause, and the only treatment s are the Kasai, and liver transplant.... I could go on and on, but could take a while..... Glad to see this topic.

Okay so being polite hasn't worked, being in a work environment its kinda hard to tell them to f off. Have you tried speaking to your boss about it? And if its your boss go to a higher authority. Do not be afraid to tell them that if it continues, that you can press sexual harassment charges. That will usually get their attention pretty quick. ...... I had a man anger push me into a corner once. He thought he was off camera, little did he know, I knew exactly where every camera was.... so everything was caught on tape.... hope you can resolve this issue. These situations really suck, and are very uncomfortable....

I'm still fairly new I guess, but I haven't met any snobby ladies.... good luck in your search.

Yes! This is such a great question. I have met people that I could talk with for hours, but had absolutely no attraction to them. As it turns out one happens to be one of my best friends now. He really is an amazing guy, just nothing there other than friendship. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Just because I'm gay doesn't mean my morals are lesser than yours. Seriously you are a prime example of why I don't date men any more. I'm posting here, because I have nothing to hide. I stay true to myself, and don't go around compering myself to others. I have a little something called self espect.

I agree completely. I for one am tired of everyone guys and girls alike making everything about sex. I'm definitely attracted to ones personality over all else. A relationship shouldn't be about sex. It should be getting to know one another for who they really are,bbuilding a foundation, and companionship.

BwhahahahHahahahahaha

From the sounds of it, probably already is......

Today is my first day being active on the forums. Some post have shed light on some of my fears. And others have made me realize that people are people.... Sadly to many are not wh they say they are. I do like the fact I can express myself freely here. Which I do no matter where I am, but still makes me sad that some people are so shallow.... With that being said, I still have hope that one day I will find the one I'm meant to be with. It more than likely won't be here. Still just testing the waters honestly. Haven't been back in the dating scene but a few months now, and I'm keeping a cautious eye.

I'd say its a bit mediocre, but I'll let you know if I have any results. Lol I'm giving it a try at least.... So far keep having trouble fighting off nothing but perves.... Guess we'll see how long I last.

Really, why haven't you then?

dcastel I couldn't have said it better myself. Lmao!!!

I agree, that to many like to play games. I am one that has no tolerance for that though. Just BC of what I have been put through in the past. Sorry forgot to quote with my last post....

I wasn't ready for a long time. I wasn't even on any dating sites up until here recently. I had people ask me out, or offer to help ,e in exchange for things. I turned them all down.I just did some soul searching, and found who I was again. I went back to school, and just concentrated on my kids. Now I'm slowly stepping back into the dating scene, but cautiously. Only because I'm weeding out the fakes, pigs, and losers.... if it happens it happens, if not its for a reason.

Yes we are just few and far between. If you leave yourself too open, its easy to get hurt.

You sir are exactly why I will not date men anymore...... Not saying all men are bad, just that most are pigs......
