SINGLE MOMS: divorced mom of two needs dating advice!? i have been divorced from my abusive and irresponsible ex-husband for 8 months now and have adjusted to being the only provider and parent of my two great girls. i have graduated college and started my new career, decorated my new apartment and had a wonderful makeover. i'm doing well, except... i am now ready to date again. i have no clue as to how to go about meeting men to date, or telling men gently that i have two children that mean the world to me. i don't want to date a man who has children, just a personal preference i have. is it worth looking for a decent guy who is willing to date a single mom? or will i be wasting my time? any advice to give me? a couple of people have put me down because i would rather date a man with no children. i choose that because i want to date casually for the time being, and if a man has kids that i become attached to, it will make it that much harder to stop seeing him. it's one of those variables i would rather do without. but if a good guy comes along and has children, i am not going to opposed to dating him. my ideal situation is to date a childless man casually as to ease myself back into the dating pool. but who knows? my dream guy may have 10 kids, and i have no problem with that. but to date casually, i would rather a man with no children.

What to do while dating a divorced single mom? i'm divorced as well and i'm a single father. i just met her and things are great. we talk all the time, she is beautiful but doesn't know it, she thinks i'm funny and she's into me. Problem is this. we just started dating and we really like each other....i just found out my company is being bought and i'm about to lose my job. single moms look for stability and right now mine is up in the air for the first time in 15 years. i really like her. she emailed me out of the blue looking for support through her divorce. it was weird. it just happened. i don't even know where she got my email. we connected and i think she's great. i'm afraid though when i tell her i have to cut back on spending because things are tough for me, she'll drop me. What do you think? i really like her. she's great, sweet, beautiful and was abused terribly by her 1st husband and is now just figuring out she is fantastic because i've been telling her that. what is she likely to do?

Forty year old divorced mom dating a 28 year old man who wants to move in.? I am a 40 year old divorced mom of 3 boys under age of 10. Six months ago I met a very cute 28 year old man who is unemployed and lives in another state. He lives between his mom's house and his sister's home. I was honest with him from the start that I did not want a serious relationship. He lives in another state and can date anyone he wants to and I don't care. I am successful at my job and support my family by myself. I have a beautiful home and cars. I am not a stupid woman. I only wanted an occasional companion for sex and travel. Now he calls me all the time and questions me about seeing other men. He worries that I will meet someone else. We visit each other for one week each month. Now he wants more and wants to move in with me. He says he loves me and I have love for him. Is there a nice way to explain to him that I want to continue to see him but he cannot live with me. He has also started talking about us getting married As I said, I am not stupid. I am not letting him move in with me and I will not support him. I like things the way they are. I care about him. How can I let him down nicely?

Dating a divorced mom and overcoming the "ex that never goes away"? So I've recently started dating a friend (2 months) and her divorce is going through Monday.. She has a son who is 2... the ex has been against the divorce since the start and I feel like he will never give up trying to get her back. I feel so young and immature in regards to it all, i'm 23 and she's 26 so it's not that much difference. She has always known she should be with a woman, she has been with more than men. I'm terrible with kids, I try, but there is no way I can be amazing with them. I care about her son a lot, but I feel like I'm never going to accept him and love him. I want to.. but it just makes me think of her ex and I really don't care for him and makes me feel somewhat insecure b/c that man is the father of this child.. and here I am with his mother.. even though I am more than worthy for this woman but I just feel like i'm doing something wrong .. is that weird of me? How can I move towards loving him? I love this woman and see a future.. but how do you overcome the whole ex that never goes away thing and accept the child that isn't yours... It just makes it harder it seems b/c we are women.. and when her ex finds out about us it'll make it harder since he is a unreasonable hick. I'm in college and she probably will never go, so I feel like I'm left to try to support them eventually, even though I have no problem doing so someday, but feeling disconnected doesn't help... the whole ex husband thing bothers me. i know she loves me and I'm secure.. but.. ahhh I just hate the idea of having to deal with her ex for the rest of our lives... b/c i want her all to myself..she doesn't love him anymore.. well she does b/c he is the father to her son..but still.. I have no idea.. i'm new to this whole thing : ( obviously I'm aware of the "baggage" I'm not saying I'm against accepting him and loving him.. I just don't know how to go about it.. and I love her.. so i know I have to deal with her ex.. i just am unsure how to approach it all. I am happy despite how it sounds.. i was in a terrible relationship before where i was used and lied to over and over.. so this is soo much better..

I would like to know how a divorced 38 year old mom of one grown son gets back into the dating world? 10y out? I find the dating world impossible today. I have been divorced for 10 years and devoted to raising my son. Now that he is grown I am ready to explore dating. The dating world is very different compared to 20 years ago. My two experience have been painful and alarming. I am sincere and honestly seeking someone who would like to spend quality time together. I am a homeowner, college degreed and intelligent woman. Why is it so hard for me to find LOVE?

Dad is getting divorced again, and dating a childhood friend of my mother (his 1st wife) Is he a cad? My dad and mom divorced when I was 12. It devastated me and my mom. I don’t think I ever got over the feeling of abandonment. He also left my mom for another woman who was the mom of my childhood friend! Apparently, they were sneaking around for about 4 years. I never really forgave my father for what he did, but when I had kids, I wanted them to know their grandfather. My wife also opened my eyes to the fact that the woman he married was really a good person so I let him back in. We never really lost touch, but I built a mental wall between us and we were never that close. My father (who is now in his 70’s) has now left this wife who he has been with for 40 years. We were not proud of his decision, but about 6 months ago he moved to a new apartment. After a short while, he decided paying rent was a waste of money and decided to buy a condo. We all started to think a new girlfriend was in the picture. What else could be the reason for his behavior? My mother also started to get very depressed which is not like her. When we asked what the matter was, she refused to tell us. A few weeks ago, my father insisted he bring someone who was “in town” to a family function. He said he could not attend if she did not come. The woman came, but neither admitted to any relationship other than being old friends. Afterwards, I asked my mother who this person was and she told me. This woman is the new woman in my father’s life and was a childhood friend of hers. Not her best friend, but one of their circle of friends who all grew up together. Most of them still keep in touch with each other. Most of our friends and family are very upset about this. How could he hurt my mother again? The first time he left her for another woman. Now he gets involved with a childhood friend of theirs? My father thinks there is nothing wrong and we should all get over it. Surprisingly, there are a few people who agree with him. Who is right in this? Are we being too sensitive? I am ready to tell my father to leave and never come back. Am I overreacting? What is your opinion?

Divorced and dating again - Relationship questions? I'm divorced for 3 years now. I met a woman who is going through a divorce now herself and we began dating. She's a single mom full time with the father having visitation every other weekend. I am a single father with custody every single weekend. Our kid - free time is next to none, which is fine, because I love kids too. Now for the questions... She's working full time now, which is new for her since being a mother. She's struggling financially, but she's making it. She's going through her divorce, and she's working on finishing her masters degree. Add all this to the fact that she's now dating me, and she's really feeling stressed, and worried that she can't keep everything together. I've offered her moral support, and even given her space. Is this the right thing to do, or is there something different I should be doing? Anyone with similar experiences? We haven't been dating long... within two months. The euphoria of a new relationship is wonderful, yet we've not crossed the line into saying "I love you" yet, and we started things slowly between us. We are dating each other exclusively right now.

How do guys really feel about dating moms? I'm kind of confused about a situation I'm in with a guy I've gotten close to through a school project over the last month or so, so I thought I'd ask for some second (or third!) opinion. The situation: he's 26 & I'm 30. I'm taller than him & told I'm good looking (I do get asked out alot so there must be at least some truth to it :P). He's pretty average looking (adorable to me of course!), shorter & looks alot younger than his age. We are both in the same degree program & have a lot in common, however the big difference is that I'm a single, divorced mom. I have two kids ages 12 & 10, a mortage, etc. I'm self sufficient & have been for years so I'm hardly looking for a 'daddy' for kids. They have a very involved father & step-mom. My love interest lives with 3 guys & has never been married. I get mixed messages from this guy. I flirt & he flirts back, but when I joke about us going out he seems hesitant & won't answer. I catch him looking at me too. What gives? Does he like me or no The other thing that I forgot to add is that I'm pretty sure he's aware I like him...I haven't come right out and said it but I've made it clear enough lol. I don't want to mess up a chance with this guy because I really do like him. What would be the next step with all of this in mind? Do I back of and just treat him like a friend and see if he expresses interest? I know it's alot to put on a guy to date someone with kids but I'm not sure how to reasure him that I'm not looking for a 'baby-daddy' without it being weird. It's not exactly a natural topic of conversation lol. Me: "Btw, P...I totally dig you and want to have hot monky sex with you but I don't need you to be a dad to my girls or anything like that..' Him: "uuuhhhh..." <dear in headlights look Yeah...doesn't exactly flow does it? LOL That should be *deer* in headlights look lol *blush* That was definately a Freudian slip ....

How do I tell my kids that their divorced dad is started dating? I have two kids, 18 and 14, and they live with their Mom. I have met someone and have begun dating. I know that it will be a tough adjustment, but I want to figure out what language I should use. I want them to know that the time I spend with them will not diminish, that I will always love them, and that the person I am with does not replace their mother. It's not my intent to have a revolving door of new women on a regular basis.

How do i deal with my parents dating others...? ok here's the story My mom and dad got divorced when I was little, my mom got married then my dad too. Mom got divorced then has been dating for a while and her current boyfriend I DO NOT like at all, he doesn’t like me either. Just recently my dad got divorced and I’m worried that he’ll start dating and it will be just like at my moms. FYI I love my parents but at my mom’s I don’t like it very much because HE’S(the boyfriend) is there a LOT and I can’t enjoy myself he just makes me very miserable (my mom hates this and therefore is angry at me) ,anytime he is there I want to find someplace far away from there or something. I don’t want to live my life like this at my dad’s too. I usually find seclusion and peace in reading (I read about 4-5 books a month at least) and it works ok. So my question is how do I deal with my parents dating. (sorry if I seem selfish or something)
