While i'm not a single parent my mom was. i saw the types of issues she had to go through and i was the one (being the youngest) who heard and saw her crying. I understand it's hard for young singles to find someone whose willing to accept them and their child. Being only 22 i find the concept of walking into a relationship with a single mom extremely frightening. Of course dating in itself is scary enough but now the added pressure of whether or not this person is looking for someone their child can call dad, or uncle Tom. Even though i am only 22 i don't shy away from dating single mothers. I don't single them out but i also don't close them out. If i find a girl interesting and someone i feel like i can have a connestion with why should her having a child dissuade me. I understand that having children is a major responsibility, but isn't that fact that most of us are Eharmony members show, in a way, we are looking for more responsibility because heaven knows that commitment to one person is MAJOR responsibility.
I also understand that single parents have to be EXTREMELY careful. You never want to invite the wrong person into your life because you looking after your child now and your child is more important than your feeling alone.
I was just hoping to hear a few people opinion on dating young single parents. It's a tight rope walk and fairly so, but how does being a single parent effect the choices that you make.
