Why not! But at the end of the day its all about how you feel about a women with 2 kids! if its not what you want, dont go there....but if you think that you can take the challenge, go for it and enjoy the love and affection that she has to offer.

You just tell them how you honestly feel. You can't concern yourself with if they are going to be hurt or not. Both men and women have a hard time finding a partner when they have young kinds, unfortunately its worse for the woman with young kids. Its a matter of choice, and if you prefer not to date someone with young kids, that is your perogative and you have the right to make that decision. What's important here is your happiness in life with another.

I have dated several times since I started having children. My first priority is my family. I would never chose a man over them so I am always honest from the beginning that they come first and are most important.\nNo man meets my family until I am comfortable with him and feel like it is the right fit. We have been through enough no reason for them to get attached to someone just to be hurt again. Sure of course something may happen the relationship doesnt work out. But I need to be comfortable in it before my baby meets the man.\nSo the man always knows about them...they do not know about him right away.\nThe only REAL difference I see in dating is I can not just up and go out. I very rarely leave my children with a sitter (ummmmm....ummmmm I remember once and that was a GOOD friend otherwise the only couple of other times its been family) so its not like I can just plan a hot Friday evening out Friday morning.\nMost guys are accepting and even love that I have a family and am very family orientated

That's a tough one.  I'm a happily married guy, and living in NYC, I see a lot of attractive women.  Yes, we shouldn't do this, but as long as we do not lust after them, we are OK.

go for it, young lady!\n\nnothing wrong at all with keeping your options open.\n\nIn fact, until you are finished with your education and have your career going, normally around the age of 25, you shouldn't even be in a committed relationship, but should be dating different guys... ideally as many as you can manage, and as many as are dumb enough to buy you expensive gifts, vacations, and dinner dates at expensive restaurants.\n\nmore power to you!

Once again, he has a kid. She will ALWAYS be his kid. I would NEVER let a man come before my daughter. Men who can't/won't understand that aren't worth my time. As I said earlier, a bit of action is easy to find or replace.

A woman about my age that isn't looking for some kind of sugar daddy, but a partner.  No kids wanted,  if she already has a child, not baby, thats OK.  No bad attitude about men, we aren't the enemy after all.

An average looker, I would rather have kids around the house, then have someone who isn't really into a relationship. \n\nI don't like to wait, and I like a guy that I can hit it off with. \n\nxoxo\nMaddi

I am a single mother and I have had guy's that are interested. It is good in a way because most guys who are not sincere wont bother with you. But it is also bad because you have the child to think about and how it will affect him or her. I don't think it's a matter of hot or not as much as it is for them to be like family or not. It is hard for alot of men to deal with the fact that there is another man and always will be but it is a good way to find a man who is true in his word.

I think the question you need to ask yourself is are you looking to settle down and get marrired or are you just looking to have a little fun.\n\nIf your only goal is fun, there is no reason you can not see the man with kids (especially if he is only looking for a casual relationship).

I agree for dating, yes, that kind of guy if fun.\n\nBut for marriage, she really wants a guy she can laugh with, TRUST, depend upon, that he'll be a good provider, and keep the lawn nice, AND help with dinner dishes, and most ideal, cook side by side with her in a fun way, plus be best friends with, and have \ns e x with when they please.\n\nOK, maybe this total male doesn't exist, but we can dream can't we?

For me being an old fashioned romantic kind of guy and a strictly monogamous gentleman. I wouldn't use those words exactly. But, if we're that much in love and we have a strong long lasting commitment between us. I would let her know that I'd love to have children with her. The woman is ALWAYS included in the package. The family package ! :)

I'm a grown azz woman. I myself have two kids and a ex husband. He first would have to deal with that! I would deal with his situation as well. Kids come first or should in any type of relationship! \n\nMy ex BF had a child and our kids got along great. I use to talk to his "baby's momma" on the phone all the time to plan play dates and etc...What these girls now days need to understand is that you are with this man now. She was his past, she will always be a part of his past and future with the two of them caring for their child. If these girls cant handle what the ex looks like or how many times she calls you etc...then dump there azz. You nor your child deserves to be treated in any such way. Find yourself a woman that loves you and respects you and TRUSTS you no matter what! \n\nIve got mine finally and he is the best thing ever!!! My kids adore him and so does my ex husband!

Well, my mom was a single mom all my life, and she is the woman that i admire the most in the universe, she looked out for us first and never got involved with anyone because she was protecting us, now, she found a great guy and married him, and she is super happy, i think i would marry a single mother without thinking it twice, if i love a woman i don't see why i shouldn't love her kids, they are part of her and i would love her, so it makes sense. Now there is a lot of guys that see single mothers as an easy target for casual relationships, and that is not right, the best thing for you as a mother, is to think first on your kids, and then if the guy treats you and them right for a long time, allow him to get a more serious realtionship, but not right away! I would recommend you to date him for a long time, as if you were 16, no casual sex or anything, if he is interested in you, he will wait, after all, that is not the most important thing in a relationship, and its a great way to see how much respect he has towards you. God Bless you!

well you don't see like a guy  who is ready to settle down with just one lady, if you have 7 at the same time i will be sorry for each and one of them.\ni hope they see this and  leave you all alone cos you don't deserve to be with a woman, you can't respect a woman \nsorry

Most guys think that they'll have to take on the responsibility of taking care of you and your kids and it scares them. They dont want that. Even though you tell them you dont want that from them, they dont hear it. There are men out there and wont care you have 2 kids, but they are few and far between. I myself have a son from a previous relationship and I have found a man that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I never thought anyone would want me because of me having a son, but I have. He considers my son his, and I couldnt be more happier with him. All I can say is, dont look too hard. Eventually you'll find someone who will respect you and your kids. Dont just jump into a relationship. Be friends first. That way he can get to know you and your kids. Best of luck to ya!

I wouldn't date either the ugly guy, or the hott guy... It wouldn't matter that the ugly guy was sweet if I wasn't attracted to him, and it wouldn't matter that I was attracted to the hott guy if he was a complete jerk. As for the poor or rich guy, I would DEFINITELY choose the poor guy. Even though it's nice to get gifts and be taken to nice restaurants sometimes, it wouldn't matter if it didn't mean anything. I would much rather be with someone who has no money, but has the heart to cook me dinner at home - or save for a long time to buy me something special... that would make me feel ten thousand times more loved :)
