I have a two year old son and im single but all the guys that i date take me like a fling or not serious. Just because i have a son doesnt mean that i dont have a life to live just like any one else. i just want to know how guys think on this matter.

I'm 18 and have a 12month old son and single to. Even though he's with his mom most of the week. i know what your are talking about. i think you just haven't meet the right guy yet.

I think you should consider if the man will live long enough to finish raising your children and be there for you in your later years.  I was told by my parents to find someone within three year of my age and that did not work.

I'm like you. I'm 30. Never had a boyfriend either. I  never had my first boyfriend. I think it's time we both did. Only I need to get out more often and be flexible. You're lucky you meet guys. Don't give up. There's plenty of fish in the sea ... I hope.

funny story...i once did this to my ex. we talked for ever online and he didn't kow it was me. he suspected it but never knew for sure. i causght him in some pretty big lies. he lead "me" to believe he was single and mentioned nothin of our son. (he had 3 children and only said he had 2) he also mentioned meeting up and things like that. that told me all i needed to know as far as what i was thinkin he was up to online all night. so in my opinion no you didn't take it too far

Who cares what others think.  If you and he both think it will work out, than it will.  If he treats you and your kids great... wonderful!  Maybe he seemed mature before because you didn't know him very much, or maybe he was depressed, and now that he knows you, he feels like he can really be himself and have fun.  I wouldn't worry about anything.  Sounds just fine to me.

I am so in your situation. For a while I thought it was because I was scared of rejection or that I felt all traditional, but I really have a lot at stake. I have a son. I like a guy and haven't really decided what is best. I usually get a vote of 50/50 on this topic. I think for me, it might be best to wait. I want to see if the guy is interested, comfortable and confident enough to have the balls to make the first move. Remember, woman sacrifice more in the long run, and should never settle for second best!

To most guys being a single mom means you put out.... Also it means that you are sort of desperate and that you will do "what it takes" to bag yourself a guy... I am just being honest here... of course you are a human being with dignity and respect... but many guys won't look at you like that... \n\nSO my advice is:\n\nDating is fine, but beware of CREEPS... especially Internet creepy dudes trolling around for women that they think they can take advantage of...

It'll wear off over time. \n\nBe proactive - start dating other guys (single) who are your age. Even if they're "not the same" you'll still find someone with good qualities and it'll help you realize you have options.

I prefer to date any girl who is good @ heart, is helpful and sincere and generally has a good aura about her. I doesn’t matter to me if she’s a single mom or a single girl. Character is not defined by having kids. I however do think that single moms are more caring and compassionate as they have gone through tough times (possibly) and have kids to take care of as well. I’ve never dated one though, not that I won’t if I’m presented with the chance. The chance never came for me to do so.

It sounds as if you had a hot and heavy thing going online and on the phone (cyber and/or phone sex?). When you do that with a guy (most guys, anyway), and you plan on a hot and heavy night, naturally he's going to  be disappointed and even feel rejected if you don't follow through.\n\nNot that you can predict physical chemistry. There are times I've felt 'chemistry' over the phone or computer, and then ZAP... nothing... when we met in real life. You can just never tell.\n\nBut my guess is that when you said you needed to get home to your son, he thought to himself that you just weren't attracted to him at that point, especially if he knew your son is 15. A 15 year old boy with 102 fever can take care of himself for one night, or at least a few hours, especially if you're that intereseted in having sex. So it probably also seemed a little transparent to  him as well. Once when I was out on a date, the woman's friend called her on her cell phone and told her she had to come over. I forgot exactly what it was for, but my feeling was that it was a little feeble. I think that people (immature people, likely) have an 'out' of sorts, where if a date's not going well, they'll have a friend call, or something like that, so there's a ready-made excuse to get out of there.\n\nDid you ever get back to him? We guys can't do ALL the work, you know!\n\nIf you're as youthful as you sound, don't sweat it. There will be plenty of opportunities. Just make sure you have your priorities straight. Physical relationships don't usually last very long and become pretty empty if there aren't any feelings of emotional connection to go along with them.\n\nGood luck.\n\n______________________

Yes, I do. I cook, clean, and take care of my son. I am from the south, so alot of women out there are like that. I have been told that I am old fashioned. I like to do it for my man, makes me feel good to make him happy. He does need to help out every now and then though. There is nothing wrong with the way you treat your man, and you do deserve a break every now and then.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but cannot change anything.  I was raised by a single mom as father died when I was 3 years old from cancer.  But during my wise years (teenage years where I truly believed that I was brighter than Einstein) I thought that she knew nothing and was a foolish woman. But much to my amazement I now realize how brilliant she actually was and find myself repeating many of her sayings etc.  Your young son is going through a difficult time in his life as he is trying to cut the apron strings a bit and yet still remain a kid at the same time.  You can certainly sit him down and let him know that you and your friends went through a lot of the same things that he is currently experiencing but if he is like majority of kids he will doubt that you can identify with his feelings. Ha!  I suppose that is why it is called the generation gap and has been around probably since the beginning of mankind.  In a couple of more years he will see that he is not fooling anyone (especially his mom) by telling untruths and/or exaggerating his stories and will come around and respect you far more than you'll ever expect.  I lived through this with 3 sons of my own and they are all young men now - aged 32, 25 and 21, and we actually are able to laugh at some of the things from the past today.  Call on him when you think he is being dishonest but realize that it's part of teenage life at the same time.  You too shall survive this part of your son aging.  Kids today are forced to age at a much more quicker rate than generations of the past.

Of course it is only natural that you would want a boyfriend.\nYour not the only one that has said that they do not want to get\nmarried. There are guys out there that does not want to get married either.\nAs for children there are no rules that you have to have children. Life for you looks like you have it planed out. It may take awhile for you to get the career that you want and marriage and children is not for you.\nThis does not mean that you should not have a boyfriend. Companion ship is part of life and a guy friend is ok to have.\nRight now it would not be serious anyway you are 13 and you still have a long way to go. Just think about your career and leave the rest for as it comes when it come. O.K.

It does sound strange when a man of your age says I live at home with my mom and dad. \nIf I were single and ran into a man who said this to me I would think Oh great another mucher.....If I new you were in school and bettering yourself this does mean something, however I would feel you do not have time for a realationship....\nSince you are gay (or you are in the gay forum) why does it matter what women think?

When I was 20 I dated a guy who was 26... it was fine for awhile but it didn't last.  I say if you feel like you're on the same level maturity wise and he treats you right, go ahead!
