Are guys willing to take on a single mother?

Question

Im 18 and 18 weeks pregnant, the father isnt involved (his choice, not mine).

Do you think that guys will be willing to date a young single mother or should i wait until my child is older?

btw if i were to get involved with someone it wouldnt be a sucession of random men, but someone who would want me and my child, i couldnt give them the kind of disruption that some kids go through.

Answer 1

I don't know if this is of any use to you, but when I met a lovely lady with 2 children she was a single parent of 2 lovely youngsters. We met thro a mutual friend. We all hit it off - the children were 5 and 3 at the time. The lady had dated occasionally before we met. We are still together 15 years later - we married, adopted the children (both parents have to go thro step-parent adoption in the UK), and had a daughter between us. Our eldest, son, is now 19 and working for us in our legal firm, our eldest daughter is seeing her first serious boyfriend and our youngest is a comedienne. They all get on and we are very happy together.

Neither of us could have foreseen how things worked out. I suppose what I am trying to say is that you never know what is around the corner. Try not to worry about it - your child will take up an awful lot of your time and give you a lot of happiness.

Hope that helps. Good luck

Answer 2

My friend has a 2 year old girl. When she was 6 months old the dad left and they got divorced.  My friend is very attractive and a lovely bubbly person too! SHe has lots of men after her :)

I think it depends on you more these days but just make sure you chose a man who will be best for you and your baby because your baby is your main concern now as i am sure you know :)

Answer 3

i was a single mother with 3 kids as the father left me and i found i had no trouble finding men who would willingly go out with me knowing this. So long as you are honest from the start and dont rush into anything you'll be ok. However if i was you i would enjoy the time with your baby on your own for a while first as that is the best and most rewarding relationship you will ever have, then when you feel you are ready to start dating again just go out with friends and enjoy yourself and you will eventually find a man who you will want in your and your baby's life. However take your time and dont automatically see a date as a potential dad for your baby. I am now married to a lovely man who has taken on my three children on as his own and we now have another one of our own too. You'll find love when you least expect it.

Answer 6

of course!!!!

Answer 7

You are young, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

You baby should be your priority though, not getting a boyfriend.

Answer 8

Of course they will be interested, but you have the responibility to not rush into any relationship, and to make sure this is the kind of man that can make both you and your child happy, also believe me, men will be the last thing on your mind when your baby arrives!!

Answer 9

There are men out there who will get involved with a single mother. I was a single mother with two children and found someone. At time it has not been easy but life never is. Just do not rush to find someone.The one will come along when you are not looking. My only wish is, That I meet my partner years ago.
