Single Parents...how long ?

Question

were you in your last committed realtionship? How long did it take before you re-entered the dating scene again?

Answer 1

About 3 years. After we separated I dated a few times but they didn't fit in with my son and I. I haven't dated for quite a long time. There is not enough time to go do that right now.

Answer 2

After I divorced I focused on myself and my kids. Started back to college to be something to provide stability for me and my kids.

I focused on becoming independent.

I waited about 2 1/2 years to re-enter the dating scene. I am in a stable relationship now. We are committed to each other.

Answer 3

i was in my relationship for four years and got prego and he ditched me and his son and have not dated for about a year now i know sux but i just cant reopen myself up and get me and my son hurt

Answer 4

My ex boyfriend and I planned the pregnancy, and he left me about two months into it. I decided that I would not date until my child is either a teenager or older, and it was the best thing I could have ever decided to do. I don't want anymore kids and my main focus is this one. I don't have time to worry about dating!! :-)

Answer 5

wi mom,

you need to get laid sweety.

quite being so negative.

Answer 6

Single parents don't have time for dating. They need to parent.

The time for dating will come when the children are grown and out of the house.

Answer 7

I am single and due any day with my first child.  I will date when I find someone suitable.  Having a child is a responsibility, but makes me no less a woman and an individual.  I refuse to define myself by the label "mommy".....I am a capable woman who is many things, not just a mother.  I refuse to put my life on hold for the next 18 years.  

Answer 8

4 years. I'm not currently ''seeing'' anyone right now, but if i do i want to make sure my kids are happy and i am happy.

Answer 9

My son's dad and I were in a relationship for probably around a year before I got pregnant, but we've known each other for almost 10 years.  We've dated off and on throughout those years, but always remained good friends (until I had our son, now we are not getting along at all).  

My son is 10 months old.  I don't see myself re-entering the dating scene anytime soon.
