    single moms dating, single parenting, single parentsWith divorce rates in the U.S. hovering at the 50% mark, and more children than ever being raised by one parent, the possibility that a man will run across a single Mom are very high.  But many men are hesitant to date a woman with children, and have a long list of reasons they feel such a relationship is more trouble than it's worth. Recognizing their fears though, single Moms can approach the dating arena armed with knowledge and ready to deal with men's fears head on!

    Here are the top 10 reasons men shy away from serious involvements with single Moms:

    (1)   You Just Can't Get Away. You are tied down and can't just scamper off forspur of the moment romantic dinners, spontaneous plays or concerts, or midnight breakfasts. Spur-of-the-moment overnight get-aways are out of the question. You have to get a babysitter. You have to make plans in advance.  And if you can't find a sitter, or your budget won't allow you to hire one, his desire for a romantic evening or weekend with you goes up in a puff of disappointed smoke. 

    (2)   You Have Children by Numerous Guys. Most guys accept the fact that our society has changed and that divorce, long-term cohabitation, and just plain carelessness means that there are many women with children in the dating pool. Dealing with one guy about his child or children is usually not much of a problem. However, the chances of "baby daddy drama" increase substantially the more personalities there are involved in the new relationship. Men may stick around for awhile, but few are looking to "wife up" a woman that has that much baggage. 

    (3)   Your Children Are Too Old.  Tim is a 33 year old computer technician in San Jose. He won't date a woman that has children over the age of 8. Tim drew the line after he got hit with that "I don't have to listen to you 'cause you ain't my daddy anyway" line one time too many. He acknowledges that many women make the mistake of telling their young sons that they are "the man of the house," something the young boy may take great pride in. The son will thus challenge any contender tothe throne and his power in the household. So for Tim, unless the children are relatively young, he doesn't want to be bothered.
