It made me sick to my stomach, but I faked to be ok and change the subject, however after a couple of minutes, I had to ask: What did you told your sister? his answer was: "I told her of course I will commit, I cannot imagine a better person in my life, she is just so perfect". Oh it made me feel so good, but I still have the insecurity that his sister might just be saving the : I told you so! So I decided to google out about man dating single moms, a lot of people outthere have very different experiences with girls in different situations as mine, so I can see that they are upset at goldigin' single mom, but then I came across your page, and I realized, hey we are a great deal! I am an amazing person who happend to find an amazing man to help me on my sick days and be there for daughter and I, as we will be there for him.

I foresee myself dating a single mom in the not so distant future and having seen plenty of 'Brady Bunch' dynamics in my extended family, I am willing to take on the challenge. I sometimes think of my late father who became a stepfather not long after I was a toddler. His third/final wife had 3 children from a previous marriage gone bad and they all developed a great respect for my father. very helpful article.

I have been dating an amazing single mother for almost three years, and by no means did I settle. She is the best thing ever. Yes instant family has been a learning curve but earning her trust and the trust of the little one continues to pay wonderful benefits. I might have settled down, but not settled! Great blog, keep up the helpful information.......wish I would have found it three years ago! ;-) last sentence in #1- “…young guys aren’t ready to settle anyway….”

But the kind of man I am I dont put up with A. Other males. and B. "I just want to be friends" BS.... Kids screaming, illnesses, vomit, shit, puke, being 2nd priority, as long as when he have intimate time, it's the best, a man will deal with a lot of obstacles. All of this sounds fine and well.

Katherine - yes, Kris is young and not yet trained in the "Oh, no - how can I make you feel better?" knee-jerk reaction thing. But he did do a great job at tucking me in, making sure I was okay - all of the stuff that counts. That boy has been through it all with Benjamin and I so he gets major props. Jon B. - what's this you say? Engagement on the horizon??? OMG. I am so happy for you - scared too. But I'm a marriage phobe. But from everything you've written about her on this blog and about your own feelings - I think it's clear that you two should be together. You are awesome! And keep us posted.

I think in order to get over that hurdle you have to love/want kids and see not only the attractive woman you are after but also the caring mom she is. You have to park your desires and work in to her schedule. For me, after about nine months, we are talking about moving in(i may need yall's help on this) and marriage in the near future. Spontaneous changes, at leats I think, from catching a concert or late night martinis to showing up with steaks for grilling or an Elmo Sprinkler. A single mom is also a mirror for yourself and your actions. Seeing someone selflessly caring for a child and devoting themselves to him/her, makes your desires to go go out or party seem trivial. I think, even still, I am a total a$$ at times, luckily she loves me and we talk through everything. I think dating a single mom is the easiest, and hardest relationship to have, if that makes any sense, but if it works out, the most rewarding.

I can so relate... and isn't it funny his first thought was, "I cannot get sick" instead of - "you gonna be ok, honey?" I didn't say it wasn't typical, just funny. Oh, the dating game.... nice to be taking a break from this for awhile. (Although I do miss the simple tucking you in bed because you are sick that comes with the sweetness of the relationship - must admit that one here.) :) Great blog.
