They are very encouraging. I just wish there were more men out their that understood this concept instead of being rude, disrespectful and immature!! Seriously, I wish men would read this. I almost feel like a teacher assigning proper read homework before dating a single mom. I do say that I am too a flower girl. I feel that leaving flowers and little love notes is something I would like. It shows you are thoughtful, caring and kind. It would also show my son how a man should treat a woman right. Little boys need proper male role models Thanks for the words. They are very encouraging.

Its been so encouraging to know that as I grow as a person, a mother and continue to take all my disappointments and learn and grow from them that I am desirable to the right kind of man... that the things (single and parenting) that the world may view as a sore on society, is in fact one of the most enduring things about me!! This puts some wind in my sails to continue on being beautiful, broken and blessed the entire way!!! Thank you Seth for your post!

I do have to say, that putting flowers on my doorstep would be more than welcomed and what a great thing for my son to see! ROMANCE! You have to admit ladies that we need more men that are willing to get a little crazy for us and what a great thing for my son to look up to and aspire to be.... a lover who is not afraid to show it!! Our lives are so filled with rules and guidelines and LOGIC.. these are all great things.... but I have seen that some of the greatest acts of love had nothing to do with logic...

You are searching for somebody to make you smile! #1. If you search for somebody to date and make you smile, you will have scores of men interested. So if it is so, don't worry. #2. But if you want somebody to help raise your children and who contributes financially and with work to this task, this will be much harder. My experience dating single moms is that some of them want #1 and some of them want #2. Some of them tell you that they want #1 but what they really want is #2. As an example of single mom who wants #2 and says it with honesty is Lory Gottlieb <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200803/single-marry" target="_blank">http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200803/single-marr...</a> You are not searching for a father for your child.

I started dating a single mother with a small child three months ago, and was hoping that someone else out there shared my views (I don't know any other single mothers, much less a guy who is dating one). The thoughts in this article are articulated very well. I am still very new to this, and want to apply the deserved care. The bottom line, though, is that she is a normal woman who is dating like anyone else. In addition to that, she is the most considerate, honest, and understanding woman I have ever been involved with. I know it's not easy for her to do, and I am lucky to have such an amazing woman in my life. It’s refreshing to read the guest post.

I have lost someone I love very much and probably for reasons you have advised against doing. I liked your blog very much and will keep the things you said in mind for the next time. Thanks Hi Seth,

I just have always been a little sensitive about topics like these and have never had patients with the ignorance too many guys have when it comes to single Moms. I usually read the meat of each paragraph, kind of like speed reading, and actually get a fairly good read on the whole story. But, you're right, it was much more pleasurable reading the whole thing slowly. You did a bang up job Seth, my hat's off to you! I actually linked this blog on my blog because it is packed with great information for those who may be interested in dating a single Mom, and even for those who wouldn't be. Thanks for guiding me back to re-read this again properly :) Hi Seth,
