I starting dating again when my first son was 17 months (his dad is around)...I dated my childhood friend great relationship but he had to break up with me to get his life together but I know he regrets doing that (his sister tells me that and that he made a stupid decision by breaking up with me). I just had baby number 2 in May by a guy that I have been friend with since elementary school. We aren't dating which makes me upset by his inability to commit to me. He's a great father. I'm still a little mad about something that recently just happened. I just hope he comes to his senses soon. Now at the moment I'm not in the mood to date anyone right now. Just gonna go with the flow. Haven't had any luck in the dating field yet :-(.
Thanks ladies.... :).... And mamaBrundage that's amazing!! I'm so happy for you!! And you too naynay...hope I have the same luck
My oldest daughter was 18mnths when i left her dad, i started dateing a guy about 3mnths later i had known him for a cpl yrs tho but he was amazing with her! i was nervious at first but after i saw how good he was with her it was easy. We are now married expecting baby number 3. So there are good guys out there who will except ur situation i was lucky and found it first one out hopefully you will find someone whos good enough to be in your and ur daughters life :)
I think it might actually be better to date a few guys n find one you actually care about while she is little before she is old enough to get attached to them. If the guy really cares he wont mind, my bf does more for my son than his dad.
Yeah that's what I'm afraid of as well...I don't want anyone around her until I'm positive that I'll be with him for a while. And I know some guys don't like to date "moms"
I am a single mom n i didnt date for awhile when i had my first son not wanting guys around him that wasn't his dad but i'm young n need to enjoy my life so i started n im on baby #2 now
