There is nothing that makes a group of men, or any individual man, cringe faster than the notion of dating a single mom.  A consensus for today’s single man is that single mom = baggage, and most men will shy away from it.  On the other hand, for this reason, many men also view the single mom as a great opportunity for a fling. Today’s family has changed.  It is 2008 and the United States Census indicates that America is home to over 11 million single parents.  The chances that you as a single man will find yourself dating one then, are pretty good.

There are many cases of singles - divorced, widowed or never been married, never had kids, who are taken with the idea of a tailor-made family.

Or even someone who just loves kids, it doesn't matter whose they are. So don't limit your options.

When you do start dating, go out with several different people before narrowing down the field. This not only gives you the chance for some uncomplicated fun but also doesn't leave the kids feeling too threatened that you're getting serious with someone so soon.
