Hello Again,
I am a soon to be single parent & am looking for advice on a certain subject. How do you date guys? Most guys i know dont want to have anything to do with me because i have a child, so where can i look to find family oriented men that are willing to accept my daughter as part of the relationship..
all help is greatly advised :x

As a divorced and single dad, I don't really consider people who don't have their own kids. Look for the single guys raising kids in your area. ;-)

so, your saying you prefer to "look" for girls w/ children?

[diermuid]

Yes, yes I do. For a variety of reasons

I found that I was basically 'invisible' in public, because I had my kids with me 100% of the time. I did the online dating thing & met someone that way. If i was co-parenting with my ex, I'd have a few weekends a month (at least) to meet someone in-person, but I was completely solo. I figured I'd find someone who was a single dad, but ended up with a guy who's got no kids of his own, but is an uncle/worked as a school bus driver. He is thrilled to have a family

Yeah i deffinitly plan on taking my time & being very cautious. i figured they where out there , i just wasnt sure if they were very common. I geuss its an age thing, bc most men my age (25-27) arent ready for children

[diermuid]

You're lucky if most men 25-27 are able to clean their own bathrooms. ;-)

*lol* thats very true. im my experience i havent had much luck with men at that age being very mature

I'd suggest not looking to "date" right now. Instead, I'd look for family-oriented activities. That way, it's natural that you'd have your child with you. As diermuid was saying, once you make friends with people in that type of group, who is to say what might then develop? And even though there might not be too many single dads around, it's a good way to make friends (and hey, you probably can user child-friendly friends) and they might have a brother/neighbor/business partner who, while not having kids of his own, at least is comfortable around kids and is open-minded enough to giving it a try.

I always had much better luck that way than I ever did in any sort of organized "dating" capacity.

Good luck.
