Should I wink or not?

15-05-2010 12:28am#1Just been cruising by a regular dating site (yeah I'm at that settling down age=) where winking is the order of the day. God bless the days of Facebook where we could poke one another and throw sheep
But anyway I was surprised at the amount of single mums on there. Tbh I don't think I'd be interested in a single mum; it's probably something to do with having to have 2 relationships going at the same time, i.e. her and the kids. Also the whole thought of bringing up someone else's kids doesn't really appeal to me. Neither does the though of Daddy coming around for 4 hours per week and seeming like some kinda superhero to his kids while you're just the outsider who tells them to get to bed.
But on the other hand there are some real yummy mummys out there and in a way I find a dedicated mum kinda sexy. Also its a shoe-in relationship, i.e. there's no messing around, both you and her know the sceal from day one rather than the usual messing around flirting'acting the bollox/etc. that can go with regular relationships.
It's interesting times we live in, the single mum cohort is definitely rising, no doubt about that.
But would you date one ?0

Would I date a single mum (if I was single again)?
Yes.
Why?
They know what they want sometimes better. Likes and dis-likes more sorted.
They are usually more grounded in a number of aspects.
They also have experiences that could be valuable to future plans I might wish to hold some day, etc...
There is loads of reasons to be honest.
Ya can't knock a good single parent. They can teach a young lad or lassie a thing or two on a good day between nappy changes, rather sharpish. 0 -

I think women would be wrong to judge or jump down a guys neck about this issue tbh. Its not an easy choice to make, especially if they haven't had kids of their own, or been in previous relationships with partners that had kids. I'm sure it would be pretty daunting actually.
I guess I'm able to see this angle because as a woman I find it very hard to get along with kids. I've a very low tolerance for a lot of noise, or naughty behaviour. So I can understand how off-putting it would be for a guy that has no experience of it all.
If this were the case, the guy would have to be quite open-minded and a certain level of maturity to be able to handle this. I bring the word 'maturity' into this, because it would take the guy in question to be able to understand that the woman is not looking for a replacement ,or a male figure for her 'ready made' family. Single mothers deserve to be happy like anyone else. And while she might make you aware she has a child or children, a sensible one would keep you at a safe distance until firstly gets to know you, and trust you, before you get within miles of her kid(s).
But like I said at the beginning of my post, it's either for you or its not, and shouldn't be judged either way. From a few of the posts I've seen from guys that wouldn't be happy about it - apply a little sensitivity

You could wink by all means. But you'd want to give some serious thought to anything beyond that. As you pointed out, you'd always come second place to the kids, and would have the fact that the woman will probably always have a connection with the dad, because, after all, he is the father of her children. And you'd have to be ok with the fact that in many cases (hopefully), will play a part in his children's lives and will be the one who will make most of the child related decisions with the mammy. Personally, I dont think I'd be cut out for dating a guy with kids, but maybe thats just me!0 -
as long as they have just one kid. If they have more than one, I hope they are self - sustaining, very rich and not dependant on the state/taxpeyerWould I date a single mum (if I was single again)?
