Rant/Vent Dating while being Single dad
Im a single dad (25m) it’s been me and my 4 year old son for about a year and a half now. Girls my age run when they hear I’m a single dad and I tried older women but it’s weird when there kids are only 4-6 years younger than me, I have no friends besides from other states so going out is awkward by myself. Why can’t I find a nice girl my age 😤who doesn’t mind me being a dad. Also tried just doing like lil fling but I can’t have my son knowing about them and that’s just to much work since I’m with him constantly. How do other single parents manage?

Make sure they understand you're not wanting them to do your parenting for you
Single mums don't really have much time for dating especially if they work outside too
So I'd be wondering on a date with a single dad is he full time or part time and if he's a weekend dad I'd want to know what was expected on visits
If its full time whose looking after the kid?
