Would you date someone.....?

I dont see why a guy wouldnt date you. If he has a problem with your kids then he is not worth your time. You ex is using this as a scare tactic. Dont fall for it.

Long story short, the normal rule of thumb for guys is stay away from kids - a lot more guys than I care to remember have gotten themselves into a lot of trouble that way way, and horror stories about crazy single moms abound. That being said, I personally would not be interested in a woman with what I would consider a psycho ex - I may be willing to be your friend, to hang with you for a beer after work, etc., but there'd be zero interest in dating, at least until I was sure I wouldn't get murdered for the attempt ;) Until you can resolve things with your ex and get him to move on, don't expect much luck in dating - besides, it wouldn't really be fair to ask someone else to risk having to deal with him. I generally avoid single mothers anyway, but I'd always be open to giving it a shot if I were really into a chick. The ex is the major deal killer here, the kids just add to the "stay away" factor.

For now, I would say I would not. Though I haven't yet went out with anyone with kids so far, so who knows, maybe I will. But many guys out there WILL. Seems like your ex is just trying to make you feel bad for not taking him back. And if he said no one will date you since you have kids, and he himself is your only option, that already proves he does not love you. And seeing how he treats you so bad, why get back with him in the first place. If I were in your shoes, I would rather stay single my whole life than be with a man that abuses you horribly.

And yes, many guys date woman with kids once they love you enough, so you don't need to worry about that.

Never in a million years. Sorry.

The biggest reason is because I don't want any kids myself, and I don't particularly like kids. So I wouldn't want to date someone who had kids, because that infringes on the kind of life I want to have. For me, it would just be a burden on my relationship with my partner.

But even if I were the kids type, I still wouldn't do it. That's a lot of baggage. I almost never see relationships work out where one person has kids from some other relationship.

Between the sacrifices of having to raise kids that aren't even yours, and the often bitter relationship they have with their ex's, it's just a huge world of drama I wouldn't want to be involved in. Dating someone with kids is just asking for a life full of headaches.

Okay: I am a girl and I would date a man with children, as long as he wasn't still married.

As to your predicament, you are right to not take your ex back. Your children deserve better than him, and he's wrong. There are plenty of men out there who would be interested in a woman with children. And here's the thing, if they don't want your children then there isn't any point. Your children are a part of you, and if they can't accept that they can't accept you.

Either way, I'm sure you'll find a brilliant, loving man who will treasure you and your two children. :) Keep being strong!

Plenty of single moms find love again. You'll be no different. I wouldn't personally date a woman with kids at this point in my life, but I'm a nineteen-year-old responsibility-fearing college student.

i honestly believe that kids shouldn't be a reason why you couldn't date anybody, because i would date someone who has kids.i think it all depends on the individual if they are willing too. not everyone on this earth thinks the same. but i know it would be nice to take them out every now and then, i don't have kids of my own and i'm single and i would love to experience spending time with children. i say forget about your Ex and love your kids, if a man will come along then he will if not.. you still have your kids.. Be happy :D

Hang in there Jess ... you'll find Mr Right .... not all guys are assholes (though you may find that hard to believe after reading some of these answers ...lol) ... Yes I would date a woman with kids .... and there are plenty of single dads out there as well ... so don't stress too much ... when you least expect it someone will come dancing into your life .... and who knows ... it may even be me :-)

let me tell u how to deal with him.

- tell him u don't need him anymore.

- tell him u don't need any other guy cos u already have 2 wonderful kids.

- tell him u live your life and he live his own. why does he have to bother about you?

- tell him u can perfectly take good care of urself and ur kids with no help from other guys.

and as for urself.

- u dont really need another guy to survive.

- i dont see a reason why no one would wan to date u anymore.

- if there's a GOOD man infront of u jus go ahead. u dont have to pursue for one.

i believe ur a nice lady so there will be another chance for u, so dont take tat jerk's words too seriously. take sometime.. enjoy ur time with ur kids alone.

Don't get back with him for the sake of u and ur kids.

And yes there are men that would date a woman with kids
