being a single father?

i've been in multiple relationship in the past, and i've had good and bad experience with a variety of girls. being a good or bad girl doesnt seem to make a difference. as i given everything and dedicated 100% of my life to every girlfriend that i've had in the past. doing everything and etc never to seem to change the results at all. as they've all cheated on me and left me.

so, here i am, a guy whos about to be finish with school and going to grad school, and im thinking that maybe relationships are too complicated for me, as i love the alone time and time to myself and i do want to have kids as well. so my thoughts are whenever im ready to be a father, i would like to have a segregate mother and ill raise my kids by myself and with my parents.

i know undoubtly that raising a kid without a definite "mother" may cause problems and etc. but do you guys think its a good idea for me to do something like so?

Update:

i choose not to adopt because i would want replace myself so my genes would be passed down other than taking someone else's. i wouldnt mind adopting, but that would come after im able to replace myself.

    This day and age, there are more single fathers than people realize. If this is something you choose to do then it is YOUR call, and if you see it as a good idea then I say go for it as long as you realize how hard being a single parent can be. I was a single mother and although I lived with my parents after my child's father had left me, I was the sole caretaker for my son. It is time consuming and tough but being a parent is the best job you'll ever have. It does make some of the dating situation a bit tougher though, because depending on your age and/or the age of the women you meet some of them are not ready to deal with children or the thought of being with someone who already has a child may turn them away. I dealt with guys who simply didn't want to be with me because I had a child already, and I'm sure there may be some women with this mindset as well. Having a kid means you will be making a lot of sacrifices for them so get yourself ready if/when you decide to do this and I wish you the best of luck!

    I don't see why not.

    But you're still really young, so you may not want to write off all relationships yet. There are a huge number of women out there who put as much effort and care into their relationships as you do.

    Good luck, dude.
