It depends if you are a responsible single parent or not..(ok.....dad or mom, both) If you are...maybe yes...if not...you have all your time, money, home, mental health to do it (obviously if you have all that hahahahaha)

βSingle dads are stated to be so attractive to single women because there is an association that they are responsible, nurturing and can prioritise those who are most important to them,β says Sarah Louise Ryan (edited)

I know I would have been cautious about dating a single dad. How they react with their kids, how they interact with their mother, it can be very revealing as to who they are as a person, but you have to be willing to accept that you come second, and that you SHOULD come second, to those kids. I would not date a single dad now though, my son leveled up amd I'm done.

I imagine it does π€ I guess you'd want to date someone who's going to accept your kids and understand that they'll always be the first priority. At least that's my take as a mother myself. π€·π»ββοΈ

It can affect dating as the child is the priority. The new partner in the single dads life will have to make some adjustments and so to will the single father. So much to discuss and if the childβs mother is still alive then the new partner and single dad have a lot to discuss to work out where the new partner will fit into the family dynamics. Worth working out for the right long term partner.

Being a single parent in general affects dating. The responsibility of being a parent outweighs everything, and some people don't like that in the courtship phase of things. (Edit: used effect instead of affect...whoops!) (edited)

As a single father myself I would say it varies from person to person. Some would be okay with you being a dad, understanding where you prioritises lie. Others not so much. There is a stigmata I have found around single parents, let alone single fathers as it is "baggage" or some threat about the ex still being in the picture as well. Key factor I would say would be communication.

I can only speak as a single mom (full physical custody) with the other parent absent. It was difficult. It still is difficult. The wellbeing (physical, mental, and emotional) of my child/ren take priority. ALWAYS. As a parent, my wants, needs, and desires are secondary to my children. The sacrifice is hard and I struggle with lonliness at times but I know that it is temporary and worth it when I see my kids flourish.

Being a single parent in general effects dating. There are schedules to work around, babysitters to find if the kids are young, the decision on whether to introduce them to your child(ren) or not and when, last minute canceled dates, and the list goes on... yes, it effects dating.

Since I'm not a single dad π. But I will take a wild guess and say yes it does. For the simple reason of "More responsibilities". (edited)

Unfortunately it does, slightly. I am a single dad. And while some women expect themselves to be a priority above everyone else, sadly they never will be when dating a responsible, single father. The child will always come first. Even above one's self. Some are able to accept it. Some are unwilling to.

It's not a deal breaker at all. As a single mother I find it's one extra thing we can relate on and that the single dads tend to be way more understanding if my parenting causes rescheduling of dates. So I guess I'd rather a single father at this point in my life. It's a bonus since I don't want any more kids either.

As a woman with no kids having dated single/co-parenting dads in different stages of "dad life"....it depends on the age of the kid, the relationship between him and the mother, and the custody arrangements.

Of course it does because any major life change will affect most aspects of your life, especially one as significant as choosing a life partner. The biggest thing is that you are now selecting not just for yourself, but your children. You have to ensure that who you bring into your life will not only be a match for you, but also your children. You can't bring chaos or tension into the home because this will negatively impact your children. Your partner has to have the same love and respect for your children as she does for you. This is definitely a challenge for many and it's something that should be respected and not looked at negatively. It's a challenge to walk into a relationship and be willing to accept a shared role with children that aren't yours, that may resent you, challenge you, etc. It affects the time, focus and priorities of a relationship, which unfortunately are huge in a brand new relationship. Most relationships will fail to get off the ground because you cannot prioritize a woman, give her excessive attention and ample time when you need to give it to your children, especially when they are young. Children are a blessing and they need their father fully committed in their life. They didn't choose to be brought into the world, so they should be the priority and not neglected because of the failed relationship they were brought into. If a woman cannot understand this then it's just not in the cards. This is the same hurdle for single mothers as well, so it goes both ways.

I think being a single parent in general can affect dating because you have to ensure your children are safe and okay with the person
