Single moms should only date divorced dads? Sorry, Truth Serum, but you're way off on that one. I'm a single mom and I've never "had" to date a divorced dad, not to say I wouldn't, just haven't come across one I'd want. The men I have dated, (some who were younger) were great guys who had no problem with my being divorced with children. They weren't desperate losers who didn't have any other choice, either. They're attractive, smart, successful men and I'm still friends with most of them. With some the problem was they want to be married and I don't. Sorry to burst your bubble. You know, you're telling us we're too narrow on our search by wanting only single, younger men, but aren't you doing the same thing by saying you'd never marry a woman who is divorced with children? There are plenty of beautiful single moms who just married too young or too quickly the first time and would make wonderful wives. Marriages don't end because someone had kids going into the marriage, but because the husband and wife have differences that they can't work out. Mothers know how to give and receive love unselfishly. Sounds like you could use some love yourself.
