I have a dilemma. I have two guys asking me out. I am a single mom so I have to manage my time with my daughter and with making time to go on a date. How do you explain to a guy that he is going to have to "wait his turn" so to speak so I can be fair to the other guy and not take away time from my daughter?

The only time I have available to go on a date is the weekend, but I also use that time to do special things with my daughter that we can't do during the week. So, no matter which one I say yes to, the other is going to have to wait for at least 2 weeks maybe 3.

I really don't know what to do. And I know I'm taking a chance on one of them saying they don't want to wait, which is completely understandable, but I really don't see another option available. Anybody got any advice?

_________'s mom has got it going on, going on.....

tell them just what you have posted here. If they're worth it, they'll understand. Good luck

ok.....well, choose the guy you like the most first.He is the first date.However, do not tell the second guy about the first date...this will not hurt him or make him think he "has to wait his turn". Then, do things with your daughter on the weekend but as early as possible.Then, go out on the first date on Friday night.Then go out with the second guy on sat.You will have a bteer idea which guy is best at that point.Sunday is for you and the daughter entirely. Then just date the guy who seems to be the best fit. I hope this works Carmen.

Do like the cruise lines do: have an early and a late seating.

When with kids they come first if he cant wait send him to the taxidermist up the road
If things work out he is not going to want to see he is second because your kid comes first
That is what I do as I have similar dilemas
I am not gonna lump my kid with someone who does not accept that
Sorry be strict with yourself you will gain respect

Will let ya know if I ever have that problem.

eeeeeeeeeeeney meeeeeeeeeeeeeney miney moe!!!

If a guy really likes you, he will wait.....if not then you have eliminated bachelor number 2.....

Thanks Rob.

Wow, that's going to be a busy weekend,lol. Just hope I can keep everybody's name right.

Just call them all BOB!!!

SO MANY MEN, SO LITTLE TIME!!!
I'd manage it with a HUGE SMILE on my face, toots!!!

You guys are right. If he's not willing to wait, then so be it.

So I guess I'm either going to have a very busy weekend or make the choice of telling one of them that they will have to wait it out. I guess either way, I'm going to find out which one is worth keeping around.

ditto

Never said it would be easy Carmen The kid and your favorite Bachelor should both come first. Of course your happiness has to be there as well, not compromised.

Tell them the truth and if they are worth it then they will wait for you if not then you know where their priorities lie.

Oh being a single parent and dating has never been easy. And I don't think it ever will be. And my child will always come first before any man. So I guess if they aren't willing to accept that, then they aren't willing to accept me either.

As long as both are aware that you're not exclusive with anyone it'll work for a time. If I were in one of the guys shoes, however, I'd be more apt to keep my eyes open as well though, while you were making up your mind, or would bow out all together. Depends on my mood and what I really felt about the person. Competition is not my way and I'm more inclined to spend time with someone who has more time available than even once a week.

a date doesnt have to be a formal outing.....
during the week do you get lunch breaks.....do lunch,coffee,picnic so many things to do....

my point is on the weekend go out, and have fun!
and then one day during the week meet the other for lunch..

i never get asked out
