I have become aware of how difficult dating can be when you are raising a child. Trust is harder to come by when 2 hearts can be broken instead of 1. It would be nice to find someone ligitimately honest to get to know on one of these sites. Am I just wasting my time or is it the norm?

You are not wasting your time! It is hard to date in this age group, especially if you have kids! But we all have to realise that more and more people in our generation are getting divorced and are out there trying to date! And 90% of us have kids that are our priorities but we still want to have a little fun and find love again! So don't give up it is normal!!!!!

It can be done with a child. I find it most important, though, to not have my child meet the person that I'm dating. I don't want my child bonding with someone and then they are gone.

Women fear that men may want a mother for their kids. The reality is that some men including myself bring up kids better than the woman who left or was left behind.

In my case she left me and as it turned out I am a better dad than the mother of the children.

As for dating this site is useless though I have had dates but like I said it is useless. The friends made here though, are precious.(Like the nice legs above me) :smile: flowerforyou

okay it would have helped if I put my reply in....it is not impossible you just have to go out of your comfort zone a little to take that chance on someone. If you have good instincts you can pick out the bad ones real easy.

I agree. Dating at this age is very difficult. The motivation along with wondering if one will ever find someone who is not so damaged or addicted and willing to love you for who you are with your children and all that comes along with a teenager and a toddler. Somehow, it seems a bit hopeless. Maybe, I am just being a bit pessimistic.

I am in my 40's and that is what worries my I guess. Its never really been a problem dating me but now with such a full live ( an autistic son) and so much time devoted, I supposed I am doomed to being single.

Its hard becasue if you never date, then its a BIG deal if a woman comes over to your kids, and if you date all the time, its like NOT a big deal to have a woman come over to the kids, I don't know which is healthier, actually.
