Don't date single moms unless their husband died in a fire or in Iraq. Anything other than that is just her looking for someone to raise her kids.

Feel free to fuck em, or if you don't mind being a dick, leading them on.

A lot of women with kids have only had sex with one or two men. Some single moms are nice women just like anyone else, and some are crazy. Kids do complicate things, but it's actually a good way to tell what kind of person she is sooner because it's an added stressor/responsibility for her and you'll be able to observe how she handles that. She may just be after a man to make money for her or to have a dad for the kid, and if she is it'll be immediately obvious. I wouldn't discount a woman just because she has a kid. If it does seem she isn't right for you, do like you would in any other relationship and just break it off. No big deal.

>You think I'll be in way over my head?

That really depends. People end up with children for all sorts of reason. You kind of have to decide whether or not you have room for someone and their child in your life.

Its not a small decision, especially because if you decide to be apart of a child's life like that it would devastate them for you to just up and leave.

4chan is going to try to convince you that single parents are undatable but thats just because they're all teenagers who aren't mature enough to have committed long term relationships, much less be responsible for a child. If you're in your late 20's, early 30's, single parents in the dating world are not that big of a deal. People fuck up. People think they're in love and have kids when they're young. We all make mistakes when we're kids and sometimes we end up having to raise those mistakes. Men and women both. You can be a fucked up broken individual without a child so I don't think having one makes you a piece of shit.

Like I said, its up to you to decide if you have that kind of room in your life. If you don't think you can handle it thats perfectly fine.

I'm actually a divorced father and of course the advice I've read so far in this thread is fairly inaccurate. Just like with childless people people with children come in large varieties. Given a more mature and stable couple like in my case who split for normal healthy reasons it is hardly the case the woman is looking for a man to raise her children as their real father is still involved. In such a situation you're also likely to encounter people with property, careers etc so there are a lot of benefits to be had... on the other hand, if you're looking at young barflys with bar babies then it's a lot more plausible what's said above is true-looking to raise kids etc. just consider each case separately, for its as difficult to generalize here as it is with respect to people without children.

You'll never come first in a relationship with a single mother. That's just a fact. That being said, I lost my virginity to a single mother, and it was absolutely fantastic.
