Single People

I have little to nothing...wait, no...I have nothing to add that is positive lol.

I'm a single Dad as well (with custody), few friends left (being a single Dad doesn't leave a lot of time to maintain friendships really)...and online is really my only option for meeting people.

Again, not a lot positive to say to that lol.

I'm so not into online dating...I want my guy "if he exist in this life" to meet me in person first..Falling for my online persona then rejecting me for my look in real life should not happen again to me..

I wish I had that option.

Its rare you find a guy that is a single dad. Congrats!!

Aww, thanks!

We're not as rare a breed as people believe, really. Maybe that's a myth perpetuated by the fact that whenever you see a guy in the grocery store, or anywhere else really...with kids, you assume he's married and his wife is at work or home.

I once went through the same checkout line, with the same incredibly cute checkout girl...for three months straight to get to know her. Every time, she'd smile and talk to my daughter (who was at the time 3yrs old). We'd joke a little, she'd tell me Cheyann was 'sooooo cute!!!', and 'she's lucky to have such a great Dad!!'. Finally I thought the time was right, so I said...'Hey, I've been thinking...maybe we could go catch a movie or dinner some night? You seem really great and I'd like to get to know you better.'

The look on her face was priceless. She sputtered about seven times, then popped off with 'I freakin' knew it! Look...I don't date married men, go find some bimbo who does!'

I just stood there dumbfounded. I then looked her straight in the face, held up my left hand with no ring and no ring mark, and said 'I'm not married, I've had custody of my daughter since she was 11mos old. Have a nice day.'

I didn't go through her line again, but two weeks later...she approached me in the produce section, apologized, and told me that she'd been talking with all of her friends that work there, and they'd all decided that I was 'that guy' that doesn't wear a ring so he can use his kid to pull women. Apparently, EVERY guy without a ring on, with a kid...is that guy. We did end up going out, and dated for a few months, at which point I found out that even though she lived in her OWN apartment (her mother and sister moved down from Washington with her 3wks after we started dating), had her OWN car, and a freaking ID that let her get into bars...she was only 17.

Yes, this dating story has a double punchline.

Anyway, her explanation also clarified why anytime I talk to ANY woman at a grocery store, they go gaga over my kids, then run whenever I try to talk to them about anything else.

I gave up loooong ago.

Other spot you may want to try looking is Craigslist Casual Encounters. So many interesting people on there!

Hook-ups seems to be the trend or norm which is NOT my style at all.

Definitely this. Don't mean to be a downer but I feel like it is the truth...

LMAO You guys are so awesome! I don't get why your single.

If you meant me...

:blushing:

It's because the right girl hasn't grabbed me by the scruff of my shirt and informed me I belong to her yet I suppose.

You belong to me.

Awww you beat me to it!!
See that was easy, you just had to ask. Ok, who wants me?

Aww, thanks!
