is it good to date a single father?


Question Posted Friday November 18 2011, 1:14 pm

hi guys, i've been dating a guy who is in late 40's and i'm in early 30's for a 1 year and a half. he has a daughter age of 5 with his ex girlfriend who just lives about half and hours away from we live. we love each other and also he never stops saying his daughter is main priority. i'm confused sometimes as i want to be with him and he says the same but i don't know, guys. i do not know what he's thinking. so, is he worth to date as he's a single father. thanks you.

Yes he certainly is I mean he is a normal guy, just that he would always see his daughter as number one because its his blood family that he has, so why not, you love him and he loves you, its normal for a single parent to say these things as they worry about their kids first, he loves his daughter and he loves you differently, but you have nothing to worry about, best of luck

Depends on how you look at the situation


Yes, Of course his child is going to be his main priority. Anyone who is a parent is going to put their children first, Just like I would hope you'd put your children before someone else.


This guy is a package deal, You knew that when you started dating him. Why all the sudden now 1 1/2 years are you questioning yourself? If you can't handle the fact that he has a daughter and she comes before you then yes I agree with the user below me leave the relationship. It would be extremely childish and wrong of you to try and come between a father and daughter relationship.

Then why not be together? The thing you should expect however is his daughter will always come before you. That his child and his ex girlfriend will always be a part of his daughters life so you can expect her to come and go as well. If you can handle and respect the fact that you aren't his main priority then continue on. I think it is misleading and wrong to date someone for a 1 1/2 years and still keep him thinking you want to be with him. It's dishonest

I'm a little confused with why you think he may be bad to date, but whatever.

I could be wrong and I'm sorry if I am, but it sort of seems like you're AGAINST his daughter being his main priority? If that's the case, leave the relationship now. You will never be able to come between a father and his daughter, and you're a terrible person if you try to.
Once again, I'm sorry if that's not what you meant.

Moving on, he says he wants to be with you, why do you question it? Has he given any reason for you not too? If no, stop. Be happy, let yourself be happy with the relationship.

You don't know what he's thinking, well of course not! No one can read minds. If you want him to open up to you more and share what's on his mind, ask him. It's simple. Tell him you'd like to know more about his worries, what makes him happy.
It's safe to assume you both have been in a number of relationships, and therefore know what's needed to keep a relationship strong.

As I said before, I'm a bit confused with what the problem is here. So far he seems like a wonderful man. He loves his daughter more than anything and he seems to love (If you haven't said the L word yet, than like) you too.

Make sure you get to know his daughter, make an effort to be her friend and get her to like you, he'll love that and so will she.

Feel free to inbox me any other questions or details. I'd love to help with anything else.

Good luck!
