A single parent is right, even morally obligated, to be respectful and caring towards their co-parent. It doesn't mean they still have feelings for their ex, it means they are decent human being, who understands how important parents are to their child's life, and their responsibility towards their ex and their child.
You can't generalize about all single parents - of course some are still in love with their ex, and some treat their ex's horribly - but a single parent who is respectful and caring towards their ex is the BEST kind of single parent to date - because they are the most responsible, mature and loving kind.
If you can't cope with the fact that a single parent has that important relationship with their ex and child, then maybe you aren't cut out to date a single dad.

Even though it is possible for the man to still have feelings for their ex, it's not always the case especially when he has a child.
The only way to tell if he is worth dating is your personal opinion. If he is a good guy, takes care of you and his child, loves you, is a hard worker, ect, then you need to decide for yourself if you want to be with him and if he is worth it.
He is going to be defensive of his child and his child will always come first. You need to know that and if you can't handle that, don't stay with him.
They will be defensive if their child's mother, you will have to accept that and you shouldn't be talking bad about her anyways.

General assumptions can not be made in such a case. You must learn how to evaluate each person based on their own personal views, beliefs, morals, hopes dreams, passions, etc. We are all unique individuals. I would chalk off your experiences to coincidences if you keep running into similar people. Either that or God perhaps has some special lesson for you to learn, best learned by being in these situations.
As to whether a person no longer with their ex still loves them, its possible. It may be more the memories and emotions attached to an ex that a person's subconscious mind has trouble letting go of, or perhaps they are mature people who have really let go, the love changed from romantic to loving the person as family, but not as intimate partner. My husband has such an ex. He loves her, not at all as he loves me. That loves evolved into something else. If a couple parts as friends, especially if theres a child involved, a new mate will have to be understanding, not jealous of the small stuff that really doesnt mean anything, like ones subconscious accidently using the other peoples name, or calling them honey when speaking to them. Heck I call my kids honey, any dear friends honey...things like that should be evaluated with an open mind that is not looking for finding problems or to point blame. If a partner is faithful to you and treat you well, I don't see any problems.
