Ok girls, if you want to win our hearts, follow these points:

1. Do not act like you are our kids mother, unless it is certain we are getting married. It only leads to hard feelings later on.

2. Do not tell a man you love them, unless you mean it. This actually works both ways.

3. Do not take our children to sit with you at every meeting only to stop suddenly and mix up the child. Kids don't deserve that. Plus we have to go through a lot of torment to re-train the child to sit.

4. Think for yourself. We all have bible trained consciences. If someone is imposing THEIR opinion upon you, acknowledge it, but make sure you agree and it is in harmony with scriptural points.

5. Don't lie to others about how you feel towards us. It creates contriversy later on. Not to mention more hard feelings.

6. Make sure you are ready to date. If you are not, do not flirt with us. We don't need to be led on.

7. I am hot, wouldn't you agree...

I'm sure there are other areas I could address. Feel free to add to my list.

You dork...

Get to know the kids intensely well....they might be your responsibility as well one day, and you need to know what to expect, what you're getting yourself into. And be honest,....if you aren't ready and don't think you can handle it, the sooner you say something, the better.

Along these lines, do NOT pretend to like the kid(s) to get to the parent....we WILL find out, and quickly.

In line with #6, don't date us unless you're sure you can take on the responsibility of marriage and parenthood, and you have us in mind for that....the kids get attached enough as it is, and there's a good chance once you hang around long enough, they might start asking things like, sayyyyyy, "Is Adam gonna be my Daddy?" or "Are you guys gonna get married?"
Just for example, you know.

Yes... Exactly why I wrote that one. Kids want a sense of normalcy. When they don't have it, they yearn for it. Obviously single parents don't have that to give.

9. never hit a single parents child...verbal and psychological abuse are much more effective.

ah.. reminds me of a word picture I can rarely fit into a conversation... 'beaten like a red headed stepchild', never seems quite appropriate. :-/

8. do not expect us to care about your stupid problems. no one likes an emotional wreck!!! who cares if your dumb cat died!!!

a relationship isn't about loving one another...it's about being miserable... and being a jerk!

I figured you would appreciate it. You have an understanding of this type of situation, having been a single parent once.

this is a great post! my opinion guys are more guilty of about 80% of what you listed. LOL

but all in all, us single peeps need to remember everyone IS human and we all have emotions so we dont need to play with anyones. also, some need to remember being nice and friendly does not = flirting. it also does not mean the person is interested in you. LOL

Thanks.

A person needs to be sure of themself before dating. I think that would prevent the above things from happening.
