nothing about it scares me away, but maybe I'm weird. I think for many guys, it's a two-fold problem; they fear your child will take attention from them (as they should) and they don't want to be "burdened" with someone else's child. It's pretty selfish and if they like you they should be ok with it.

Try dating people who are between 30 and 35. They will most likely be more open to dating someone with a kid if they are ready to settle down. I don't know much about this just my theory. I feel like most people in their mid twenties probably feel overwhelmed and scared to commit to not only the woman but the woman's child.... Then again if you find the right person the age may not matter. But if you want my opinion, I think you'll have more luck with people who are a little bit older and not just dating around for fun but ready to settle down. Hope that helps ☺

@silmarilion - Explain your comment, how can the woman be scared, she is being honest by divulging her child's existence. I agree with @QueenofQuirk.

Mom = Kid = Responsibilities & limited Freedom. Did you try online dating portals. Like this you can say straight away that you have a son and you will only get contacted by men who are ok with that. Like this you save yourself the effort of flirting, making first conversation etc. just to find out at the end that a kid is a problem for him.

"Responsibility" scares some guys away......

It's because most men don't want commitment. A child is a burden so they can't have you when they want you due to baby sitting etc. Stick with it and you will find that one person who wants you and your child, and not just you alone.

.....you never know when "Dad" (translated- the baby favah)will come out of the woodwork.I dated 3 women who had kids but they were 20-something or older and had moved out of Mom's house.It makes a difference.

awwww ,, don't feel low you will find someone who wll accept you as you are and take all responsibility :)

responsibility is what scares men away

Aww. I wish I cpuld help.

Because some (not saying you) try to meet someone who will take care of her/child aka use for the money. But, there is guys out there, just take your time and he will show up when you least expect it.
