Unpopular, but I couldn't consider dating a single mother

I know, I'm evil, even the government says I'm evil for not footing the bill, but there is logic in my reasoning. I want a kid of my own some day, which is fine, but once I do, I would almost certainly spend most of my time and attention on my child rather than hers, which wouldn't be fair to her child. So I guess being the bad guy in this choice ain't too bad if I save a kid from having a neglectful stepfather.

Why am I thinking about this? Well I like to cook, which means I know what to get at grocery stores, and I'm at that age where a grocery store is prime dating real estate.

I remember my father took his own life when I was four and I kind of asked my mother once why she never remarried and her answer was "Nobody wants to marry instant family"

And I see that because true as a male I would have wanted to marry a woman who can provide me with children and not raise someone else's children.

So no you're not wrong however if let's say the child she had was say under 3 years of age then I would consider marriage if she is still able to have children. That way you can always view the children as all of yours and not just "well all except one"

And really personally a church or volunteer position is prime dating area most of the grocery stores have 30-year-old mothers with two or three kids and they're shopping with their daughters so you're kind of out of luck there unless of course you're trying to hit on the daughter you pervert! 😁😁
