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.

There is nothing wrong with know what you want and acting according. But just think of this if you could give a child a father figure would you not want to try, The word dad is not just a word it comes with a lot of responsability both good and bad mostly good but the bad brings you to the good. You do not have to be the bio dad to be a dad the fact you are their carries weight you are not trying to replace there dad you are giving them a second dad which most people do not have one dad. Just think what you could do for one child and their future. If there is no Bio dad in the picture well you could be that dad.
