Dating? Is it ok to date

I defiantly think it is ok to date! You need to be a mom first and that is the most important. But you have to be happy as well and move on with your life. I would suggest getting to really know the person first. Dont introduce them to your kids until you know that it may be serious, The only way you are going to find someone is too date and I think you deserve to be happy and find someone amazing!

I see no problem with it. I'm currently dating a guy who's not my daughter's father.. she loves the hell out of him, that's for sure. She doesn't even really know her dad.. and I mean.. when your child is old enough to start asking questions just tell him the truth. I have several friends who've only met their real dad's once or twice but love their stepfathers like their own dads. Whatever makes you happy and as long as the child is number one. that's all that matters.

That's almost like asking if it's ok to be healthy!!! OF COURSE you can date! You have a life to and if you take time for yourself and do something that doesn't involve the kids....you'll go crazy!

I say yes as long as you keep at a minimum meaning i dont think that the guy you date has the right to acually meet your child unless you plan on being with him for a while.That way you dont have to worry about the child being confused about who is who coming and going.I just feel you should be the example you set for your children

I have 3 little ones. My kids dad and I arent together anymore and I am dating someone new. My oldest is 3 and is a typicla daddys boy but my middle is a mommys girl and wants to be with me 24/7.. If I make plans to go out we usually will take the kids to the park first and then they get dropped off with grandma and their Aunts while me and him go out. Its perfectly fine to date but I wouldnt suggest introducing them to every guy you see unless you think its gonna get serious. It took me 2 months before I finally introduced him to my 3

I say yes as long as your child still comes first. I have been down that road too. Wondering it it was ok to date. When my daughters father and I broke everything off she was about 2 1/2 months old. It took till after she was 1 for me to realize this. And alsoif he is man enough to step and include your child then why not. If it makes mommy happy then it will more than likely make your child happy too. Just remember as cliche as it sounds "any boy can be a father but it takes a man to be a dad". NOt sure if things will get that far for you but it's something you have to rememebr now.

Your child looks pretty young to really make any comparisons to who his dad is. I am sure one day if you are still with this Muslim guy in say 2 yrs or so that he will figure out this guy is not his Dad. ( I am sure butting grandparents will tell him sooner) but give your son some future credit that he will figure out that if this guy is nice to me and my mom, he is a good guy. Biology does not make one person a better dad over another. Caring and love does.

I'm not married lol only 19. Cause my parents think it will be all about the guy. And be a reapeat of it again. This guy has liked me since i was 16 and i finally have giving the good the chance but he is Muslim and mom and dad think because he is different my son will start asking questions earlier about his "father"
