He Admitted That He Doesn’t See A Future With A Girl He’s Casually Seeing Because He Would Never Seriously Date A Single Mother
This guy realizes that he cannot speak for all men in the world. But personally, he would never choose to enter a serious relationship with a single mom.
That’s why he only began casually seeing a 31-year-old woman recently who has a 5-year-old child.
Sure, he has met her son a couple of times, but only on “fleeting” occasions when he went to her home and was forced to interact with him. And for the most part, he and the woman have just been engaging in casual intimacy.
“I thought we had an understanding of our casual friends-with-benefits arrangement as we discussed it when we started seeing each other,” he added.
But, just yesterday, the woman went over to his home and started asking questions about their future together.
He was taken aback and asked what she meant by “future.” Still, she doubled down, asking how he envisioned moving forward with her.
At that point, he was forced to “begrudgingly” tell her that he actually didn’t see a future with her at all. Then, he kept trying to dodge further discussion of the topic.
However, the woman wouldn’t stop “pestering” him, so he was eventually forced to tell her the honest truth.
“I finally told her that I would never take dating a woman with a child seriously. My future partner is only going to have my children, no one else’s,” he revealed.

“That’s just my personal rule. I know people who have kids with five different people and to each their own. But, it’s not my thing personally.”
Now, his response seriously shocked the woman, and she couldn’t believe that he was being serious. He assured her that he was being honest, though, and pointed out how they were only casually hooking up because he never considered wanting more with her.
Plus, he even claimed that if the woman hadn’t had a kid with another man, then he definitely would have considered starting a relationship with her. But, in his mind, that’s not what happened, and “it is what it is.”
After he said all that, the woman tried to say that the fact that she has a child shouldn’t matter if they get along great and really enjoy each other’s company– which, according to them, they do.
“But I argued that a child, especially a 5-year-old, is a massive commitment– one that I want no part of,” he recalled.
This wound up causing him and the woman to get into a massive fight, too. She even began crying and fled his apartment!
In hindsight, he realizes that maybe he could have been less blunt about his views.
“But I feel like I did nothing wrong,” he vented.
Still, with the woman now so upset with him, he’s been left wondering if claiming that he would never date her because she’s a single mother made him a serious jerk or not.
Can you understand why he doesn’t want to date a single parent? Are people allowed to have different dating preferences? Even so, do you think he handled this situation in the best way? What could he have done better?
