...and it's only when I'm with my son. All the other times I tend to be background noise, but I've noticed that when my son is with me I'm getting a lot of looks from mothers that don't have wedding rings. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just that being a single parent comes with drama, and two single parents in a relationship causes the drama to multiply, not add. I'm not a fan of drama, myself, and I'd prefer as little baggage as possible coming from the other side of things, no matter how good it looks next to mine.
And when the hell did I become attractive? I tend to think of myself as somewhere between fugly and "no play for mister gray". I guess I shouldn't complain about getting any kind of attention from the opposite sex, and I guess that single mothers would have certain advantages over non-motherly singles, in that they know how not to waste money, understand the stresses I go through every day, and are generally more realistic than non-mothers. It's a conundrum, and I hate changing.

Could be a blessing, you might meet the right girl. Being with your son likely highlights your responsible side, many single mothers BEING single mothers because the father did not get his crap together.

If you have a son it shows you are responsible, which would probably attract a single mother who doesn't want an immature guy since she has kids and responsibilities of her own. |

Certainly is costly, but yeah, some manage better than others.

It's a conundrum, and I hate changing. Wait... So you're a single parent that is "not a fan of drama"... But you're already assuming that a single mother is full of drama and baggage? Maybe you should get to know one of these chicks. For all you know the father could be dead or in prison. The son could actually be a younger brother. Etc... Sounds to me like you're just scared. Hell, you don't even know why you're "getting looks". Could just be that you have a boogie hanging from your nose ;D |

I'm basing my assessment that single mothers have baggage and drama because I have baggage and drama. Just because I don't like drama doesn't mean it's not there. How could a dead/in prison daddy be less drama than divorced? Either he's a fond memory that I'll always be compared to, or he's someone I'll have to worry about later. Strollers are usually a dead giveaway. If the kid's her younger brother, and she's in her high 20s/low 30s, that's a story there. |

I'm in a similar boat, though I don't think I'm unattractive.
Do what I do: Them.
