My childs father left me since I was pregnant and its not like I’ve been “looking” for anyone but it seems the few guys I have met didn’t want to get close.

  1. I remarried last summer at 28 years old with two boys, ages 3 and 5 at the time of the wedding. Their dad left me when they were 18 mos and 3 years – a year later I started dating a 25 yr old male who loves them like they are his own kids, and we married one year after that! We are now expecting our first baby “together” this feb.
    It’s challenging, but if you find the right man he’ll love you and your child. Btw… I married my pastor’s son. I think the type of man you find depends on where you are looking.

  2. Everyone is different – but in general a single guy, in his 20’s, with no child themselves – would probably not want to be in a relationship with someone with a child. A serious one anyway. Not all, but most.
    Obviously there will be some that don’t mind, and take a chance, and there will be some that have a child themselves, and their partner left them. I had two firends who in there 20s (albeit late 20’s) – single, no kids married women with kids not there own. One married a girl with 3 children at 27 – they now have two more, another married a girl with a child at 29 – but I do have a lot of friends. Usually the 30+ yr old divorced males are more readily willing to handle that load.

  3. I hate to say it, but a guy in his 20’s likes to party and is still having a good time. An infant could get in the way of that. It could also get in the way of guys in college who are busy with school, but those guys are probably not interested in anything any ways except for school. Just wait a couple of years and it will get better. Besides you don’t want some stranger raising your child anyways.

  4. They ARE out there just few and far between. Having a child already really helps weed out the men from the boys. A BOY would not want a woman with a child, but a MAN would. My husband was only 21 when we had our first and i was 18, we both went through our party years at a young age, and did what most 20 year olds did. So we both were ready to settle down and mature real quick, and succesfully we did and seven years later and 3 kids down the road we are doing great. Hang in there, you will find Mr. Right, he IS out there, its just when its your time and the time is right, it will happen for you. In the mean time, just have fun with the boys, just dont get attached or let your child in their life.

  5. Speaking as a guy in his 20s, most of us are not in a mindset of commitment, and nothing says commitment like seeing a woman with a child. We’re like women in their 20s…most don’t want commitment either, just want to have fun. It’s likely a maturity thing. Also, many of us are engrossed in building careers and don’t want to deal with children who require a lot of work. We’re only young once, so enjoy as much of it as you can before it’s gone forever.

  6. I would think so but there are those few out there who see it as a plus that you already have kids.
    Mostly men in their 20’s just aren’t very mature yet. Like a fine wine they need some aging time. Just keep your eye out for a good one this time and hang in there and be the best mom you can be!

  7. Sadly it is par for the course i am afraid. But, take heart, you will find someone. Maybe not this week or next week but that person will come along when you least expect it. My wife died 3 years ago and i was left to bring up 2 kids. Then out the blue i met someone and we hit it off. I am hopelessly in love now.

  8. Concentrate on your child instead of you social life. You need to make your child the most important person in your life. Your future mate (when that happens) should be the kind that would appreciate that. Perhaps someone that is doing the same thing and your union would be in pursuit of spiritual wholeness not just physical wholeness.

  9. Yeah, guys in their early 20’s just want to have fun. So don’t count on them. Just have fun with them as well. The good ones are the ones with kids or have a good family backround. Just watch out for yourself and be strong. There are good ones out there, but you just have to look.

  10. Most guys in their early 20’s are put off by moms with infants. Don’t look so hard and what you are looking for may find you.

  11. Yes Yes Yes
    Guys in their 20’s don’t want to deal with “baggage”

    Some men or boys don’t like the idea of a woman having ‘baggage’…
