I'm 31, I have three daughters from a previous marriage, I've been single for over a year and I am ready to find someone new. One thing that I foresee being a problem is the fact that I had a vasectomy after my third daughter was born and I don't want anymore kids. That limits my dating pool to women that have kids and don't want anymore or women who like kids but don't want any of their own. In my experience so far, both of those types of women are hard to find. I'm open to internet dating sites, but I've had the same problem there as well. How does one go about meeting people in my situation? I'm a great guy with a lot to offer the right person, I'm pretty cool and I have an attractive personality that has always been able to attract women, and I HAVE attracted a few over the last year, but this whole not wanting any more kids thing has always turned them off. Any ideas?Any dating advice for a guy who has kids but doesn't want any more?
It will not be too much of a problem. I had a vasectomy when I was 21. I never want children. A lot of women turned up their nose at me, when I was in my 20’s. By the time I was in my 30’s most women already had all the children they wanted. I also observed that many women are child-free today (never want children). I am now 42. Most of the women I date have adult children and don’t want or can’t have more. My current girlfriend is 53. Go to OKCupid and post your profile. Just say, “I don’t want more children”. I posed my profile and I heard from a lot of women. Many asked me, “Are you sure you won’t change your mind about not having children?”. But others did not. I found someone that is just like me.Any dating advice for a guy who has kids but doesn't want any more?
from what i know about this subject, i jusr had a friend go through this, you have to date a little older. i mean like 35 and older. But the thing that sucks about that is you get them when they are far past their prime. Women don't take care of themselves so they kind of let themselves go. It is a double edged sword at this point. i say just look for a good time if that is what you want and you might get lucky. but def go for the much older ones
well all you can do is be honest.eventually the right woman will come along.i have 4 kids(can have more)but wont.couldn't afford the c/s payments,lol.seriously they are rare like you say,but just keep plugging away.be patient.
I think discussing your vasectomy will limit your options. I am 36, and had a vasectomy years ago. I don't discuss it.
Well honestly speaking -None will accept your proposal coz every woman dreams of having her own kid ...just accept the fact ....don't Let your EGO waste your life !
keep trying.. you will find someone.
The more people you meet or are around the better your chances. I am assuming your daughters are school age and there are many activities school or otherwise that you attend or take them to. Other single parents will be there to meet.
Besides time with your kids, what do you do aside from work? Get involved in something that matches your personal interest, Sierra Club, Parents Without Partners, Poetry reading groups, various places you could volunteer in your community, and hundreds more places to go that hold your interest. Your more likely to meet someone who shares your interests and values this way.
Have you written down attributes you want in a person ? Write them down and be very specific. Physically,personality, character,spiritually, everything in a person you think you would value. Then being as no one is perfect, pick your top three. Even if your list is huge narrowing it down to three will help you with who you choose to date. As a single parent, you don't have time to waste or money to waste on time with women who don't have attributes you value.
I met my husband at a bookstore. It was a weekend my kids where with their dad and I wasn't looking...but he was. He said ';hello'; and struck up a conversation. We ended up going to lunch and spent the rest of the day talking at a local park. That was 9 years ago and we both still love books/reading among other things.
I had made a list and he had also.
I hope something here helps you, and keep in mind, there are many women out there that fit the bill.
