Lately, I've been getting asked out by men who are father's. That's fine but quite a few I can't say for sure whether or not they are still with the mother's of their children. They don't say when I mention it and it really annoys me. So I remain single and focused on my child. Does this happen to anyone else? Any insight? Reply to this Question Share |

Someone who is genuinely single wouldn't hesitate to say it.

I don't think it's too uncommon, unfortunately for people (not just men) to try and get a little "something" on the side, thus not telling you that they actually aren't single.
I would (when meeting someone) take it very slow till you are sure they are actually single. Which means no sex till you know. And no introduction to your child for a good 9-12 months of ACTUAL dating.
It's pretty despicable to ask someone out and pretend to be single and any guy who does that I'd cut off like the dead-weight he is.
Do you met these people in person or through dating sites?
