I'm 30, I have a 20 month old, been single since just after he was born. I've tried OLD. Was surprised with how many really quite nice (seemingly) blokes there are on there. Problem is, if I tick the 'has kids' box I get very few matches or messages, if I leave it blank, I get a few people message but ghost when I say I have a child, and when I do chat to someone who is cool about me having a child, they tend to flake or ghost when I tell them my son's age and that I'm a lone parent. One couldn't deal with the fact that I wouldn't have every other weekend free.
I'm finding it really, really disheartening. I completely understand that men are allowed to have preferences and I appreciate that dating a woman for kids is not for everyone.
I'm a bit worried I won't meet anyone for years and the chance of having another child and giving my son a sibling will be totally lost. This scares me a bit.
Is it totally hopeless dating when you have a toddler?
