Dating as a single mum and been on a few dates with a single dad. He sees his daughter on the weekends but her mum doesn’t allow her to stay over and his house and doesn’t trust him to do it apparently for a few reasons. Is this a red flag with having a young child myself

Evasiveness and painting his ex as crazy are major major red flags. This would be a non-starter for me.

Thanks everyone. Yes he has said about his ex being crazy and neurotic @Planesmistakenforstars. he won’t give me any reasons but has said if she ever tries to get in touch with me then don’t believe a word she says as she is out to get him. It’s all very odd

Run as fast as your legs can carry you. This is a tired old line. She wouldn’t stop him having his daughter overnight for no reason but if it’s anything sinister he’s hardly going to tell you that, is he? 🤣

Sounds like a fair few flags, more like bunting!

Run for the hills OP.
He’s dishing out all the classic lines of abuse.

Nothing odd about it at all.
I bet his ex will have awful tales to tell about him that will show you he is not someone to have around your children.
Not trusted with a 6 year old?
Doesn't want you believing his Ex? I bet he doesn't.

My guess is he is flaky abusive drunk
