So this question came about because Cypher Ave Co-Founder and single socialite Nick Delmacy stated on Twitter that he would not date a man with kids.
I had to stop and ask myself, if I were single would I date a man with kids?
The answer for me is…that it depends. I think its safe to say its possible young children require more from their parent/s than teenaged or adult kids do.
So if a guy I was interested in had young children, I would think to myself, the time I could spend with this man would be limited. If we got serious, we couldn’t go out of the country lets say to an “adults only” spot.
Do I want to put myself in the position to be a part of a family?
I think this is different than lets say a man with a 19 year old. I would think due to the teenager being more “responsible”, they can be home alone or by themselves for a night or three. They are one foot out the door to adulthood anyway, right? So in my mind this would be more acceptable. Is my thinking selfish or self centered?
But hey, that’s just how I feel. What do you think…Would You Date A Man With Children?

Yes, there is nothing wrong with dating someone with a child. Its a win-win situation and no body should think less.
I have never dated a man with a kid or kids but I would not be against it.
Dated one and it never really bothered me, also maybe because he was responsible for the most part. It was actually a turn on to see him so responsible for his youngin’
Wouldn’t limit myself in the future tho..
I’m pretty young, and I generally try to date people in my age range, so If there was someone in my age range with children, the kids would have to be toddlers… At which point, I don’t think I would enjoy a relationship with a person with small children, I don’t like small children, and I wouldn’t want to try to get between the man and his children.. as well as the fact that he may have relationship problems with the woman that is the mother, which is a turn off.. Child support, custody agreements, etc… no thanks.
I would because I’m a single gay black father and proud of it.
My first BF had a kid. We were both 23yo and the kid was 3yo and couldn’t STAND me. It’s always a slippery slope I feel, when dealin with someone with kid(s) because one way or another that kid becomes part of your life depending on how serious shit gets, as well as like Michael Holt mentioned, Baby Momma Drama. Now, at 36yo I have so little patience for ANYTHING, I don’t think I could handle dealing with a kid, but then again despite the fact that I say I don’t like kids, I know I’de be an excellent dad so…I guess I’de have to try it out again and see, if the opportunity ever presented itself again. So to answer the question, yeah, I date a dude with A kid, not KIDS. One is enough LOL
I would as long as he was not a deadbeat dad and there weren’t a whole bunch of issues around his family and baby’s mother.
I don’t want kids,so probably not.
