To be 100% honest with you you're going to see your picture you're not going to read one word you said you're going to click on your name and say hello you are absolutely beautiful I wish I could see in your eyes though that's the most important part yes you have to say you have a child and the guy who date you needs to understand that child is part of the deal it's not all about him the child comes first and I hope that you know that which I know you do but your child should always come first before any other guy or anybody

I think that would depend on what you're looking for. If all you want is something short-term, or a friends with benefits/hookup, then it's not necessary. But if you're looking for something serious, that you' have a child would be important information. I'd also suggest using a different site than Tinder if you're looking for something serious.

I wouldn't. Peodiphiles are more likely to hit on single moms so they can groom the mother to have access to her child. I'd only let someone know I was a single mom once I got to know a guy more. If he decides he doesn't want to be with me then thats fair enough. If he feels his time has been wasted because I didn't tell him from the start, then he'd need to deal with it. My kids would come first

Just be honest about it because kids are not meant to be hidden forever

SashaAMB · Answer

No because you could attract pedophiles.

If you are then yeah

MTC29 · Answer

You need to be upfront about it. I will scare off some men, but it's better to exclude those men from the start.

Your question is whether you should be honest?

Maniwishiwashome · Answer

Honestly is always best idea

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

No I would not.

1 it simply means guys will flick past without even learning who you are.

2 potentially it can attract the wrong type of person, there are guys that look for single mums….

I would leave it off and mention as part of whatever date it comes up on.

MCheetah · Answer

Yes, even though most men don't want to date a single mother or be burdened with being a father to someone else's kid.

Novacane · Answer

I mean it is really up to you if you want to stay a single mom or not. It's just a bit harder for single parents to find someone considering that it's 2 of you now so a lot of men tend to stay away from that, but if you find someone that is looking to still be there and you accept them then why not.

SweetTay · Answer

Yeah that is important information lol some guys would like to know if you have a kid before getting serious.

I should just say BOOBS.

Lionman95 · Answer

Yes if it´s true, it´s better to come out with it straight away.

Leavesbound · Answer

While doing so may reduce the number of first dates you get it will also weed out guys who won't want a relationship with a single mother. Older guys will recognize it as an opportunity to see what kind of mother you are.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Assuming you are, then yeah, I think you should. No point hiding something like that and getting off on the wrong foot.

Do you want to trick a guy who doesn't want children (that's his right and choice) to like you and drop a bomb later? Or, do you want to meet guys who are interested in your circumstance?

DarkCarousel · Answer

On tinder, it probably doesn’t matter. If you’re on a dating website intending to actually find a date, then yes.

slatyb · Answer

That's pretty important. Some men won't date single mothers. Don't waste their time and yours. And no, a man who doesn't want to date a single mother won't change his mind because you are so wonderful. Not disclosing that is like putting up an out-of-date picture that looks nothing like you.
