So the title is a bit exaggerated but I am having a bit of an issue. I am 31 years old, and have a 2 year old daughter. I have been using dating sites and I feel like there are no decent men that match with me, and I can’t help but think it’s because I have a young child. I’m honestly feeling really sad that I can’t seem to match with anyone that seems like a decent guy. Im just looking for a connection with someone, not anyone to play a father figure role, as I am capable of supporting and being a parent. I honestly miss the companionship, and although my daughter makes me feel very happy, in some ways I am still lonely. I don’t really know what else I can do other than go out and do things to meet others, but I have my daughter 100% or the time so it’s hard for me to even do that. I’m also not really the type to like going out to the bars etc. Is having a young child really a deal breaker for men?

Edit: Thank you all for your perspectives! I’d like to add a couple of things. I have full custody of my child so the ex is not an issue. When I say decent men, I mean them meeting my standards that I’d say are actually fair. Also, I paid for one of my apps hoping to find matches, but find it’s mostly older men, significantly older than me (over 45) and I honestly feel like they’re just too old for my liking. I have been trying to give that a chance, but I haven’t matched with anyone that meet my standards. My standards are not crazy high, but I do have a daughter so I’m obviously being more careful. I do believe that my choices are more limited when trying to match with guys my age seeing as a lot of them may not have children themselves. I am attracted to men closer to my age so it’s just a bit more difficult.

Nobody seems to be interested in me romantically. Nobody wants me. It just feels unfair that people who don’t value relationships and hop from one to another with ease seem to be able to have that AND regularly are able to find people who like them enough to want to be in relationships with them. I can’t even get a guy to look at me.

I (25M) am struggling with the ethicallity of dating despite not wanting a relationship.

I've been in 3 serious relationships over the last 6 years, with the most recent one ending 18 months ago. Each ended rather spectacularly, and each provided their emotional baggage. The most recent one ended because l was dishonest and hurt both myself and my SO.

Time has passed and I'm pretty much over my ex but still have a lot of growth to do and projects to undertake, which I want to be alone for so that I can throw myself headlong into it. Despite absolutely not wanting a relationship (as it feels to soon and at the wrong time) I think it might be good to start dating again, just to finally fully move on from my ex. I am however worried about entering the dating scene and hurting people due to getting their hopes up / leading along.

A girl gave me her number at work today and I'm considering texting her, as she seemed cool. I don't want her to get the wrong idea and I'm also not sure what it is I want, I only know what it is I don't want .
