Guys are initially attracted to a woman’s physical looks.

Everything else only becomes a consideration after he has determined that he finds a woman physically attractive.

When he looks at you, his first thought isn’t about whether you are a single parent.

His first thought is about determining whether you are physically attractive to him.

Upon deciding you are physically attractive, the next step is an intention to open a conversation with you.

The idea is to have lighthearted, flirtatious conversation.

This early, he isn’t thinking about whether you are a single parent or not.

As long as you are fun to talk to and showing an obvious attraction to him too, his next intention is to get your phone number or ask you out on a date.

While he was engaging in lighthearted conversation with you, he never cared to ask you whether you were a single parent.

All he cared about was having lighthearted banter with you to gauge interest and determine compatibility.

This is your opportunity to show him your personality.

Regrettably, this is where lots of single parents drop the ball or mess things up.

She is so concerned about the fact she is a single parent, she struggles to showcase her personality.

Instead, her body language is anxious.

Does this sound familiar to you?

A guy makes a move on you, and your body language is negative, as you worry about the fact you are a single parent.

Unfortunately, this is a guy who is experienced at reading female body language.

Anxious body language where you aren’t sustaining eye contact and seem uneasy gives him the impression you aren’t attracted to him.

This perception is further compounded as you struggle to have a free-flowing conversation with him.

Given how anxious you are about being a single parent, you are failing to answer his questions properly and to flirt back.

Sadly, all of this leads him to a conclusion that you aren’t attracted to him.

As a result, he ends the conversation fairly quickly and walks off.

This had nothing to do with you being a single parent.

He doesn’t know that yet.

It had everything to do with how you behaved while he was attempting to have a lighthearted conversation with you.

As long as you are attractive and demonstrate confidence in how you talk to these men, you won’t have them ending conversations too prematurely and walking away from you.

Attracting men won’t be a problem.

The real question is whether a guy who has shown an interest in you and is taking you out on dates will stop the moment he learns you are a single parent.

Some guys will and some won’t.

A guy who doesn’t date women who are single parents is usually reluctant to bear the parental and financial responsibility of being a surrogate father and fearful of having to deal with the father.

Whereas a guy who usually dates women who are single parents is either a single parent as well or has a lot of exposure to children.

The latter would be a guy who consistently works or engages with children through teaching, tutoring, mentoring, sports coaching, camp counseling, etc.

A guy who is already a single parent already knows what it is like and is thereby the one with the greatest openness and oftentimes a preference to date a woman who is also a single parent.

Outside of this, a guy who isn’t a single parent but is open to dating a woman who is a single parent over the long term usually has a significant amount of experience working or interacting with children.
