I've talked to a few single moms in the past year and it never really worked out. I enjoy being spontaneous and doing things on a whim and with women who have children you must plan things out much more in advance. What are your thoughts/feelings on dealing with single moms and have you had any experiences yourself?

Yeah, you have to plan in advance.

Meeting their kid(s) can be really awkward.

In the end, I don't think there are many major overarching differences about single moms. They come in all shapes and sizes.

I dated a single mom for a bit. Really difficult because it exposes your own commitment issues pretty quick. If she's out for a fling then fine but otherwise likely she is sizing you up (assuming they are youngish kids)... and why wouldnt she.
If your young dont bother unless she is particularly special.

Yeah, now that I think about it, single moms are going to be skewed more to one of two sides than most women: they either want a one night stand or they want a relationship. Fuck buddy arrangements don't seem to work out with them.
