    My first thought was that I hoped you found someone around your age in a similar situation who already has a child LOL. Create a blended family while the kids are still little and you get a sibling for your child as well as a loving partner. Well..that would be the dream situation maybe!

    I'm 31 about to be a single mum and have never wanted an only child. So I reckon when I start dating again I'll be open to dating other people with kids! I don't fancy being pregnant a second time at this stage.

    Best of luck!

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the nice comments and good advice. Has made me a little more open minded on the topic


    Been looking at getting back into the dating game, but I'm so out dated in that department, so kind of gave up Seem most girls my age have completely different interests and stuff. Plus when a lot of them find out I have a child, it scares them off, or they get sick of it once they find out I can't come out every weekend and drink all night with them. So I just take things as they come. But after just moving to Cairns (use to live in Melbourne) and knowing no one, you kind of miss that adult conversation and company.

    I start my new job up here next week so looking forward to hopefully making some new friends.

    Welcome to BellyBelly. Hopefully, you can enjoy a bit of interaction around here

    Good luck for the new job!

    ETA: I can understand feeling a bit disconnected from people your age. I'm 21 and most of my friends are long off having children so don't really understand where I am coming from most of the time.

    hey single dad its lovely to see that you have taken on the role of sole carer of your adorable son... whats his name?
    i think you are one great guy, i am 21 and about to give birth to my first son and i know exactly how you feel about being so young and the change in interests. i take my hat off to you for taking responsibility and do believe you will find that dream girl, and if shes scared off with the fact of your son then both of you dont need her live for eachother
    there is plenty of lovely ladies around here that im sure would be willing to lend advice and a shoulder to lean on when needed, if you need someone to chat to feel free.

    good luck with everything

    Hiya Singledad

    Great to see such a young man take great resposibility. I'm sure Tyler will benefit from it greatly throughout his life. Welcome to Cairns also. I've been here about 12 years and call myself a local so if you ever need any advice on anything or just a chat drop me a line. Take care. xxoo
