Would you be put off dating someone if they were a single parent?? (particularly interested in Ladies POV)?

I've dated guys with kids before...ones who shared custody, had occasional visitation, and who had primary custody. I have no children myself nor do I intend to. It's not been an issue for me.

The older we get, the more likely it is that the people we date will have kids...I'm 44 but have been divorced for over a decade.

No I would quite happily date people with youngsters.
However the behavior of the youngsters may put me off and how the parent handles them, may put me off. I really don't like kids with no idea of right and wrong and parents who think it's acceptable for them to be that way.

That's just silly to only look for other single moms instead of ones without children, too. If you click with someone, you just click. You'd be limiting your choices. If they are into you, they will welcome the fact that you're a parent. Your son is a part of you.
When you are ready to date, that is entirely up to YOU. It's okay to get input from friends and others, but it is simply their opinion. With whom and when you want to date is up to YOU.
The only other piece of advice (that I've heard from many as a single Mom, myself) is to not bring a significant other around your child until you realize that it is becoming something serious and you know it will be a long-term relationship..especially considering your son's age and how much he is able to understand.
Good luck and happy dating! :)

no i don't think it would put me off at all, you can't choose who you fall for so i wouldn't just seek a single mum

Very difficult question, taking on a child is a very big commitment especially if you are a woman dating a guy with a child. Of course you may be a woman who does not want to go through childbirth, but would like a child. If that is the case, no problem, or of course you are a woman who knows she cannot have children, then again it might be the right thing for you.

i would start datin if i were u man

and serioulsy my mom had kids (4) then she met my step dad he had 2 kids

and its best to find a person with NO kids becasue there is jeously and the step parent dosent like ur kids and the kids get fucked up thats what happend when my mom met my step dad i was 11 btw they got married in 03 but still my sis was 5 ( da youngest) at da time and she is jeouls and **** and hates my step dad so
yeah man

its best if only one side has the kids

You should start dating when and whom you feel operate, It seems to me that you are not seeing things clearly at this time. You need to wait until you can make your own personal decisions, Not want someone else thinks you should be doing.

not quite sure what you mean here but i think it is up to you if and when you date if anyone has anything to say about it tell them to mind theyre own business
