I've yet to experience that scenario, but don't see a reason why I would have a problem if the woman was the ideal match for me. It wouldn't bother me personally that she had a child, but the only thing I guess that would make me a bit unnerved is the impact the relationship may actually have on the child.

-Would you see yourself as being a positive male role model for the boy?
-This woman is independent, but does she desire to find a solid male for her son to look up to via dating and possibly committing long term with?
-Are there other adult males in this boys life that have already taken that role, making this more about the relationship between you and her?


Like I said, I've never personally dated a woman with a child, but many of my friends grew up in a single mother led household and had the experience of being that child, so thats probably why that perspective is the first one that came to mind. They turned out just fine, despite their mothers having dated a lot of dirtbags, but they all had very solid male role models despite that, such as a grandparent, uncle, or really good neighbor.
