If you’re currently looking for love and not including single dads in your search, you’re doing it wrong.
You’re not likely to stumble upon a more selfless or loving guy than one who has raised his kiddos on his own (or mostly on his own).
But hey, don’t take it from us, take it from the guys themselves. We recently asked a handful of single dads to give us their best elevator pitch for dating one of their brethren. See what they had to say below.
1. He’s going to take things slow.
You know that guy you got coffee with once who subsequently badgered you with requests to hang out for weeks on end? Most single dads are not that guy. Single dads don’t have time to be that guy.

7. He’s playing for keeps.
The last thing any single parent wants to do is introduce an S.O. to their kids, only to have that person disappear from their lives somewhere down the road. If you’re dating a single dad, you’re more than likely dating someone who isn’t just looking to hook up. He’s likely in it for the long haul, Bielanko says.
“If you end up dating a single dad steady, well, my guess is that you’re probably dating a fellow who is really into you for some very good reasons, a man who truly appreciates the fact that somehow, in the middle of so much chaos and uncertainty, you’ve both managed to find each other in this world,” says Bielanko. “And when you think about it, that’s about as good as dating ever gets.”
