man wants childrenFor people who want children, being in a relationship with someone who doesn’t want children can mean a tough decision – should they sacrifice a happy relationship just because they want children? Or should they give up on having children to keep the relationship? Singles looking for a partner that they can one day have children with face a different dilemma: How can they find singles who also want children?

A recent study not only found out what the reasons are that prevent people from wanting children and which factors have an influence on their decision. More than 1.000 childless women and men were questioned.

The results of the study should also answer questions lingering on the minds of people who want children:

  • If you are single and want children, you can find a partner who shares your wishes.
    The overwhelming majority of people who don’t have children, want to. 66 % say „I definitely want children“ or „I maybe want children”. Out of those who don’t have, but want children 44 % don’t have children yet, because they haven’t found the right partner yet. Single men in particular are looking for women who want children. More than half of the men questioned are looking for a partner to have children with. Only 33 % are looking for a father for their future children.

two single parents onlineDating single parents don’t have it easy. Many single mums and dads would like a partner to share the ups and downs of parenting with. But where can single parents find a partner that is willing to fall in love not just with a new partner, but with a whole new family?

These days, more and more dating single parents are relying on online matchmaking to help them find the right person for a happy relationship. Especially at this time of year, when we celebrate mother’s and father’s day, we want to give even more single parents the opportunity to find love through be2 matchmaking.

Are you happy on mother’s day or father’s day, because you know how blessed you are to be a parent? But are you also sad, because you don’t have a partner to share that happiness with?

Then register for a free, no strings, be2 membership and try dating for parents

Why online? Well, single parents don’t have it easy finding a partner who will fit into their life and appreciate all the commitments they already have. Dating for parents is tricky, because it can be hard to even get out for a night on the town. At the very least, they will need a babysitter and they certainly can’t just bring home a stranger after a date. Most single parents don’t have a lot of single friends, so finding a partner at parties with mostly couples is pretty impossible, too.

The next challenge that dating for parents contains is actually telling a new partner about the kids: When is the right time to tell and how will he or she react?

be2 can not only help single parents online find a partner, be2 can also take that fear out of dating for parents. Read more
