Dating a single mother can be meaningful, but it comes with unique challenges. Here are some potential *problems to be aware of*:

1. Limited Time and Energy
- Her child comes first, so you may get less time and attention.

2. Emotional Baggage
- She may have unresolved issues from past relationships or the child’s father.

3. Co-parenting Conflicts
- The ex may still be involved, which can create tension or boundaries.

4. Slow Commitment
- She may take longer to trust and commit, to protect herself and her child.

5. Financial Pressure
- Raising a child alone is expensive; money may be tight or priorities may differ.

6. You Must Accept the Child
- You’re not just dating her — you’re slowly becoming part of her child’s world too.

If you’re mature, patient, and supportive, dating a single mom can be a deeply rewarding experience.
