Would you date an only child?

Being both Italian and an only child, I am COMPLETELY offended...

'Tis one because I have made it one, budoop. :whip:
No further explan needed. And if you have a problem with it? Well, SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND...:manicd:

OMG! It's STEPH-FACE!
 
Well... to bring this back to the subject it started out on...

I'm an only child and even though as a child, my parents gave me EVERYTHING materialwise that I wanted and then some... I am the total opposite as an adult.

Ubfortunately that came with a price. It seems where the sky was the limit with stuff... there was a definite low... and I do mean low... ceiling when it came to affection.

The men I unfortunately had relationships with were bums so I ended up supporting them so I have come to expect nothing material-wise when it comes to men. Hell... most of the time I was lucky to get a birthday card.

So, if I was ever conditioned to expect pampering and lavishing with gifts... I am long over that. In fact, right now... everything I own can be packed into a medium sized U-haul trailer... and then most of that is boxes and boxes of books.

Maybe that stigma applies to some only children... but there are certainly exceptions.

Actually... I think it was tough being an only child. At least it was back in m day. We didn't have video games... all we had were board games and card games. As an only child back then, you kinda learned to have a split personality just so you could play the "2 or more players" games... which was about 99% of all the games on the shelves.

I, for one, hated being an only child.

And to answer the question... sure I'd date an only child...

It's not the only children I have a problem with... it's the "momma's boys."

But I suppose that would be a subject for another thread.
 
I am just curious to find out how many people on this forum would date an only child. I suspect there may be a stigma (if that's the right word) that most people think that only children are very spoiled. That may be right for some but not all. I mean I am somewhat spoiled but not in a bratty way. I have the feeling that's why some of my dates didn't work out because I asked them if they had siblings and most times they did but they would ask me the same question of course.

What do you all think? Curious to hear responses.

Hey! I'M an only child!
 
Of course I would date an only child. I am an only child, and would hope that would not deter someone from dating me. I base my dating choices on the qualities and character the girl has, not on whether she has any siblings or not.

Mitch

Well, I would expect YOU to say that Mitch, lol since you are an only child.


:bowing: :bouncybou
 
Since when is a person's sibling status a requirement of dating? To me, thinking someone wouldn't date you because you're an only child is just grasping at straws to find a reason why you're single.


You know you don't have to have an attitude with me :rant:. I don't think that a person's sibling status is a big deal at all but you never know it might be a problem with some people. I am not trying to grasp at straws to find a reason why I am still single. I am quite sure the major reason I am still single is because I was only just diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome last year. People with A.S have trouble making friends, reading non-verbal communication and things like that.
 
I also want to say that the majority of people in the world have siblings. The minority of people are only children. Have only met a few only children in my life so far.

Actually I don't have an attitude with you and all I was doing was expressing my thoughts on the subject. More and more these days people want to find an excuse for their problems instead of owning up to their problems and dealing with them. Are you in that category, I don't know you so I can't say that you are or are not. That said, making a thread about a topic so trivial as to whether or not being an only child has an effect on dating someone says something. But hey its only my 2 cents so do with it as you wish.

What does this have to do with anything?

Yeah, it kinda has to be that way for our race not to die out.

Okay the reason that I say in this thread that only children are in the minority is because they aren't COMMON. In other words, most people have siblings and when they meet someone who doesn't have siblings, I think some people might find it a little strange. I think it's human nature when someone meets someone who's different from most people, that's what they MIGHT think. I am not saying that EVERYONE feels this way but some people might.

I mentioned this in another thread but I will mention it again because it relates to this topic. I was on a date one time and I told the guy I was an only child and he actually asked me why. He thought it was because my Mom died, my parents divorced or something like that. I know I didn't really have to tell him an explanation, but I decided to tell him that I was adopted and then we went on with our date. That's just an example of someone who had to find out the reason why I was an only child. Well to be truthful, he was the only guy I've been on a date with so far who has asked me why I was an only child.

Hopefully that makes sense. I certainly think it does.

Only children are really not all that uncommon. Everyone knows at least one or two. And if someone you date has a problem with you being an only child, do you really want to date them? It's not your fault your parents didn't have any other children.

I wouldn't have a problem dating an only child, and I have in the past. However, I would have a problem dating someone who was apt to lying, so next time someone asks why you're an only child, just tell the truth. You shouldn't be ashamed of who you are.
 
I have had no problems dealing or communicating with someone who is an only child. I've dated a few. My daughter happens to be one.
 
Yes I would and have. Wouldn't give a damn. I try not to stereotype anything if I can help it. 🙂
 
Hi Jen,
No hon, they are not justified. I have known several "only children" in my life and they were and still are great people.
You're a SUPER NICE lady and VERY BEAUTIFUL. Your knight in shinning armor is waiting for you somewhere out there and he won't mind one bit that you are an "only child". :3poke:

Don
 
Good for you milagros! I just think that some guys have decided not to date me just because I am an only child. Do you think they're justified? I don't but that's my opinion.

*clears throat* Ahem.... for the record, I would date you. Either judging from what you post on this forum, or just by meeting you by happenstance. If I had the vchance I am sure.:redheart::wub::redheart:

Thank you Don for saying that. You are very sweet and you've made my day :twohugs:. I am not ashamed of being an only child but I just think that they are in the minority. I am sure that I have a knight and shining armor around somewhere but I hope he shows up before I turn 40, LOL.
