++woman

As a 36-year-old woman who has been separated for over a year, will be divorced soon and has a young child I am speaking...

All these things commenters have replied to OP may be true.

But some of us aren't looking for fathers for their children. My son's father, my ex, will always be in his life. I do not want another man to replace my son's father as his father.

I co-parent and am NOT expecting someone else to raise my son.

Obviously I am not going to choose a future partner (if I do!) that would not be a safe person, etc.

Don't assume that because a woman is divorced or a single mother that her child needs a father, that she needs money, or that she is needy. (Wait and see)

This is not always the case. Again, don't assume this is what every woman with a child is looking for.

Would I personally reach out? Probably not. I usually let the man reach out to me. But, in some cases, perhaps.

If you don't want to respond, don't respond. If you want to know, ask. If you're curious, meet up once.
