she's abusing you, cut off all contact

really, she's really not even that abusive?

Youre bottom feeding. Shes not desperate, youre desperate. You never ever marry a single mom. Its not that boys fault, you can be a mentor to him, but just that. Dont get involved with her. You still have some years tonfind a valuable woman.

Hmmm, will take note of this....

Babysitting her kid seems like an unnecessarily complicated way to get this single mom.

Why don't you actually make a move. Don't come off as obvious or desperate either that's no fun for women, even desperate ones.

If this is real:

Maybe watch a movie with her when kid goes to bed. Sit close to her put your hand next to her leg then on it. Stay relaxed wait for opportunity to go in for kiss. Keep escalating.

Or invite her out to something that you would probably do anything, see if she goes

The obvious thing is to ask her about her living situation. Could she move in with you. Explain that you have a thing for her and you already are feeling like this kid's dad. You aren't looking for an easy relationship but if she's willing to take a chance and get a bit of relief from some bills, it could work out.

I'd be clear that you in no way want the kid's bio-dad showing up at your place. You aren't against him having a relationship with his kid, but not on your turf, ever!

You will have to be a strong and gentle man to handle this situation. Best of luck bro.

Yo anon, thanks for the advice, man. Asking about her living situation makes a lot of sense—didn’t even think about that angle. I like the idea of laying it all out, telling her I’m catching feels and already feel like Liam’s dad. It’s true, I’m not looking for some easy fling; I’m ready to step up for both of them. The bills thing could really help her out too, take some weight off her shoulders. Hope this works out
