I dunno. I think this guy put a lot on the line to go on the show, which to me means that he's more genuine. He did seem extremely close to his son. I know this from experience with my husband and stepson -- it takes a lot of fortitude to date someone whose entire life is dedicated to a child. He might have had problems with women he's dated feeling like they weren't getting enough attention. No matter what the man tells you, that child is ALWAYS going to come first. You just have to recognize that it's OK that way, and the child is lucky to have someone love him that much.

I loved watching him with his son. What a close bond they have! He seems like a really nice guy but I'm not sure DeAnna is up for the challenge of dating a single dad.

I agree, I don't think Deanna could date a single dad.

As a former single mom, I went to a speed dating event with another single mom friend of mine and we did an experiment. Even though the dates were only 5 minutes long, I made a point of telling every single guy that I had a daughter, and she didn't tell any of the guys that she was a mom (also has one daughter). When we got our scores, we both had 6 mutual matches. She had actually had more guys wanting to match with her (but she hadn't picked them as ones she was interested in), and of the 6 guys that we both matched with, 5 were the exact same guys. Based on our unscienfic experiment, we decided that those guys were open enough to dating a single mom that Jen didn't need to worry about "letting it slip" and that of the guys that were interested in dating my friend Jen but not me, Jen wasn't interested in most of them anyway - likely immature or superficial boobs, of which there were plenty in that crowd.

There was a single mom on the Charlie O'Connell season of the Bachelor and she made it a while, and eventually told Charlie, but then he axed her shortly thereafter because that freaked him out. I think younger (20s) people are a lot less open to dating a single parent then people in their 30s, especially late 30s. When I met my husband (who was 36 when we met), he said even though he'd never dated a single mom before it wasn't a problem because at our ages, if you want to have a family, a lot of people who also want a family got a head start on you.

You brought up some great thoughts here L.G. Its funny we never saw Jenni talking with Jason so we'll never know if she asked those questions or how he answered, unless it comes up on conversation with DeAnna and Jason.

I wondered about this myself, but I also think that DeAnna, the loving gal that she is, might just fall in love with Jason's son and not be concerned by it. The boy was very cute.

Jason had me at Hello...... then when I found out his son's name was Ty...that took me over the top... my 4 year old grandson is named Ty! Hooked, line and sinker!

Seems like a nice guy. I really liked him in the beginning, when he was with his son. But with DeAnna....Hmmmmm....I dunno. Something a bit clingy and needy in the way he looked after her all the time. I might be wrong. I thought the first show was hysterical!

I do think it is important for Jason to tell Deanna - the sooner the better - before this process goes much further. If I had invested feelings in a man, and then, all of a sudden, oh by the way, I have a child, I am not sure how I would handle this. His best option is to be straightforward and tell her sooner, not later.
I think Deanna will appreciate his honesty.

i love jason! he really does seem so sweet and genuine. i'm sure it would be a shocker for deanna when she first finds out, but i think it really is the best decision for him not to tell her yet. she needs to get to know who he is, bc the fact that he has a child would probably initially be a shock. but also, he hopefully wont tell her too late!

I adore this guy!!! I really hope he goes far! I don't think telling her in that zoo of a first night would have been the best decision. I think he should tell her soon, but their "alone time" was so limited and often randomly interrupted, telling her then would not really allow an adult, mature conversation about it.
