How do single moms get back into dating?
mom asked:
I just feel like I will never be able to date again. It’s been a year of being single, so I feel ready. And do decent guys date single moms? Wouldn’t they rather date women who don’t have kids? I’m 21 and my daughters 2, i really don’t want to freak her out or make her start acting up, but i really don’t know what to do.

single dating
You just get out there. As a single father, I was given the advice to NOT date women without kids. Turned out that it was great advice. I dated a couple of women with no kids, and at my age (38) it was not pleasant, because I put my kids first. The first dates for me came from the internet. Bad idea. 99% of internet dating people are issue-laden. Divorce care led me to friends who knew single women for me to meet.
My fiance and I met through friends.
Good luck. It’s not as bad as it seems

There are tons of guys out there who don’t have a problem with dating single moms, some of these guys have told me that it’s because they are attracted to strong independant women who can lead a family, or because they want to have family and can see what a good job we’re doing, some have said they find single moms more laid-back, easy-going, not into going out partying all the time, some have said that a single mom has her kids as her 1st priority, so she’s not as clingy and controlling as a woman who would make him the 1st priority.
As far as your daughter, all I can say is take things slowly with guys, try and keep it completely seperate (relationship and being a mom) until you know it’s someone you want to be serious with. So don’t introduce her to every guy you go out with, don’t allow men to sleep over or hang around your home lots until the relationship is stable.
