Single parent dating tip

[KorioLinn]

Dating at any time of life can usher in a lot of unsolicited advice from friends, family members and strangers. But when you’re a single parent it tends to go into overdrive. Married friends will try to live vicariously through you. Single friends with no kids will want to drag you out to bars. Perhaps most frustratingly, there will be people reminding you of the negatives of trying to date as a single parent.

If there are people in your life passing judgement on your dating life or suggesting that, as a single parent, you will struggle to find lasting love, simply don’t listen! This kind of input isn’t always meant unkindly, but you shouldn’t let it influence your behaviour.

When it comes to former partners – the mother or father of your children – you have no obligation to heed their dating advice or fill them in on every detail of your love life, particularly if they’re being difficult.
Having said that, it’s normally best to let them know you are dating, simply for the sake of practicality. An ex can come in handy when you need someone to look after the kids on date nights!

These are good tips. I can add some information to this. If you have a child but you do not want to put an end to your personal life, then ... use a dating site. I can advise you to read this article to see the benefits of this approach. The average time to search for a partner on such a site is three months.
