Make sure that if you decide to go out dating on Friday, you also take the kids out on Saturday for some fun that does not involve your date at all. You should met more than one person, so that you have an opportunity to see who is an ideal match for you. I actually like compartmentalizing my lives as a mom and as a dating woman. But women new to single motherhood may still be learning how to balance their new dating solo with their job as a full-time single mom. It also gives you the opportunity to date until you're ready to commit, without becoming completely absorbed by one person. Guys are still picking up the check. Problem: Face it, even though I'm 29, I have a curfew -- as in I have to get responsible to relieve the babysitter. You fall in love with her kids. This phase won't last forever, but while she's in it, enjoy it.
Written by on CafeMom's blog, Can I tell you a happy dating story? I feel like we hear a lot of dating horror stories. And believe me, there's a couple reasons for that. First of all, they're more entertaining. Secondly, we share those stories as cautionary tales to warn each other of the dangers and douche bags -- helpful especially to us single moms who are dating after years of being off the shelf. When I started dating again after 16 zoiks! What I wasn't prepared for was for so much to go... People still go on dates. You know, date dates? Maybe Millennials have given up on the ancient practice, but adults my age are still doing real dates. I've gone to dinner, to the movies, to plays, to the opera. Guys are still picking up the check. However you feel about it, that is still happening as well. I mean, if you insist, you can go dutch or cover the check yourself. But I've been surprised to find guys diving for that check at the end of the night. And considering what I'm paying in babysitting, it's usually just fine with me. Childless guys will happily date moms. Here I thought it would be only single dads who'd want to date me. But nope -- I've dated just as many never-married guys with no kids. Smart men will look at you as a whole, multifaceted person, not just through the lens of one role. Some guys may even admire you more for being a parent. Childless guys aren't necessarily immature narcissists. There are childless men who are capable of understanding all the demands you're juggling as a single mom. They respect you for your juggling act, and they'll be flexible and understanding. Of course, the reverse is also true: Being a dad doesn't necessarily mean you've got your shit together or that you're over yourself. Not all men my age want to date someone 10 years younger. Many guys know how to service a woman properly. Without going into too much detail... There are men out there who consider it a duty and a pleasure to rock your world sexually. No need to waste your time with someone who doesn't. It helps if you send out the right signals that that's something you want, though. Figure out what you think makes you sexy and work it, baby. Your kid just might be okay with you dating. A lot depends on how you handle the situation, and how old your kids are. But I think in general, if all else is good with your relationship with your kids, and you've done the hard work of processing the divorce with them, they will accept the idea of you socializing with men who are not Daddy. If you're happy, they're happy usually. Obviously boundaries and communication are important, but don't assume your kids will be threatened by your going out on dates. Calling all single moms, have you found these to be true? More from The Stir: Keep in touch! Check out HuffPost Divorce on and.
