Dating Tips for Single Parents

Finding time for yourself as a single parent can be hard. The great thing about joining single parent dating sites is that you're only meeting other single parents in a similar situation as you. This immediately cuts down on time wasted meeting people online who aren't keen on dating single parents. Here are just a few other useful tips for single parents looking to venture back into the online dating.

Know When You're Ready

Although there's never an ideal time for dating, as a single parent, the time to meet new people is when you're ready for that next chapter. Not when you're looking to fill a gap like getting out of the house or having company. It's worth finding other ways to fill these gaps first. The more content you are with your own life, the more likely you are to be able to make dating work. Spend some time thinking about what it is you want from a partner, and don't rush into it for the wrong reasons.

Honesty Is The Best Policy

Not all single parents who start dating again are necessarily looking for the same thing. Just because you're looking for a date, doesn't mean you are looking for a long term partner who is going to step in and complete the family picture. Single mums and dads looking to date other singles parents should be open and honest with what they are looking for, and not feel guilty about whatever is right for them.

Don't Rush

Whatever the sort of dating you're after as a single parent, it's a good idea to take your time. Rushing into things too quickly when there is more than just you involved can lead to problems. Get to know each other first away from the children as much as you can. For children, the appearance of a new partner can bring up all sorts of emotions, including feeling threatened, rejected and jealous. It's therefore worth being sure about this partner before introducing them to the rest of the family.

Trust Your Instinct

Finding the right person for you can be a minefield, and even more so for single parents. It's important for parents to make wise choices, particularly when it involves bringing a new individual into contact with your offspring. It's really important to always trust your instinct, and keep an eye out for red flags. Do your parenting styles similar, do they seem able to compromise, do you have fun together? Your instinct is a powerful tool, so don't ignore it.
