How to Date If You Are a Single Mom

Are you a single mom who still dreams of having a complete and happy family? Are you scared of what your kids might think or feel? Do you want another chance at love? Then make it happen! Don't ever think that having kids is a hindrance to finding happiness and love again. If a man asks you out, don't hesitate. Be proud to be a single mom, and keep in mind the following pointers:

Put your kid/s first.

Remember that you are a parent and that you have responsibilities to your children, so every time you go out, make sure that they are safe. Call up your trustworthy baby sitter or set your kids up on a play date with your friends' kids-they are sure to take good care of your precious little ones and would definitely understand your dating situation.

Never lie to your kid/s.

Being a single mom, your kids have no one to look up to but you. Having said that, it is your role to be honest with them about everything; otherwise, you'd fail them. It is okay to talk to your kids about your date and explain to them why you are doing it. It would be much easier for them to accept your situation if you don't keep it a secret. Dating behind your children's back is equivalent to lying to them, and lying would build up mistrust in your relationship. Sit them down, explain things, mind their reactions and respect them as well.

Take it one step at a time.

It could be quite a nerve-wracking experience having to introduce your date or your man to your kids, especially when they are old enough to ask questions. But this shouldn't hinder you from doing it. Sooner or later, you would have to face the situation, anyway. Just take small steps into bringing your man into the lives of your children. If you sense some retaliation, don't give up just yet-the reaction is relatively normal. That bridge between your kids and your man would eventually be complete and the bond would naturally occur. Just take time and don't rush things. Remember that being a single mom should not be a hindrance for finding a new love.
