How to overcome your Single Parent Dating Fears

You’ve decided to enter the dating world as a single parent you know that dating presents some challenges but you should not let your single parent obstacles turn into fear or worse stop you from dating. Questions like should I tell my child I'm dating or when should I introduce my child to my date will probably start clouding your mind. After interviewing dozens of single parents I decided to pass on their advice and add a bit of my own.

As a single parent you face some challenges that a single person without kids faces. First you must consider the following:

Jealousy from your child
Finding time to find a possible date
Finding time to actually go on a date
Balancing the time and attention you spend with your child
Single parent dating safety
Jealousy from your child

The first thing you should do once you have decided that you are ready to date and interact with other single parents you’ll want to talk with your kids about your need to be with other grown ups and finding a partner (control the conversation depending on your kids age). . Most importantly, you'll want to tell them how important they are to you and how committed you are to them make sure you don’t avoid and answer any questions they might have. Kids' fears are more fears of abandonment than anything else. They're afraid that when push comes to shove, you'll abandon them for this new relationship. Make sure that you let them know that no matter what happens they will never loose your love, support and affection. You want to show them how important they are to you but make sure that you emphasize that you're not asking for their approval.

Dating for a single parent can be hard because of your lack of time that’s why it’s so important to be part of a single parent community so you can find and interact with other single parents in a safe a convenient way. For single parents with little time to spare online dating can be a great option. Determine how much free time you have to spend online try to schedule your single parent dating experience when your kids are asleep or in school this way they won’t feel neglected.

As a single parent your safety concerns should be stronger than the average single person because not only do you have to protect yourself from harm and ill intentions but your child as well. Once you meet someone online follow the regular online dating safety guidelines don’t give out any personal information until you feel comfortable with that person, NEVER give them your home address and although you are very proud of your kids don’t exchange your kids photos until you have met in person and a sense of trust has been established.

Last never feel guilty about dating just because you are a single parent does not mean that you are not entitled to having other friends or finding a partner. It’s not impossible to have a loving relationship with your child and still save some love for that special someone or just having fun. Most of the single parents that I interviewed who had successful dating experiences all agreed on one thing being a single parent is a lot of work and dating can be intimidating so its very important to have a single parent dating community where you can interact in a safe and convenient way. With that in mind I decided to create this fun, safe and exciting online community offering you the best single parent dating experience.
