Single Parent Dating Guide. Kid-Proofing Your Dates
If navigating the dating scene seems hard enough for single people, just imagine how much harder it can be for single parents due to their unique circumstances. Many single moms and dads have not dated anyone else since they got hitched to their exes, so naturally, there’s an element of awkwardness, of not quite fitting in. Also at the back of a single parent’s mind is the nagging thought that, “I already have kids and stretchmarks. Who will find me desirable now?”
If you are a single parent entertaining the idea of having a new romance in your life, realize that the quality of relationships you find now is directly proportional to your current level of self-esteem. If you see yourself as a worthless, middle-aged, unattractive, partly obese social outcast for whom the only thing that won’t cause jitters is changing kids’ diapers, you are doing yourself a great disservice by sabotaging your own potential to attract people to you. So, toss aside those negative thoughts before they become self-fulfilling prophecy, dust off your confidence and open yourself to the possibility of finding true love NOW!
