Parent Dating
Are you a single dad or single mom with kids,
looking to get back into the dating scene? Then check out Kelly's
story on Single Parent Dating.
A few years ago some friends of ours
went through a divorce. Over time Kelly started to express her
loneliness and how she was considering getting back into the dating
scene. But, her concerns were always the same "Where do I
start?" or "How can I find a good man when I've got two kids
in tow?" Yeap, it's more difficult to date when you have kids.
With working all day, taking the kids to one event or another.
Spending the weekends with homework, housecleaning and grocery
shopping, where's the time? Plus, what about the cost, babysitters,
dinners out, the whole idea can be quite overwhelming. That's when I
suggested Online Dating.
As outlined in my book
"the Ultimate Online Dating Handbook: It's easy to do, and doesn't
cost an arm and a leg. As a matter of fact you can get started meeting
new people for Free. And here's the best thing. Once you've got the
kids all tucked away in dream land you can head for your computer and
have some Mommy (or Daddy) time. From the comfort of your own home you
can get to know people. Pour yourself a glass of your favorite white
wine, put on some soft music, and chat up a storm. You'll find many,
many new dating prospects without even leaving the house. Once you
create your online dating profile, and start responding to other
dating profiles your social life will be enhanced almost overnight! So
guess what? She decided to give it a try. And, after chatting for just
a short period of time she decided there were a couple of gentlemen
who seemed "worthy" of her time and money. As she would have
to pay the neighborhood babysitter for the evening.
All through her online dating
experience she was careful to play it safe and keep her anonymity
guarded. But, what about now? What happens now? Well, you still want
to protect your anonymity. You must remember that giving out your
personal information to someone you still don't really know not only
gives them access to you, but to your children as well. And, of course
as parents we all want to be protective of our kids. So, don't give
your personal information out until you've met this person a few times
offline, and you feel comfortable with him. There is no point giving
someone all your personal information and after the first face to face
met you feel this person is not for you. And yes, this does happen.
Sometimes those we met face to face may not be quite the same as when
we conversed online and therefore you may decide he is not for you.
Simply arrange for a place and time to meet and take your own
transportation there and back home. Never let your date pick you up at
home, and always tell someone where you are going, who you are with
and when they should expect you home. Listen to your intuition! Your
gut feeling is always right, and you'll know when the time is right to
give out more personal information. Also, another great tool is doing
a background check. This will tell you of any criminal or marriage
records.
If you do find someone special enough
to spend time with. Someone who can love your children too - Yes, you
are part of a package deal remember. You and your kids. Start slowly
having your children spend time with the two of you together. Any
action you take is going to affect their lives as well. So they'll
need to be happy with your new friend also. You'll need to be up front
with them, on a level they can understand for their age group. Just
listen to your heart, you'll know when it's the right time to
introduce your friend to your kids.
Don't spend time with anyone who can't
love your children too. As I said earlier you are part of a package
deal, it's you and your kids. So if you're looking for romance,
a long-term
relationship or even marriage you owe it to yourself to check out Single Parent Dating
