just a question for all the single parents who can not find dates. what are you doing different then before you had kids? What do you look for in the person? Has that changed? What do you really value? Say someone took your kids for the weekend? (relative or friend) What would you do during that time? Who would you call? What would you want to have happen? That first thought that came into your head( The one you likely will not admit) can give some insight on who you really are?

For some of us we already have it all worked out. Going to go hook up with this person. or goto the club or bar and meet someone. If the first thought was to do what you used to do before you had kids then likely you are still looking for that shallow person that bailed out on you when things got a little tough. or that you hooked up with for a one night stand. In all reality do something different. That is the only way you will find someone different.

Reality nice guys or girls do not exist in the way they think they do. Reality if they were as nice as they claimed to be why would they handle rejection so hard? Granted there are some people that treat people well and do things for others. But that often is just to buy friendship. I treat you well in hopes you do the same. if you don't then i do not want anything to do with you. Does anyone else find this happening or is just me?

Also one other warning when dating a single parent with little kids pay attention to where their focus is. if they pay more attention to you than their kids. run away as fast as you can. big warning sign. their good parent act is just an act.

I don't know. As a single parent it is tough dating and relationships and all that stuff. I would say focus on yourself and your children. If somone comes along, great, if not don't sweat it!
