subject: Dating Rules For Single Dads [print this page] The main problem with single parents is that they do not socialize after divorce. Some even do not go on dates anymore for quite some years of separation. They are just too busy bringing up their kids, working, and being just single parents.
Most single parents are afraid with future rejections that they tend to shut their doors to any love possibility. If there is a case of dates, single parents tend to do the wrong moves. Some single parents date because they want revenge. They think that if they go out, they will in a way prove something to their ex that they are special and it is regretful to let go of the whole marriage. These are some of the wrong reasons why single parents date in the first place.
But face reality, single parents, especially single dads, need someone in time. They need to have that special someone that will complete their life again. If you are one single father that is determined to find a long lasting relationship, you can view the following suggestions below to find a perfect wife and mom for your kids:
1. Do not bring your past history and relationship story when dating. This is major NO and a major turn off.
2. If you are hooked at dating someone finally, remember to still keep your kids in mind. Their opinion also matters a lot.
3. Just in case, prepare your kids and make them understand that you will have someone new in time. The sooner you will disclose this to them, the better they will understand the situation.
4. Choose someone that is also a single parent as you. It is important that you both share the same interest and status. This way, it will not be hard for one to adjust to another because you both feel in the same situation.
5. Never ask your partner to baby sit or take care of your children, at least not yet. You still have the responsibility to take and raise your children. Do not pass over the responsibility to someone you just met.
6. On the other hand, never stand in the middle of your partner's responsibility towards her children. You should be able to just be there for her and be diplomatic.
7. Never settle for a partner just because your children love her. Decide if it is her if you really like her and your children like her too.
8. Lastly, always consider your children's feelings first and foremost.
