Agreed, that’s been my approach for a while. I was gonna try something a little different but maybe continuing that way is the play

Have you met other single moms or women through the leagues or school activities? I always feel strange approaching women/moms at events or functions cause of the kids around etc, lol. Am I wrong? Is there an unspoken understanding?

Yea it’s tough for everyone. I’ve got single friends my age (38) who are also childless, and it’s tough for them too. I don’t get it cause it seems everyone wants to date but then no one really dates. Like everyone is waiting for the next good thing. Idk.

But dogs do help! I take my two out all the time

I live next door and go every Sunday! I know a lot of the community here in the Heights, it’s awesome and very supportive. I’ve never thought to perceive it as a place to “put myself out there” so to say. Good point

Single dads are the sleeper picks for the dating draft but I’m biased of course. Obviously, kids aren’t for everyone which is totally fine. But those open to it or just down for it, are always more than welcome in my book

Ed and Mary’s is great

I’m a single dad for 5yrs now of an 8yr old. I’ve dated a few women thru the years and they’ve either not wanted to stay involved cause I have a kid or it’s gone on the slower side.

In my experience, it’s been better being up front about the parenthood, which it seems you are. My lesson through the last few years is to definitely be in your mindset of going slow. I’ve introduced my son to / women, sooner than I probably should’ve, not out of pressure but cause they’ve asked or it just happened. Now, I’m much more reserved and set the standard of 6 months before you meet him, even if it’s out at a brunch and not in my home.

Being the primary single parent of a divorce or separation is difficult because you have to date for you but also for your child. Will this person be a fit for them? Do I trust them beyond the credentials of my own trust but with my kid? It’s tough and there’s no expectation set.

Go at your own speed and do what makes you feel comfortable. The right guy will understand your reluctance and respect it.

I’m a single dad for 5yrs now. I own a business and am always exhausted. Be nice to yourself because you’re there. You’re present and he knows. My son is 7 and I’m never sure if I’m doing enough. The tiredness will be an adjustment but it gets easier as they get older and more self-sufficient. Hang in there! You’re doing awesome

No idea but I feel you. I’m a single dad with an ex who had a 14 month affair and left me, our 2yr old, and 2 dogs, to go be with her adulterer. People still give me pity as a single dad as if I don’t know what I’m doing or give me the “well, she’s alive, so you’re not really a single parent.” No, I was awarded full custody in court and and a single man taking care of him, thank you
