Of course, you should be concerned about your children. The children are not used to sharing their mommy, so you need to sit down and talk with them. Let them know that you still care about them and always will.

Surely, you should not have sex on the first nigh. Before you have sex with the guy, make sure you get to know him first. Also, when and if you do, make sure you wear protection. Speaking in protection, never rely on the guy to have it on him. Carry protection with you just in case.

Don’t Dress Trashy

Yes, you may be trying hard to pick up a guy, but dressing trashy in my book isn’t a great idea. By doing this, you will be getting the wrong attention and you don’t want those type of guys around you or your kids.

I know, you may be in need of money, but you should not use guys. Guys will catch onto this one. Sure, it’s okay to have him buy you dinner and all of that, but don’t go overboard with this one.

I do not know about you, but people who act all depressed make me depressed. I do not like being depressed. Therefore, I try to stay away from those that are depressed. Try to smile and laugh as much as you can. Did you know that just by smiling, you will be releasing “happy hormones” into your body? Try it out and see!

Jumping into a relationship too fast does not sound like a good idea. You need to take it one day at a time and see how it works out.

Stop Saying “I’m a Single Mom”

Yes, the truth is out now. I do not like it when someone starts a conversation by saying “Hi, I’m a single mom …” This frustrates me. What are we supposed to say to that? At a dinner date, stop focusing on the fact that you are a single mom – as long as the guy knows, that’s the last time you have to bring it up. Some act as if their name has become “single mom.” You are just like anyone else in the world and you will be treated just like anyone else is. You’re a single mom, yes, but there’s no reason to focus on this fact.

Those are my 8 dating tips for single moms. Can you think of any other tips you would like to add in here?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Yes, I would like to share my thoughts. Do not sleep with him the first few months if you can help it. I know this is easier said than done, but trust me, you can keep your sanity peacefully when you wait. Given your track record as an "s" mom, you still want to be sure that he will be serious with you. Be observant of whether he would be interested in your kids. You can tell about this through conversation. That means, if your talks are mostly about your kids, or kids in general, then your good to be with him. Be proud to just be "you."

I've got some suggestions that I'm glad I'm applying.. Be realistic about your needs. You need a guy who's gonna be willing to try out 'family mode' and not someone who is still hung up on party mode. Don't introduce him to your kid(s) until you're sure this guy is committed and on the same page as you. Don't rush it! Take your sweet time to discover the answers to these questions. :)
